Maybe this is a situation like you just explained with the pitcher's role, but I hope there may be something you could do to rectify this. Also, through two months of the sim it seems the Tigers power numbers are pretty low (actually at a quick glance the entire AL seems low) Thames had 12 (too many, but he was also getting too many AB's as I said), Inge had 9, Sheffield had 6 and there wasn't anybody else with more than 3. Noteables; Guillen 1, Ordonez 2. I plan one running some more tests, maybe this was a fluke, but it just seemed a little extreme.
Am I allowed to quote myself????? Anyway, finished out that first sim and wanted to finish my thoughts at first season's end....

-Thames: 46HR (WOW!!) 128 RBI (really need to find a way to cut his AB
-Ordonez: only 9 HR (not to mention gets sent to Toledo after season)
-Sheffield: gets released as you already have mentioned
-Granderson: .257 12 48 and only 5 triples
-Verlander: just flat awful stats over 6 ERA, and gets moved to MR
-Guillen: ended with 18 HR (not bad)
-Rogers: pitched a grand total of 47 Inn (no injuries) gets released

ok thats enough for now, I am eager to run some more test but will probably wait for the next release.
