Depth Chart Subbing Question

Willie M · 04-05-2020, 05:20 PM

If I have 4 infielders and want to split their work equally, is this how I would setup my depth chart?

Starter at 2B - Backup starts every 2nd game
Starter at 3B - Backup starts every 3rd game
Starter at SS - Backup starts every 4th game

Or would I set every position to "every second game" and let AI figure it out?

I've wondered this, too. It seems to me that in your example, there would be some confusion between 2B and SS - every other time, the backup would technically be slated to start at both positions.

Ideally, I think you'd want to set each at "Start Every 4th Game" because then each of the starters are playing 3/4 games, as is the backup. I've done something similar (though my SS was better than the other 3 so I didn't want him benched that much) and the playing time seemed to work out well.
