AI Demoting Star DH
I have seen this issue repeat in both the MLB League and in custom, fictional leagues where when having the AI set up Organization, it doesn't seem to like having a player over 30 years old as a positional DH. It will actually demote the DH (David Ortiz as a specific example) to Single A or even the Rookie League. The DH in each instance had had very high batting ratings. In fact, Ortiz made the All-Star team with excellent stats. Then I lost him after doing a quick AI setup. Turns out he was sent to the Short Season A squad.
By simply changing the position to 1B or RF will fix the issue, but then I'm stuck having to modify the roster if AI prefers to have a bad fielder play the field and sticking a good fielder at DH. There doesn't seem to be good AI judgement concerning DH.
