NYN All-Star Mogul
I have lost games due to late inning errors from defensive replacements. At first, I thought that it was just a coincidence, until I looked into the replacements. Here is an example of a recent replacement:
LF Starter Ben Grieve .974 +1%
LF Defensive Replacement Delino DeShields .947 -61%
I have also had defensive replacements who rate C D- D in the fielding catagories.
I think the reason for some of the bad replacements is that I have 2 players who are technically out of position, but Kendall has been playing 3B for 3 seasons, and Grieve is listed at RF but playing in LF.
I think that we should have the ability to limit or eliminate defensive replacements if they are hurting our team. I have heard the arguements that some owners don't want to control these types of factors. To these owners, I say don't. Leave them all at the default. But those of us whose teams are being hurt should have the ability to stop the bleeding.
