I'm 100% against it....I guess it's just a difference of gaming styles- but there is no way you can argure that this resembles the actual game of baseball in any way, shape, or form. We can agree that it may be hard to model- but I can't understand those that defend it on the premise that it's a better way to play.

It's only "peeking ahead" in terms of probable performance on the field, by using the ratings for the players. A human player can do the same thing, but we'd typically rather actually see a player suck on the field before we pull him, rather than see his ratings drop first and not let him back on the field.
