Hello,
Longtime lurker & have been enjoying the mvp baseball 2005 mods and rosters at this site. I have tried searching for an answer on the forums, but did not see anything pertinent or am searching the wrong keywords, so trying this post.
For 2 way players such as Ohtani, I've normally see him on mods and rosters as 2 separate players (1 as a starting pitcher and 1 as a fielder instead of just 1 single player with the pitching and hitting attributes combined). I understood this separation was needed because if you had 1 single player with both attributes with a main position as a Starting pitcher, you could never insert a starting pitcher in your lineup as a DH. Or vise versa where if the main position was a fielder (e.x. right field), you could never insert a fielder as a starting pitcher. Especially since I play with DH turned on in both leagues.
However, I just played against the CPU having a Starting pitcher in their DH slot! Does anyone know if the user can do this or if this is just some CPU shenanigans? Please see attached screenshots of the CPU's lineup with a SP in the DH slot.
