Some stupid questions from a no-DH rookie:

Does HAL automatically have the pitcher bunt in typical sacrifice situations?

Will HAL do a double-switch when it looks logical?

Any other hints/observations?

Thanks.

HAL will have the pitcher bunt. Be careful with the manager settings, though. (Setting to conservative or extra conservative might affect this.)

HAL will also use double switches on occasion, but maybe not as often as you'd like. Double-switches will happen with a little more frequency than in the DH game, maybe once or twice every 10 games. And sometimes you won't like the double-switch. HAL doesn't give a poop about defense...he'll move players around to effect the double-switch.
