Rotating DH option in depth chart

[tgreitsma]

I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest this, but with full-time DHs going extinct over time, I'd love to see a rotating DH option.

Something where you could leave the DH blank in the depth chart or select "rotating" and then you could rotate certain players in and out of the position. Maybe you could do this through a player's strategy page and have an option like "rotate to DH every Xth game."

I'm aware you can do this through the daily lineups, but I control all 30 (32 in my league) teams and that would be a hell of an ordeal.

Seconded!

You can do this with the depth charts for six players (3 RH and 3 LH). Make sure you set the backups of the positions being vacated to the same playing time frequency.

Does it automatically align though? I guess I haven't dug into individual boxscores too much when I sim.

In my experience, as long as the schedules align across the positions, the AI handles it automatically.

Say you want you starting left fielder to DH every five days. It only works if you set him as the back DH with play every 5 games AND ALSO set your backup left fielder to start in left field every five games. If you only set DH, it doesn't work.

Aha, thanks.
