I find this interesting as one of my complaints up to and including v13 was the apparent inability of the AI to move players in-game which led to bad defensive subs. So it seems we have movement, now as you say it needs to understand that the SS should not be the one to move. However what if 2B is open?
In OOTP's defense it is a complex problem. In a typical MLB set up there are 120 teams (assuming 3 levels of minors) with roster limitations and injuries and game situations occurring each day. Unlike a human it is difficult to program the AI to anticipate extra innings, injuries and the concept of calculated risk such as using your second catcher to PH with a chance to win the game.
I believe v14 has less multi-position players. Something that I've been asking for. That makes it more challenging.
