Question for the group (and apologies if this info is covered elsewhere): How does Sparky choose pinch runners? I can prioritize my bench players in terms of pinch hitting, but I see no setting for pinch running. If I have Billy Hamilton on my bench, will Sparky choose him as a pinch runner if he is the fastest player on my bench, or are pinch runners just chosen at random?

He chooses the player on the bench with the fastest speed rating

This can be very annoying when your best pinch hitter is also your fastest bench guy and you see sparky us your 'PH' to run and then sends up a guy who bats .197 to pinch hit. Of course the easy way to avoid this is don't draft a fast guy to be your PH (duh) but still

Yeah, it's unfortunate you can select settings for whether a guy can be pinch ran and/or pinch hit for, but you can't select whether a guy is availble to be used as a pinch runner or pinch hitter. Small improvements would make me big happy.
