That's not what is being asked for. What is being asked for is enough AVERAGE starters in leagues where only feeder leagues are being used to feed the draft. Right now instead of significant amounts of starters, feeder leagues generate lots of highly-rated two-pitch players who go on to become star relievers, and insufficient amounts of what will become even average starters. Over time you wind up with a league full of crappy starters and ace relievers, which is screwed up and wrong. Simulate ten years of a MAL league which draws from stock HS/College feeder leagues only for its draft and see for yourself. Watch the draft classes for three- and four-pitch starter prospects. Compare the number to real life.

But Markus doesn't believe this is a real problem, so he won't fix the two-pitch starter problem, so we won't be able to use feeder leagues in 14.

Again.

@#$%^!!!!!

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
