Nice summary. You guys are going to think that I am dumb but what I haven gotten into doing is allowing the AI to control my lineups and pitching staff during ST (I am in control at all other times) to see what it would do. Where would it position players; what lineups and rotations would it use? I get some helpful suggestions that way. If I want to force a player to be used at a certain position, I mandate it with player strategy. And I don't zip through ST every time; sometimes I will stop and fine tune priorities.
