Hi, I have two suggestions for the new game...

I would like some kind of indication, when a player is moved to a new position, how long it will take him to improve at the position from my scouts. I'm also (or particularly?) curious as to this as it applies moving left on the defensive spectrum. For example, if I have an outstanding defensive shortstop and move him to 2b, at the moment it seems (and I could have this wrong, but again, this is sort of part of the issue, I don't know) that he will be basically a butcher, which doesn't seem quite right. I don't know precisely how to deal with all this in the game but would like it taken into account.

Similarly, moving pitchers from the bullpen to the rotation seems to be basically impossible, as their stamina SEEMS (and again, could be wrong) to be woefully inadequate. Does it improve? I am very leery of moving Chapman, say, to the rotation because it seems he will be useless by the current ratings, even if on a normal starter's rest. Relievers seem to always be relievers forever. I think the whole idea behind stamina for pitchers needs a rethink.

Thanks for an awesome game lads and I can't wait for the next installment!
