oh..and one more reason is because if you allow the AI manager on your team to set lineups and depth charts, it's fairly easy to see weather or not a prospect/young player is any good or not. You can tell by the way (or not) the AI will play them. If you go out and get (what you and your scout think) a great young pitching prospect, and then put him on the active roster only to have the AI manager refuse to put him in the rotation because it thinks a reliever is actually better suited, you can guess the player is a dud. I sometimes even wonder if the manager/staff strategy preferences are even taken into consideration when the AI chooses a lineup. Perhaps that is why the AI is better in this version when it comes to choosing lineups...it doesn't use them...although if true, this takes away a lot of immersion, and the feeling that each manager is different with unique attributes.
