All I ask is that another option be added to the choices of splits or traditional - to block players from playing positions they are not rated for - a sweeter option would be to set a threshold of the rating that keeps a player from playing a position they are barely qualified for - wait - I am becoming a font of ideas...

How about an option to set a threshold for being a starter and another one for being a substititute?

What do you think????

What era were you playing where a player had 7 errors in one game? Some would think that was common depending on when it was. i have had to use players out of position when managing a game due to injury , extra inning games, not being able to us a 1B who has range even if a left handed fielding 1B would put me at a disadvantage and in some ways would not seem true to life. Sure it doesn't happen often to see Mark Grace at 2B but it could happen.
Also wouldn't your way prevent a 3B/SS from playing 1B or 2B? My starting 2B is injured so I am putting a guy in at 2B, already committed an error, because he can hit and the backup has played for 9 straight games and is at 85%.
