I have a major problem with OOTP X.

I converted my OOTP9 universe and was playing my Yankees vs. Orioles game tonight. In the 8th inning, the Orioles went to the bullpen and brought in starter Kevin Millwood. I then took a look at their roster and saw that Millwood was moved from starter to middle reliever and reliever Rocky Cherry was moved from reliever to starter.

After the game, I took a look at the rest of the majors. With only about 3 exceptions, all of the other teams in the majors had at least 1 starter that OOTP X decided to move to the bullpen and at least 1 reliever moved into the rotation. The most egregious case was the Red Sox moving Jonathan Papelbon into the rotation. (Yes, he could have been a starter, but he is now entrenched in the bullpen and there is nothing in my particular OOTP universe that would unentrench him from the closer spot.)

Until this is fixed, I can't play this game. I'll go back to OOTP 9 and just call OOTP X a wasted purchase.
