Bold players in Options & Preview lineup

Hi!
Can someone explain me why there are some player names in bold in the lineup preview before each game?
Thank you.

I don't have any players in my shortlist.
I mean, their stats are bold like .360/.433/.600
I also noticed both leadoff players are in navy bold...any explanation why they are bold and all the other players are not?

I think what the game is doing is highlighting interesting stats pertaining to the upcoming game. Take a look at this screen print, for example.

First of all, the bolded names themselves are just the guys due to bat next; i.e., lead off in this case. The A's Bauer has his Away stats highlighted as well because they're pretty darned good so far. However, he's not done so well against Graham, the opposing pitcher, and the game is pointing that out, too.

On the other hand, the A's Davis has clobbered Graham in the past, which is why only those stats are bolded. His .212 Away batting average is nothing to be proud of, so it is not bolded.

Garcia of the Yankees hits pretty well at Home but is hitless against Wright, the starting pitcher for the A's.

You get the idea of what I am saying. See if it holds true to your own games. If somebody is hitting .360/.433/.600 on the road or at home, I would expect that to be bolded so as to be noticeable.

Ok, that was helpful.
Thank you.
I will take notice of the bold stats now.

You're welcome. Yes, they can be helpful; for example, in the upcoming game, I will manage Mr. Graham to be very careful with Mr. Davis!
