  Make it so that players can be thrown out trying to go from 1st to 3rd on a single, from 2nd to Home on a Single, and from 1st to Home on a Double. Also, make it so batters are occassionally thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, a double into a triple, or a triple into a home run.

  Allow managers to set preferences on how aggressive they want to be in these situations, depending on runner speed, game situation, and outfielder arm (similar to basestealing prefs).

  Currently, the game only allows runners to tag up on a fly ball when they're trying to score from third. It shouldn't be that complicated to allow runners to move from second to third when there is a long fly ball to right or center. I've posted this idea before and it had a fair amount of support, but it was closed because the moderator says that it was a duplicate of this idea below.

  These are clearly separate ideas.

  Any chance a situational bunting feature could be added to the game? As it is only pitchers can bunt. But there are times when having a position player being able to bunt would make sense.

  I'm not sure what the options would/should be but the inning, the score and the batter's bunting rating would seem like logical filters, at a minimum.

  And adding something like this would add at least some value to the bunting rating each position player has (which I believe is a useless field at this time).

  Add some manager prefs to pitch around or intentionally walk certain batters. Maybe something like this:

  In the _____ Inning or later, if the (Tieing/Winning) run is in scoring position and first base is open, (Pitch Around|Intentionally Walk|Pitch Normally) to the batter if he is (Much Better, Somewhat Better, At All Better) than the hitter On Deck.

  I've had a few guys on my team that have been terrible vs Righty bats but almost un-hitable vs Lefties. This would make the bullpen option a little more realistic. With the option of bringing in "Lefty Specialists" you could have them face after _____ innings in the game and they can stay against Righty's if their C/R is lower than ___/___.

  Add another attribute for batters called Plate Discipline or Eye. This would completely govern how many walks a player got from a batter's perspective. It would also be the main factor for strikeouts, along with contact, maybe at a 70/30 ratio.

  This might be an option for leagues to turn on/off. And old players simply would not have this attribute. If Abe encounters a player without this attribute, he would use the old formula for determining batter outcomes.

  Currently on the trade desk, after a trade is no longer active, you can save the trades that you have sent out to other teams however you can't see the trades that have come in to you. It would be nice to have the ability to see trades that have been sent TO you after they're not active as well as those you've sent out.

  Implement a change whereas a manager can choose to rest a player while on the 4th (yellow) bar. The player would be available to 'pinch-hit', but he would be fully rested for the next game. In contrast to having to completely miss a game while on red.

  This may be a bit more realistic for very good hitters, who sometimes pinch-hit on their rest days......

  Double Switch (suggested by Chessmyantidrug)

  1) A pitcher replaces a position player who will not be at bat soon, and 2) a position player replaces the former pitcher. The reason for this tactic is that a player must bat in the same spot in the batting lineup as the player he replaces.

  Chessmyantidrug:

  In one of my recent games in one league, my closer ended up coming in to pitch during the eighth inning. It was a three-run game when he came in, allowed a hit and induced a double play facing only two batter. ABE sent in a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning and brought in the next reliever in line (Middle Relief A) for the save in the ninth.

  In real life, the manager would have done a double switch when bringing in the closer so he would be the ninth hitter due up the next half inning. I don't want to begin thinking how much of a programming nightmare it would be to allow for double switches.

  I have my preferences set to always pinch-hit for a reliever in the 7th inning or later if there's another RP available in the bullpen. I propose we add an option: "unless closer is pitching in a save situation." If there's already a way to accomplish this, let me know.

  As far as I know, as it stands now, the current system considers 200 1/3 IP for an OS25 pitcher the same as riding him for 265IP, with a set value for health points lost. This would make there be alot of difference, with 203IP only costing that pitcher maybe 1 or 2 health points, where as 250 IP would cost something between 15 and 25 health points (all arbitrarty numbers).

  Again, not my idea, this came up in one of the older podcasts, but, I felt it should be on here.

  EDIT: I'm changing my mind on the formula here. 50+(endurance*2)=maximum IP before health decrease. It adds more value to guys with high endurance ratings - and makes owners think twice about putting young starters with high endurance in the 'pen. The guy could be good for 226IP without a health deduction.

  Upgrade the home page to more cleanly display site news items. Also, add a section which would list all your teams and provide alerts for different things.

  Here are the alerts I am thinking about:

  - Unread Trade Offer

  - Completed Trade in the last 24 hours

  - Too many players in the majors

  - Too many players in the minors

  - Injured player not on DL who is hurt for more than 15 days

  - Healthy player is on the DL and can be brought back

  - League is in between Regular Season and Playoffs and team is in the playoffs

  - Draft class was populated in the last 24 hours

  When your team is out of position players due to injury or rest, the system will put a pitcher in the field to fill out the lineup. When this happens, the boxscore incorrectly lists the pitcher in the pitcher section of the boxscore.

  Somewhere on the game site there should be a list of key dates for the league. When possible, times should be given.

  For Trial Leagues, this would be:

  Initial Draftee Population

  Initial Draft

  First Game of Season

  Amateur Draft

  OffSeason

  League Delete

  For Private/Speed Leagues:

  First Game of Season

  Expansion Draft

  Amateur Draft

  OffSeason

  I tried to include everything that could be programmatically displayed to the league.

  For Dynasty Leagues, this would be tough to do because everything is scheduled manually.

  Have a page where you can view the top 5 or 10 leaders in each category in each league.

  Like the top 5 in HR, BA, RBI, Steals etc and Wins, ERA, K's, WHIP etc.

  It would be like the page in the papers where they show all the league leaders in one spot. And have it split for the NL/AL

  I know we have the league leaders section but it is awkard to use and takes too many clicks and its not all in one place.

  Something like this minus phots;
