What I would like to see in up coming version....

A) More stat tracking from past seasons. Things like Catchers % caught stealing are not viewable from past seasons. If it tracks it for one season, why can't we track it for a career?

B) Ability to hire managers at the major league level. We play the roll of GM, it would be a great online option to have individual manager tendencies rather then setting team strategies yourself. You don't want your team to steal so much? Fire your manager and bring in another guy who is more conservative. Different managers have quick hooks/slow hooks would be nice to hire/fire your managers to suit your teams. Could also impliment the short 'boost' firing your manager can cause a strugling team, or vise versa if your team is playing well and the skipper gets canned.

C) More strategy options. Right now I have a player 5avg, 9hrs vs lefties, and 0avg 3hrs vs righties. NO WAY IN HELL he should get a single AB vs a right handed pitcher, yet he still picks up 50-100AB per season as my platoon catcher. Would be nice to be able to have an "always PH for vs righties" option.

D) Why not have speed a time from home to 1st? Instead of A,B,C,D,E a player is a 3.9, 4.1, 4.5 etc etc. Stealing could be a %. So instead of a Ricky Henderson being an A/A, he would be a 3.9, 76%. There is no debating that it is realistic. This is exactly as precise as the numbers any real life scout/coach will come up with.

E) Pitch by Pitch is good, or perhaps if we still have 1 pitch mode have an option of Stealing if the count goes to 1-2, or pitch out on a 2-1 count.

F)I'd like to be able to set the ratings as precise or vague as I like. The hits rating could be shown as 'Good', or 6, or .297 depending on how the league is set up.

Ummm....I got more idea's but no more time....
