Position players as pitchers and pitchers as position players

efgn · 05-03-2006, 07:30 PM

I want to have enabled the option of teach a pitcher to play a position and hit (and viceversa) in OOTP, due to Babe Ruth case.

Any post here.

You can already teach a pitcher a position in the minors of OOTP6.5 (I've done it several times)

Personally, I'd like to be able to pinch hit with a pitcher without it automatically inserting him as a pitcher and making him face a batter.

Yeah, I ran into that when I wanted to use a some-what speedy pitcher (on his off-day) as a pinch-runner. The game inserted him as the new pitcher and screwed up my whole rotation!

I'd like to go DH-less in a DH league if I had a good hitting pitcher if I wanted to. I tried that with a previous version, wouldnt let me.

I completely agree. I find I'd like to insert a pitcher into a non-pitching role about three or four times each season. And then there's the Jose Canseco as a relief pitcher desire that I'd like to quench.

I was at that game, when Canseco pitched! I was 7 or 8 years old, but I can remember it well. He threw sidearm and I think he blew his arm out, landed on the DL. It was Boston vs Texas, right?

And now Ozzie Guillen is here, too! Hey, Ozzie, did you get the URL from Curt Schilling, too?

I did enjoy the article though, especially the line "he had settled down in a 'normal' marriage with a former Hooters waitress and fitness champ..."

LOL
