Thanks Lukas! This has never been something that was happening ever until this version 26. I have been playing since the very first version and creating players and leagues for on-line historical and historical/fiction leagues since V7.

It's never happened before that a player who was primarily something else came in as a DH, like Catfish Hunter a HoF pitcher being listed as DH.

I have a long running league that I use the import from a text file created through the major and minor league database to bring in historical rookies each season. I've done the same thing now for 20 versions and this is the first time that all 1,104 players were ALL created as a DH.

I submitted that same thread seperately. I'm concerned because I have tested forward several months and done 6 manual re-scouts and they are still showing as DH, even though the have position ratings based on historical statistics. I use career for that purpose, first time this has ever happened.

It's these kinds of things and then throw in the V25 development cliff that was destroying players careers by age 23-27 that the 70-80 guys I know through 5 on-line leagues are all questioning what the heck is going on.

Thank you for taking the time!
