The Game is excellent, but I only ask for a couple BIG CHANGES

When I bought my first game of MLB 07 the show, the amount of money I received as the best pitcher in MLB was too low. I bought 09, and that problem was fixed very well.
This game provides so much reality, and the best thing is that it can only get better, because it hasn't gotten worse from the past years. Although this game is really good, I do have a complaint I hope will be taken into consideration for the 2010 version.
In the pitching mode for RTTS, I was classified as the Ace of the pitching staff, and rightfully so being that I win just as much or more than anyone in baseball, I am literally (stat wise) the best and I am worth a lot of money, but what has bothered me is the fact that becoming the Ace starting pitcher doesn't mean much in any of the MLB games, and what I mean is the following:
1. Ace starting pitchers works on opening day.
2. Can make mistakes during spring training and not lose Ace role, as long as he proves greatness.
3. He is the person who saves the season and allows the team to make the playoffs (meaning that if the team needs one more win to make it to the playoffs and the Ace pitcher started 3 days ago and is in well enough rest to start on 3 days rest to clinch the playoff berth, than it should happen!!! Instead of giving it to the next pitcher in the rotation)
4. Do what any team in baseball would do if they are in breach of elimination in the playoffs, send their number 1 starter out their on maybe 3-4 days rest, or when needed, instead of allowing the 4th or 5th pitcher of the rotation to pitch in game 7 when the Ace pitcher is on about 3-4 days rest (in fact even on 2 days rest if the energy bar is good to go).
Out of all of those, the only ones used is the first 2, and the most exciting ones aren't. I can't stress enough how bad it is to lose when there is no need to, especially since I cannot pitch with the pitcher on that day because it is my career and I am not allowed to use the other pitchers.
A solution could be placing an option that allows to ask the manager to allow you to pitch on that request, but only allow those requests on very important games. this option could come up in the same place where you can choose to make your manager after being taken out of game. It does make the make more exciting and it allows the user to feel that pressure, and shows that A TRUE ACE EXISTS!!!
Thank you so much for hearing my concern, please take a minute to read my review and take into strong considerations.
