Suggestion: provide a control to globally adjust "favor L/R matchups" ...probably under League Setup / Strategy & Equivalencies

Reason: There is too much platooning. Computer managers go overboard in platooning, probably because it is strategically sound as the game is now set up. In order to compete properly, I'm forced to platoon at any position possible to take advantage of the exaggerated L/R bias. But it is in excess of real baseball.

It has been suggested that the L/R bias is being figured twice (pitcher and hitter) when it should accurately be figured only once, accounting for a double bias.

Priority: High. It skews the game unrealistically, keeping stars from being everyday players.
