Don't won't to hijack your thread and get it off subject... ignore my comment if needed.

Is it me... or in general is the AI just plain bad with roster management?

I stopped using the minor leagues long ago because the stats were not realistic compared to real life... 2006, I think was the last year... (I'm sure the AI is better now).

Players with good stats not promoted... poor players promoted.

In detail situations, I have seen it pinch hit for Ty Cobb in one of my leagues, replacing him with a right-hand hitter to face a lefty... the pinch hitter was batting .250... Cobb hit over .350 against lefties in my league.

It platoons too much... often it will platoon a player that is far better than the sub... the AI is fanatical about lefty/righty situations.

Another pet peeve, the AI is slow to retire aging players.

Again... if this is not on subject... ignore me.
