For example, I imagine this option being added to the hitter preferences where you could indicate that a given right-handed batter be lifted if he is facing a right-handed reliever whose balance rating equals or exceeds 3R. This functionality would really be valuable when facing a reverse reliever, like Tyler Matzek (8R), so that you could elect to insert a left-handed PH against the lefty rather than default to a right-handed bat or switch hitter.
Not a bad suggestion, but it would obviously have to be disabled in mystery leagues since it could be too obvious of a tell which year a pitcher has.
