An easier way to make a double switch

[drksd4848]

This is something that NO baseball simulators have (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong)

One click double switch. Hit the button, a dialog box pops up with three drop down menus. One for a relief pitcher, one for your bench, one for the slot you want the pitcher to go. The batter is automatically placed in the pitchers slot (P).

Trying to think this through on the fly... How else should it look or, what else should it have?

Good idea.

That would be nifty.

And the last thing it would do... The new batter would automatically take the fielding position of the batter that the pitcher replaces.

So say, you decide to bring in a relief pitcher. The pitcher in the game is due to lead off in the next half inning, (and assuming the pitcher is in the 9th slot in the batting order). You want the relief pitcher to bat in the 8th slot currently held by the right fielder.

Click on the double switch button. The dialog box appears.

1. Select the relief pitcher you want in the game.

2. Next, select the spot in the lineup you want the relief pitcher to hit.

In this case the 8th hole, replacing the right fielder

3. Select the player on the bench you want in the line up.

Voila! The new pitcher goes into the 8th hole. The batter goes into the 9th hole automatically playing Right field

If you wanted to do something a little more complex, like move the left fielder to right field, move the second baseman to left field, then have the new batter go to second base, you could still do it the old fashioned drag and drop method.

High Heat had a Double Switch button. OOTP would be better with it or with how you suggested it.
