Just a couple of bugs I thought I'd point out.

I have a pitcher who has pretty good batter ratings, and it would be useful if I could use him as a pinch-hitter when needed. The problem I encoutered was when I tried to use him to pinch hit for another pitcher already in the game. First off, it automatically put the pinch-hitting pitcher in to pitch, which I don't necessarily want to do (I just want him to hit). Secondly, it didn't even let him hit. Although he was slated to be hitting in the current pitcher's batting slot, the other pitcher still got the at bat and then the pinch hitting pitcher replaced him subsequently.

The other bug I noticed was in regards to the designated for assignment addition. I had a player there that needed to clear waivers before he was able to be sent down to the minors, but I clicked on the Auto-manage minor league button, and the game sent him to the minors without having to clear waivers.

Just thought I'd point them out.

First one isn't a "bug" but currently a game limitation.

The second issue is on the DFA FAQ, so (hopefully) we can assume it's a known issue. Good catch, though.
