I will say that in historical replays using historical lineups I have noticed (what I perceive to be) better substitution logic and only a few instances where players were radically out of position. But it is well beyond the point where we should be seeing Yadier Molina at SS, or in one of my recent MLB games, where we have Adam Dunn at 2B and Chris Davis at SS, with middle infielders available on the bench.

This shows up in fictional leagues, too, consistently but rarely, if that makes sense. My no-defense slugging 1B is good for one or two inexplicable games at SS, 2B, or 3B a year (not as a starter, but sliding over to those positions later in the game).
