Ok this has all helped me hugely, especiall ythose comments on my lineup, and fatigue of pitchers and also what effect it has on my outfielder.

Now i have yet more questions;

Firstly a reoccuring one, back to pinch hitters, im not sure how to do this, if i replace my pitcher with a a hitter when i feel i need to pinch hit, then im going to have to bring another pitcher on arent i? and he will then be higher up the order? so its confusing me a bit.

My second question, is what positiions on the outfield are most important defensively, ive heard from a few posts CF is an important one, are there any more, for instance my shortstop seems to be involved a lot.

And finally trading, it's become clear to me maybe i didnt have the best draft, or that trading is vital to getting a good team. Although i'm doing ok in spring training, I feel I could use one or 2 more top players, or greater depth for when fatigue and injuries come in at some point.

So ive found some players im interested in, really top of the range players, what does it take to do to geth old of these sort of quality players? Is it impossible? or can it be done, my settings are to normal for trading so id think it should be possible at some poin. I offered about 4 million to an japenese team for a big hitter, which on the brief summaryo n the trading page they said was ok, then they said no way. So do i offer players as well, beuase i see thats a big part of trading in baseball, and what sort of players do i offer?

Also how much money do i want to say is a maximum to pay for a player, because that also factors into contracts so obviously i want to keep money for that, unless of course the players i offload total up to the new players wages?
