I assume that "real lineups" do not carry over into post season play based on what you are describing.
Makes sense since you cant have real lineups if you don't have real games.
At that point its just predicted lineups.
The bigger problem is Maris staying at CF.
I think either Mantle's historical injury should have affected him more in the game or else Maris should have automatically moved back to RF.
