So do you always start as such a bad player, or is it just how our starting points were spent?

:colbert: you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
no really with max contact, power and speed Pnurtis is technically optimized; as far as rookie development goes he has the best chance to get hits, hit for extra bases & reach hits in the outfield that slower OFs can't get to. The fact that he can't throw the ball all the way to the infield or jump high enough to save a homerun has minimal relevance to his actual development

* Inning Eater - get thrown out on the basepaths three times in a game, either caught stealing or Thrown Out On The Basepaths Like A Nincompoop

* Forgot My Bat - complete game without making contact with the ball (only walks or called strike 3s)

* Ty Cobb Triple - in one game, succesfully get a bunt single, get a takeout slide into second base, and get ejected

* Knuckler? I Barely Know 'Er! - dinger off a knuckleball pitcher (bonus points if it's a knuckleball)

* DH2 - complete game in the field with no fielding opportunities

Welcome to limbo, where you're good enough at one thing to warrant being on the big league team but not good enough at enough other things to actually start with any regularity!

I think Pnurtis is playing weird positions because he's outright replacing whoever he pinch runs for.

Do you have to manually slide or is the game taking complete control of that for you?

Given the way the game fights me at times, it is probably set to some kind of assisted control of sliding. I may need to change that to full manual control (which has a dozen different ways to slide, including "Collision with catcher" so maybe Pnurtis can steal home plate at some point).

either that or your right stick's hosed up
