Do I have this correct?

- BM06 players will perform differently based on the handedness of their opposing pitcher/hitter
Yes.

- For real players imported into the game from a database, this "split" will be a constant
Yes, due to the fact that the Lahman database does not provide l/r split stats.

Quote:
- For fictional players generated in the game, this "split" will be a variable
At this point, no, both due to some research that may indicate it may not matter, and (in my opinion) a slight developer bias toward historical vs. future/fictional.

Quote:
- Despite this, the game does not allow a team to set different lineups based on the handedness of the pitcher
Correct.

Quote:
- Nor does the game allow any sort of pitcher specializtion (a slot especially to face batters of certain handedness)
Correct. Game logs are not being generated in the beta, so at this point we can't tell whether or not the AI handles this well.
