Some good points....just a few thoughts....
Aren't baserunners held by default?.... I've always thought that the "hold runner" option is the equivalent of the pitcher slide-step.
Regarding the pitcher tiring, I like having to keep an eye on velocity/location to get early warning signs rather than waiting for the OK/Tired message.
Having just lost a 1-0 game against the AI when the lead-off hitter bunted for a hit, stole second, went to third on an error and scored on a flyball I can vouch for the fact that bunt hit attempts can be successful (don't ya just love the deadball era!!)
Could you not play out the all-star game in commissioner mode?
