And within the framework of the game there should eb repucssions, I don't believe you shuldn't be allowed to play an OF at C. But the negative D effects should be set up to be extremely punitive.

For instance; you've got an INN C, your other C is injured, it'e the ninth, you've got a man on second, and Bonds on the bench. Do you pinch hit? If you do, Bonds goes in behind the plate. You've got Gagne in the pen.

Allow the manger to make a decision. Make it that if anyone get's to first and a non-catcher is behind the plate the runner automaticly steals second and third. Knowing this, the manager has to weigh the possible Pos and Neg affects of, his decision.

The same for IBB's. If the MGR tries to lose games to improve position, the appropriate punitive effect is to have it act in the other direction.
I actually like the draft order change ( Best non-playoff winning percentage gets first pick) better, this is an alternative_
