Spring Training Lineups

perez24 · 10-26-2009, 09:47 AM

Any suggestions on setting spring training lineups so that my normal 8 players get some, but not a lot, of playing time? I don't mind them starting games, but I want them out by the 4th inning or so.

The game kinda does this on its own, though not quite as soon as the 4th inning. More like the 6th or 7th. I'm not sure you can actively affect when the AI takes your players out.

You can use 7-day lineups or your depth chart to change who starts, though the AI will often use your starters as backups in those scenarios.

I'm not sure I have an answer to do exactly what you are trying to do.

Thanks. Those are some good ideas.

The game plays starters for 4 innings and batters (I'm pretty sure) for 3 ABs before substituting them for the bench (highest prospects first).

You can get pitchers out by setting pitch counts, but I don't know how to get batters out sooner than 3 ABs unless you substitute manually.
