Just a couple of Qs.
Did I read somewhere that now you can get the pitcher warming up in the bullpen to sit down if he starts to get tired.
If so finally the bullpen coach have stopped reading the comic pages and monitor his job ;-)

However no improvement in the manager department for historical feeling. I barked about this sometime and think that playing historical with coaches doesn't really keep up with the rest of the game.

My problem is that ONLY the present real life managers for those teams starting are in the game.
Like in the future you start this year and lets say Joe Girardi sat out the year without managing any team he will be lost and not in the free managers for you to sign if playing as a GM.
Instead the free coaches/managers have all kinds of strange nationality. I have hard to see Asian managers getting hired in MLB during the 60-70-80's, but there is a lot of them in the game.
Similar starting in 1997 will miss Buck Showalter.
These managers are in some DB since they pop up with correct win-loss and years managing so they should be able to at least be imported by hand.
This last stuff having manager imported would perhaps solve any issue like this. Later on in your game you can import newly hired "rookie"managers to make your game much more realistic IMHO.
