It honestly feels like this shouldn't be hard. In the lineup selection screen, they could just toss in the pitchers on the bench, similar to how they handle it when you are using a pinch-hitter. At that point, you just plug in your pitcher where you want him (in this case, DH).

Just like every year, Texas.

Brewers seem to be the darling team this year. Marlins would be fun to see if a rebuild can happen. Pirates are a fresh start with some useful pieces plus PNC Park. Fun thing is there are so many free agents still so in the next couple weeks another team could jump out as a front runner to run a franchise with.



Gotta love Baseball!

Yanks like every year. I am excited to hopefully use Torres, Andujar, and Austin, and obviously Severino and Judge this year.

That’s what I would think too. It seems like a simple solution to me. But I don’t expect it this year honestly. I think they’ll give the wait and see approach and see if Ohtani actually hits well. (Which I’m pretty confident he will.) Last year during the dev streams, Ramone responded to a question about two way players and the asker mentioned in particular Christian Bethancourt (who the Padres tried to use as a two way early last year) and Shohei Ohtani (who we’ve known was going to come over as a two way player for at least 3 years). Ramone’s response was something along the lines of ‘No we won’t work on that unless it’s more than just one or two players.’ So, I think Ohtani is going to have to force their hand by being at least an average MLB hitter. That being said, Bethancourt is a catcher/OF trying to be a pitcher. So that’s probably harder to do than just letting a pitcher hit.

the only way we are gonna get around the Otani thing is create 2 of him and sacrifice a roster spot

heres a thought though your carry over saves will be useless for the Angels because you won't be able to have Otani as both position player and pitcher because it wouldn't carry over

Always the twins.

Nl team I’m not sure yet. Have it between giants, brewers, and marlins.

Yankees, as always.

But I'll do a test Franchise with an NL team as I wait for OSFM. Probably the Brewers or Giants.
