Championship Manager / Football Manager has had this built in forever. In fact, as they get older, players often get a "Player/Manager" clause in their contracts whereby if they get offered a shot to player-manager someplace, they get right out of their contracts and go. Their "player" aspect eventually retired, but the manager part (along with the manager history) keeps going on.

Kinda cool with old Championship Manager back to go through 30 seasons and watch the old guard of Sir Alex & Co. retire after a time and players Shearer go into managing careers.

Hopefully it's something that OOTP can lift from them in their association with the Football Manager family.

There's an absolute crapload of things in CM/FM that would make OOTP more enjoyable. I think one of the problems with baseball is that it is so massively stat intensive that one can see it eat up a lot of database size.
