Depth chart issue

rleb · 09-15-2016, 02:58 PM

Hi guys,

Not 100% sure if it is a bug or not, but...

I have a 4th outfielder who moonlights as a DH. In past versions, I could list him as both DH, and list him as a backup outfielder in case of injury.

In 17, If he is listed as starting DH, I cannot list him anywhere else on the depth chart.

This is an issue especially considering our team is part of an online league, and if an injury occurs with several days still to advance, lineups can get very wonky if there isn't a clear backup person that is intended to take his place.

Is there a way around this? Thanks guys!

There's a button on the lineup page "sync lineups with depth charts". If you un-select that, then you can place a guy as a backup in one spot and a starter in another.
