No. *sigh* I will try again. AT RANDOM I get a dialog telling me that some POSITION PLAYER had learned a new POSITION, pitcher. This IS NOT POSSIBLE to do in the game by choice. It happens at random to some player. Form that point the game gets very confused as to whether the player is a pitcher or a hitter. For example, the player is listed with the pitchers in the trade dialog. He will also be put in games by the AI and will actually pitch. Again, THIS IS RANDOM, not something I chose. It is being forced on me. THIS IS A BUG! Its happens A LOT. Five players now in five seasons have "learned" to play pitcher defensively on my team alone. I do teach players other positions. I will teach CF guys LF or RF. I will also teach SS to play 2B and, if any player has crappy range but good power, I will teach him 1B. But IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to teach a position player to play pitcher defensively AND YET IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM. Sorry to yell, but people seem to be either ignoring me or completely misunderstanding what I am trying to say. I have some screen caps. I will post them tomorow.
