NEW Defensive Sub Question

I thought I had a nice plan going into the season, with both Shane Victorino and Mike Cameron, both "1's" in CF. Victorino's starts, and I list him as my defensive replacement in RF, since he's also a "1" there, and have Cameron listed as my replacement in CF. That way, I should end up with "1's" in both places. But HAL repeatedly subs Cameron for Victorino, as if anyone would actually remove a "1" fielder with a late-inning lead, and then puts a backup infielder in RF. Anyone with any advice on how I can get both my "1's" on the field at the same time?

I've used this strategy on teams as well. This is what you need to do, at least from my experience:

Defensive Sub 1- Cameron CF
Defensive Sub 2- Victorino RF

Thanks. Maybe that's the problem--I had Victorino to RF 1st, then Cameron to CF 2nd..

Helpful Hint:

On a defensive double-switch list the player "not" in the L/U first, the player already "in" the L/U second.

Thanks, guys. Switching the order worked.

That's good to know--thanks. I've always just checked the "Remove for defensive sub with lead" box for the guy I want to be taken out and let HAL figure out the rest. My way usually works, but your way gives better control.
