OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - The problem now too big to ignore

I agree with OP in this thread. While I do ignore it, which is my fault, I do not like seeing AI play a guy with a 3 (out of 20) rating at 2B when his natural position is CF. Move him to LF, RF, 1B, maybe, but no real team is going to stick a guy with little or no defensive aptitude at a middle-infield position except in an emergency.

Instead, I see this happening a lot in the game and it's to suit the offensive lineup instead of being realistically concerned about defense. So, if AI has four OF's and no 2B, it will do this dumb move instead of bringing somebody up from the minors, hunt the waiver wire, or go to the trading post.

So I agree, this flaw should be addressed.
