Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I just went through almost a whole season w/ a pitcher who I dropped before the season started as my first choice on the pitcher prefs for LH specialist...

this is not a conspiracy theory thread - I had selected him early in the pre-season, but dropped him before the season opener, so i know how it happened: it was my forgetfulness at the root... but my question is:

does anyone know what HAL decides to do in those cases? I am looking through the replays now... to try to figure it out, but input from someone who knows would be interesting and appreciated.

cheers.


p.s. also this is NOT a whining thread - I am in the playoffs if the season ended tonight w/ games against my division left in a 12-team league so I am in about as good a position as can be expected.

The situation with the dropped pitchers still taking a slot in the pitcher prefs has been discussed. Theoretically, you could fill all the slots, replace your entire bullpen, and have all the dropped guys still there.

As far as what HAL does, I suspect he'd have to ignore the slot that has a guy no longer on your roster. I have no proof of this, just a supposition.

If you find a way to draft Sutter, set him up as a closer, drop him, and still have him pitch for you, please let me know how via a private message.

As far as I've seen, this doesn't happen at all with hitters, any lineup, PH, or PR slots go blank when they are dropped.

Hope this helps a little.

as i recall, the best thing is to draft Sutter, trade him to the Cardinals, then pickup Sandberg,

but you have to sub for Durham in game 5 of the semi's
