Not a bad game menu at all, but two important things got left out somehow: infield deep and outfield shifts.

Infield deep is a strategy used to cut down on hits, usually with slow runners at bat. The infielders back up significantly. While decreasing the chance of a hit, it does increase bunt chances and the chance of a fast runner beating a throw to a base if he hits a grounder.

Outfield shifts (left/right) are used to cut down on hits to one side of the outfield. They are an important way of dealing with pull hitters.

Both of these are needed to give a full strategic feel to the game.

Can you please put them on the list for the first major patch?
