Excellent question. I hope someone is able to answer in the affirmative.

I'd like to know the answer to that one myself.

I meant to type CF, not C

It's just an example...I would wonder the same for players that can play SS, 2B, and 3B

or a player that can play 1B and LF

excellent to hear. Though I never could tell for certain how previous versions handled this, I always felt like I had to change their "official" position to make them seem more attractive.

Actually, yes it is in the game. Also another quick right-click on the player's name link.

Does the AI itself use the "Shopping a player" option?


Does the AI itself use the "Trading Block" option?

But really all I want to do is play.

So I'll try harder to be patient and hopefully the board will be patient with me.
And yes, I am still continuing my campaign to promote adding a 'mass select' option to Out of the Park 10.

The AI definitely uses the block. For example, while writing the manual, I created a league, didn't control any teams, and simmed a few months. When I went to take a screenshot of the trading block page, there were three players out there. I never put them there...

Regarding player shopping, not as such. There's no messages, for example, that say "So and so is shopping a player. What would you like to do?"

The AI handles such things using slightly different mechanisms, in many case, than human managers do, largely because having the AI use the same graphical mechanisms as humans would make the game unbearably slow.

Hope that helps.

In a game with too many near-useless emails, no one has thought to include player shopping emails as at least an option? It would actually be useful to get an email like this.

No. But they can nix any trade involving them.
