Yes, I meant here the base coaches normally handle taking an extra base. The manager is not in a position to do so. Normally the manager of course handles base stealing, often relaying signals through the coaches.

You CANNOT let the AI handle stealing. That's one of the things I would like to see changed.
I also let the computer take care of the defensive positioning, only stepping in myself occasionally. Defensive positioning is another thing that could be improved, it is for example not possible to put on a shift or bring an outfielder to the infield. But I guess it would be quite difficult to program the game to allow for such alignments.
