Player Strategy Tab - Force Role

My apologies if this has been suggested before. I did not see it anywhere.

If you look at the Player Strategy Tab for a hitter, you will find that it is possible to force the AI to use/start a player at any of the fielding positions and at the DH spot in the lineup. This is quite useful when playing as "GM only" to move a player where you want him to be. In addition, you can force that player's spot in the lineup if you so desire. This is an amazing feature and I hope it never goes away in OOTP.

My suggestion concerns the Strategy Tab for pitchers. There is a force role option, but it is severely limited in options. You can force a player as a Starter, a reliever, a closer, and that's it.

There is no way to have a stopper unless you play as manager and GM and set everything yourself. My experience is the AI manager has no concept of a stopper.

My suggestion is to add all possible pitching roles to the Force Role menu. In addition, it would be really cool if all 5 rotation positions could be in this menu as well, maybe listed as S1, S2, etc.

This would be a huge upgrade to the GM only play style.
