Did you take a look at the fielding stats of the players in question? Oftentimes, as it is when you're training players up in the main PT mode, their training is reflected in worse fielding stats, but may not always manifest itself in a game-changing error or missed play.
It's a risk to put an untrained player at a position for a tournament, but having their bat in the lineup (or the bat of whoever is in their main position) may be a worthy reward. This is also a less risky move if you load your pitching staff with stuff-heavy and/or flyball pitchers where defense is less crucial.
