So, how does this work? I have some brittle guys in my lineup, Polanco, Hafner and Berkman. When I have a big lead, I want to pull them out to minimize the risk of injuries. I have remove for defensive sub with lead but I am not seeing these guys pulled. What’s up with that?

I guess I have some questions;

Will Hal remove a DH? That’s where I have Hafner.

Does the player coming in, actually have to have a better defensive rating?

Should the defensive subs not have the avoid XHP boxes checked?

What makes this work?

Thanks

Are these defensive subs listed in the managerial settings?

hey Visick,

How are you? Getting excited about the new SOM 07 season? Do you play other fant6asy games? I think I will buy 5 SOM 07 teams to start. I also bought the book.

Anyway, except for the DH setting, I do have things set in the managerial settings.

Thanks

Steve

there is also a setting on the individual player's card..."remove for defensive sub with lead"...

click that, and set the managerial settings to include the defensive sub, and you're in business...

That's why it is puzzling.

Hi sponedal,

I think the score has to be close. 1 run for the sub to come in? Not sure maybe someone else will have more info, but I am pretty sure the score comes into play.

I don't think HAL will remove a DH using the defensive settings.

HAL may also override the settings if the replacement is worse defensively than what you have in the lineup.

I can't think of any other way to get your injury prone starters out of the lineup, though.

It can't be the DH & the lead has to be 3 runs or less, otherwise HAL thinks it's not worth it because you're blowing the other guy out.
