Title: Pitching Roles - Can we get a Stopper role aded?
Post by: sumhzrd on May 01, 2015, 07:39:32 AM

I'd prefer to assign the role of Stopper, rather than Closer.  I haven't figured out how to enable that option in WBA.  Is that possible?

According to this thread on the OOTP boards (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-14-general-discussions/234330-why-stopper-not-available-modern-era.html) we would have to change the era setting of Use of Closers to Rarely in order for the stopper role to appear.  That would require an amendment but I would be open to the idea.

Unfortunately I simply don't know how it would affect the league overall if we changed the setting to Rarely but if the other teams simply didn't use the stopper role in their pitching staff and just stuck with a closer.  I would think that would be the ideal scenario but just can't say for sure.  Sounds like you should start a thread in the Constitutional Amendments discussion forum.  It's an interesting possibility.
