Hitter to Pitcher....

I'd like to see maybe some of the rookies have talent for both hitting and batting....... some players start off as batters and end up as great pitchers.....it would be a great addition to the game....you would have to decide where you think he'll turn out better....

That would be nice, and vice-versa. Look at Babe Ruth. He starts as a pitcher, and that's not what he's in the HOF for.

I've manually created guys like that. I certainly wouldn't want them to come around too often, but they're nice once in a while.

I'm too lazy to create guys manually - except myself.

I've actually had a few guys generated in OOTP4 that had some talent in both areas. They were never particularly good at both, but one of them did become useful as a hitter. Never tried pitching him much over AA ball.
