The issue with catchers is that the AI should treat them as a special case and the backup C should never start elsewhere unless there is an injury. If the AI evaluation has the backup C ranked as a better 1B than other candidates he will start.
A do not start at X position check box would be useful. That way you could block him from starting but not stop the AI from using him when needed in-game. |
I don't like the idea of keeping the backup catcher on the bench when he's the best option at another position.
Perhaps the catcher should be a special case where you're allowed to set a backup who is starting elsewhere?
That way, if the backup catcher is also your starting first baseman, when the starting catcher is tired your backup catcher would catch and the backup first baseman would start at first base.
