New feature, not real surprised the AI has trouble with it. IMHO I don't even like having it in the game. In all my 40 years of watching baseball I have seen Fernando Valenzuela play RF once. I know in that time that others have on occasion but not enough IMHO to make me ask for this in the game.

Pinch run or pinch hit to lay down a bunt or if a good enough hitter to swing away sure. To play the field, no. Not until it can be tested to work almost perfectly, because when it doesn't work it makes the game look bad and kills the experience if you are playing against the AI and it does this.

I would love to see an option in the setup that bars pitchers from playing the filed. I'd certainly use it until it was clear the AI could handle it.
