That's what I do as well, and it works fine, but of course, it only works in games that are manually played, or at least manually set up.

I would LOVE to see perhaps a new toggle, Force All Active Players Eligible, that could be checked off on the the ORG screen, so that prior to each game (autoplayed or manually played) the CM would make all active players eligible, which would clear up most if not all of the problems involving the TIME setting for pitchers, such as letting pitchers hit in obvious situations etc. This enhancement would take place AFTER the actual transactions are done and shouldn't affect anything else.

I don't think that would be a huge undertaking to add to the game. Then again, I'm not a programmer, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. <G>
