Hudson_Vasquez Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I am in a dynasty and I noticed something. I have my starting 2nd baseman sit out every fifth game and he is complaining about a lack of playing time! Why is this? Does he really have to play every single game? Also, how do I appease relievers? How do I convince them that they don't pitch every game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krawhitham Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Also, how do I appease relievers? How do I convince them that they don't pitch every game? let them spot start every once in a while, works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasutra Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I am in a dynasty and I noticed something. I have my starting 2nd baseman sit out every fifth game and he is complaining about a lack of playing time! Why is this? Does he really have to play every single game? Also, how do I appease relievers? How do I convince them that they don't pitch every game? for both questions... sometimes this works: change their starting/relieving role in their contracts..you'll see there in that screen, they have an assigned duty.. if you have your starting 2nd baseman as "MLB indispensable" and you sit him out (even for one game) and replace him with a sub, it's understanble he's gonna be a little pissed. For relievers try that trick also..sometimes works/sometimes not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RsCamaro8 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 It's next to impossible to keep releif pitchers happy... they are always wanting more playing time, and sometimes ask for contracts that are more than the starters are making... I'm using an AL team, so my solution is that I only carry about 5 releif pitchers, that way they get more playing time, and also there aren't as many releivers "disrupting the team attitude in the locker room" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenDammit Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 in my dynasty, i've reduced to 4 relievers, thinkin about goin to 3. I'm tired of hearing them complain and getting those stupid emails. I only need three anyway, no use for a long reliever, and hardly need a setup or closer, but i like thsoe two guys so they are staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have the default rosters, and I use the "Make sure they are in the correct role" route. If you have a guy who is listed as Indispensible but you will only play him once in a while, get into the contract negotiator and try and get him to sign a backup contract. Just make sure they don't try and con you out of cash. If they won't sign, **** 'em. Try again in a month or two, but don't worry about it. If he keeps bitching, drop him in AAA, or onto the trade block. If you REALLY feel the need to, give him some playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
