No, no 'weird setup'
We have reproduced what is taking place.
For some reason, even though Lahman DB (stats) fielding csvs has
player ID with positions and games that match baseball reference,
randomly, some of those players are not getting defensive ratings for
positions they played that year when scouting is enabled, even when scouting is set to 100%
Actually easy to reproduce but have to look for it because it will be different players from year to year or even same year depending on scout of team that player is on.
Turn off scouting and problem 'goes away'. i.e. create a new league in 1897, turn scouting off and look at Bill Joyce and his ratings are there for 3B and 1B
Turn scouting on, put him on a roster, rescout, and his 3B, 1B or both may go away depending on the scout, even with scouting set at 100% Or it may not happen to Bill Joyce or to someone else....
In 1895 it was Joe D Sullivan - played 89 games at SS but does not get a rating at SS that year.
It seems to happens to a handful of players each season....
