Garlon: I've heard the same thing said about lineups before. It doesn't matter who bats where. I keep thinking: What would Tony LaRussa say about that?
It's not a big deal, I know, but using a "most common lineups" file would prevent the occasionally head-scratcher. I mean, should Darrell Porter, the catcher, be leading off? The AI might think so, but if I'm interested in replaying the 1974 season, I may recoil when I see Porter batting lead off for Milwaukee. It just "seems" right when an OOTP historical lineup matches its real life counterpart. I think that counts for something. It enhances the "immersion" effect. I suppose the same could be said for transaction files and as-played lineups. It would be up the user, though, to decide which, if any, of these options to choose. For some people, it matters; for others, it does not. (Plus, these options might help OOTP attract people who play SOM, APBA, Action, etc.)
