2-Way Players By Default

I am trying to create a fictional league where the majority of players are 2-way players. I can see where you can allow 2-way players, but my observations are that the AI generates less than 1% of rookies as 2-way players.

AFAIK, there isn't a way to force the system to create more 2-way players; its programmed to create a nominal amount because that most mirrors real life. Even in the early days of baseball, 2-way players were rare. They get a lot of publicity because of Babe Ruth pitching in his early days, but he was still more the exception than the rule.

So, if you want a greater # of two way players, you'll have to undertake the task of creating them yourself. Depending on how many you want, this can be kind of fun as you mold your players to your liking!
