First, thanks for responding.

Second, no I'm not offended by anyone trying to make suggestions on how to learn. The fact is, I'm very new to baseball and I really don't know much about in-game tactics or strategy or why the OF with the best arm should play right field. I'm not really sure what a "hit and run" is and I've never even heard of a "run and hit" as I saw listed on one of the screen choices. I plan on learning all that stuff though. I've already learned a lot.

And thanks for the wikipedia suggestion, I've already found that and have been making copius 3x5 cards for reference.

I love trying to learn complex things. I don't get much enjoyment from doing things like watching television or stuff like that so I normally sit at my computer most days. And most computer games don't interest me unless they are both realistic and deep (thus OOTP).

So, yes, I'm struggling to understand this game and baseball. But that's part of the fun for me.

By the way, where can I find something as the poster above suggested, that would offer suggestions on the best places to put players with certain skills. That would be great for me.

Thanks.
