Stats should definitely matter, especially the previous season.
The same with a closer who has like 30-40 saves, the next season they are moved to setup for a younger slightly higher rated pitcher who might not have ever closed a game in his career.
I'm wondering if maybe a 50/40/5/5 setting would stop this from happening? I can't test in CM - really hoping Markus will allow us to change that. 
Maybe even a setting to weigh more on a veteran player with several seasons played vs a younger player who may have higher ratings, but no MLB experience? |
I think the thing that gets me the most is seeing a veteran starter on the downside of his career but under contract put up a respectable season with like 12 wins and a 3+ WAR only to see the AI shift him right to the bullpen the following season without giving him a chance in the rotation. This seems to happen a lot with stud SP's who get signed to long term deals at age 30+.
