Development needs to be based on AB/IP rather than primary positional rating.
This would also allow for "dual" players to be created - as the in-game engine can now handle this (I think - positional players on the field changing to pitcher like any other defensive position) - it's only a matter of the development/rating part catching up.

The engine can't handle it yet. I created a two-way player and tried to see what would happen with him, and on the days when he pitched, if it was a non-dh league he would occupy two spots in the batting order, and if it was a dh league there wouldn't be that problem, but the computer still wanted him in two positions when playing defense. I'm pretty sure the only way it could be made to work is to personally manage every game for the team.
Have people simming 1919 with Ruth noticed this?
