Why is "Stopper" not available for modern era?
I've been hoping for the longest time OOTP would allow me to assign relief pitchers to play the way I want them played, and they brilliantly came up with the "Stopper" role in the bullpen, which is exactly how I use the player most folks call a closer. But it's not available in the Modern era, thus can't be used in any of my online leagues. This is a great feature, but why are we so limited by it? Makes no sense whatsoever to me other than to say "because that's not how Tony Larussa does it."
