This one might just be the best of all.V.Martinez started at C,Youkilis at 1B,Cano at 2B.Cano gets hurt in top of third.Bottom of third Hal subs Renteria for Cano(OK with this since I have no backup 2B on squad,keeper league mind you).In his ultimate wisdom Hal then subs Youkilis at C and then move V.Martinez fro behind the plate and puts him on 1B.This stayed that way until the 8th inning when he brought in Hernandez to catch and sent Youk back to 1B,and I STILL won the game

Hmm, that IS interesting. It has something to do with Victor Martinez being a rather terrible defender behind the plate - of course not as bad as Youkilis, a non-catcher, and therein lies the problem - but that's what it appears to be related to. I should have a patch for this implemented by the next time I do a code update.

Thanks.
