Do You Have 2 Way Players But Nowhere To Play Them?

The Game · 08-06-2018, 05:36 PM

In both my EBL and ABF league i have a few 2 way players on my teams but nowhere to play them at. For my Chicago Sox I am basically a Knuckleballer on steroids but i also use my offensive stats from my EBL league but with bad defense. So i am limited to DH and some backup 1B. I signed a C/DH thgis past offseason who is among teh best hitters in the league and i have a 2nd year Frank Thomas at 1B.
For my Willowbrook Warriors I have 2 career .300 hitting SP (From my High Heat days) who can also DH but i have 2 1B on my team (basically a left handed Frank Tomas and switch hitting Paul Konerko circa 2000) so I have no where to play those 2 SP either.

I got this guy in a trade during the last offseason. I wasn't even sure if he'd make the team when I traded for him but his ratings improved quite a bit and now I have what seems to be a stud SP/1B/DH but no room to start him in the lineup since I already have a lefty first baseman and only get to use a DH when we play in AL parks.

With 2 Way Player checked does he automatically show up as a 1B. Myself doesnt show up in my batters screen. In my EBL league the 2 pitchers both do but i had signed both after being released and both had over 25 AB's prior to being released.

Not sure what you mean by that. It depends how you have him set. He can either be as he is in the 1st picture or the 2nd picture I posted. So in the first, he shows in the lineup screen as a pitcher but if you set him as a 1st baseman instead then he'll show on the pitching screen as a first baseman. He's available for both roles either way. I normally have him set as a SP since he's in the rotation and this is how he shows up on my lineup screen.

My SP, myself, doesnt up on the batters screen.

On his profile page, next to the action button. Is there an option to switch him to an offensive position?

Your player could be decent at RF or LF. He just needs the experience.

On his player strategy page do you have it checked that he is a two-way player? If so he should show up both in your list of pitchers and list of hitters.

is that only when pitching or no matter what he does that particular game? (devil's advocate, not curious for the answer, maybe it helps or not)

Even when hes not starting i can even use him as a PH. If i want to use him as a DH I have to drag him from the pitching side.
