Does AI change Primary Position?

toptiger · 07-18-2002, 09:55 PM

I've searched through various threads to find an answer to the
subject question and it appears that the the AI does initiate
primary position changes --- I found in my league that the AI apparently changed Homer Bush from 2B to DH as it demoted him from the active roster to AAA --- is this a change that the AI logic could do? I thought I might have done it by accedent.

does anyone have any information on how the AI logic works for these AI primary position changes --- if in fact the AI does initiate these changes?

Also, could the AI change him back to 2B as needed per the AI logic?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I believe that the only time it makes changes to human owned teams in this way is if you run "auto-lineup" for minors or you are allowing the computer to manage the minors for you.

Thanks Steve!

I have all the teams managed by the computer. It's a great idea to have the AI make these changes --- just as a human manager may do --- it's fun to see the program making these kind of changes to try to improve the team and better utilize players ---why not make Homer Bush a DH in AAA when you have top prospects and/or better performing players for his primary position?

This is such a great game!!!

Thanks again Steve for your prompt reply!

It changed Alvaro Espinoza in one of my leagues from a SS to 3B, and actually changed Pat Tabler while I was testing my DB from 1B to LF to 3B over the course of 4 seasons...

This is a cool function that really helps when there is plethora of minor leaguers at a given position.

Of course, better/more strategic drafting on my part wouldn't hurt either.
