Here is another issue. In higher cap leagues, coaches bring in a defensive replacement at catcher with a much stronger arm. The steal ratings are generic. So if I set my steal ratings at aggressive, before the series and the starting catcher has an arm of 0 or -1, I hope my runners take advantage of that. However, when IROD or Elston Howard come into the game for defensive help, now my aggressive rating has my baserunners, running into outs. I also make use of the hitting preference and tell HAL to steal more with A, AA, and B basestealers.
And for that matter, when I do start a left handed SP, or bring in a lefty reliever and now IROD or Elston Howard come into the game, again, my baserunners are at jeopardy. In a three game series, and one sets the preferences there is no room for a change of lineups that would hurt my offensive team.
