I'm with you on the L/R thing. I just don't get it. Particularly when we don't even have the option of playing with fictional players, what this means is that if Jesse Orosco pitches 50 innings with a 2.00 ERA, in the game you'd be able to use him in 50 1-inning appearances like a normal reliever, when in real life, he probably would pitch in 90 games to get those 50 innings, and only face lefties.

Even if I'm simming on a global level and not playing/watching each game, I still want the game to approximate real baseball, and right or wrong, lefty/righty matchups are a very real part of the game.
