Auto-Sort Before Spring Training

[mattynokes]

I've meant to bring this up time and time again. With simming opening day, it's reminded me...

I think we need to start Auto-Sort ALL teams before the Spring Training sim. If you post a lineup, it won't hurt anything. But for those who forget or can't submit a lineup for ST or Sim #1, it will mean you won't get the wonky Mogul lineups.

In addition, I feel Andy should change the League Settings to +100% Platoon and -100% Stats. As it stand in FCM when you click Auto-Sort, both settings are at 0%. Mogul simply will not platoon as it should. With the settings I've proposed, your lefty bat that can't hit LHP should be on the bench. Your righty bat that crushes LHP should be seen as a great platoon candidate and start vs LHP.

I think this is a no-brainer to help teams get of on the right foot at the start of the season, rather than a woopsy-daisy and you're starting some 60's overalls or some lefty bats that have no business hitting LHPs.

Auto sort 100% -- helps out teams who are AFK

works for me

[mike]

makes sense.

[mzylinski]

Yup

As for the league settings, I'm in if it doesn't cause problems. I'm sure you'll test everything out and whatnot.

As it stands now...

0% Platoon - Mogul will give no more or less platoons than it normally does.

0% Stats (vs Scouting) - Mogul will use MLB stats no more or less than it does when considering Scouting (Scouting = Vitals)

These two go hand-in-hand. By make Stats (vs Scouting) -100%, it will make Mogul auto-sort lineups based on Vitals. By Platoons going to +100%, Mogul is more likely to have lefty bats sit vs RHP.

I like it - provided it works

For the record, I did the auto-sort this year. And Sim 5 will reflect the other suggestions.
