The game, or your AI manager? Maybe Maddon is coded to want power bats up the gut...
Now that I know you're evaluating across all positions, I can say for certain that you are looking way too far into it. All three of these players are technically below average players currently on the 20-80 scale, and there are a bunch of reasons why they could be being deployed as they are.
Also, just because its the lineup right now doesn't mean your AI manager isn't about to make a change. Maybe he wanted to give Baez a real shot because he had a ton of potential, and the stats are just starting to drive his numbers down and he's about to be replaced.
You said you're in September, finish the season and see what happens.
It sounds to me like you'd be much better suited to fictional play because you cannot divorce yourself from the names...the second you hit "Sim Day" real life went out the window.
