Pinch Hit for Pitchers: Very Often
Pinch Hit for Position Players: Normal
Defensive Substitutions: Normal
Stealing Bases: Normal
Hit & Run: Very Rarely
Bunting: Normal

Reasoning behind these settings:

You need Relievers and Closers and Pinch Hit for Pitchers all set to Very Often in order to get the most realistic bullpen usage. Pitcher Enurance also needs to be set to Very Low because we havea modifier in the game for SP Endurance, so by setting it to Very Low has no impact on SP's but it will impact the Relievers. If you don't set Endurance to Very Low you will have individual relievers throwing way too many innings.

We have Modifiers for Stealing and Bunting, so regardless of the setting the Modifier will make up for it. It is best to leave these at Normal.

Hit & Run should be set to Very Rarely because at higher levels this tends to add more runs scored to the league. You wll get the most realistic Runs Scored per Game results by keeping this on Very Rarely in all seasons.
Do you still recommend these settings, Garlon? Or have you made recent changes to them?
