Anybody else seeing that, especially with A/A or A/B guys?
I've heard others make this complaint, but I really haven't noticed the rates being anywhere near that high for my games that I play out. I occasionally see a pickoff, but not often.

It would probably be good if players had some sort of baserunning rating that would make them more or less likely to get picked off/get caught trying to extend a hit/etc. Perhaps that rating could also be used in determining their abilities to get leads.
