Thanks for your reply.

With MPT selected, the CM does not generate spot start percentages, ...You have to manually put in spot percentages either way. 

  
Have you tried generating a CM with "match playing time"?  It should generate percentages for bench players, though they are not perfect.  Also, keep in mind this option ONLY affects the generation of the manager profile, NOT the selection of lineups for a single game. 
Yes. Unless I'm doing something wrong, when I change the CM setting to "match playing time" for the organization, none of the rosters have percentages for bench players. When you switch from MPT to "use ratings" there is very little difference in the games played for the position players. Pitchers on the other hand, have very different usages. With match playing time, many more pitchers get starts; with "use ratings" only 5 starters are used for the whole season. Remember, these are drafted rosters from a projection disk, so that may have something to do with it. 

When the DMB's manager profile generator builds depth charts, it uses defensive games started to determine what the spot start percentages should be. The 2011 projection disk does not include projected starts by position, so the manager profile has nothing to work with and you get zeros. For what it's worth, the last time a Diamond Mind projection disk included projected fielding starts was on the 2006 projection disk. I don't know why the change was made.
