Can there be captains? What I mean is you choose a captain and the captain will have a big C on their jersey. Also, can you add player numbers?

maybe have a hidden rating for leadership...and just the guys with high ratings will have in their scouting report something like "he's a leader on the field" or "he leads by example" or "other players look up to this guy" etc etc...and giving this guy a C will give a tiny boost to player ratings...and maybe have that you HAVE to give a C to someone (i don't know if there is ever a team without a captian in real life) and if you give a C to someone with crap leadership...you'll get a slight drop in ratings...and give the C to someone with just an average leadership rating...no boost or drop...but this will add another layer of strategy...people will go out looking for players with leadership...

Only 2 major league teams even have captains currently... (Yankees - Derek Jeter, White Sox - Paul Konerko).

And I read that a former team captain of the California Angels said, "there's probably no need for a captain on a major league team."

But if this captain thing is just for looks... then i'm fine with it. & the original suggestion makes it seem like it is only a cosmetic suggestion (asking for a special jersey & jersey numbers... *not* changes in game play.)

According to Wikipedia, there is only one: Captain (baseball)

Only one Major League Baseball team currently has a captain:[5]

New York Mets: David Wright


I'm not against this...I'm just not sure what it adds to the game. Jersey numbers don't really have much purpose, but have always been a big part of baseball. Captains...not really.

It's on the list of things to look at. It's just not very high up the list.
