Suggestion for OOTP: Auto DL & Call up's

I love OOTP and have been playing since '10 and it gets better every year.

One aspect of the game that has been frustrating in the online league aspect is the disabled list. Most of the online leagues I'm in sim 7 days at a time which works flawlessly with the 7 day line-ups. The only problem with it is if one of your guys goes down on the first day of the sim, you're playing a man down for an entire week which rarely happens in reality. You might be without a guy a day or two but other than that, pro teams are able to get a new guy in there before a week has gone by.

I think a cool feature to add to the game would be some sort of automatic DL & call up option. Keep it optional so people don't have to set it up. Sort of like how with the auto-sim you can set how many days a player needs to be injured in order to stop your sim. You should be able to set how many days a player will be on the DL before you automatically send him there.

Then for the call up portion, maybe have like a call up depth chart of the top 3 pitchers you'd want called up or the top 3 hitters you'd want called up once a player was sent to the DL, that way if you're #1 pitcher just pitched yesterday and you had a pitcher go down, it would choose your #2 who was more rested to come to the rescue.

I think a feature like this would really help a lot of the GMs who like to micro-manage their teams and wouldn't really effect the GMs who don't.

Wrong forum, but I like this idea. Obviously early-sim injuries can ruin a team, though some long-running leagues such as CDL have seen emergency starters turn in great performances.
