It matters if a player is a 2B or not because they also have an "experience" rating in the editor. Try putting a player there with 0 experience at 2B for a season with that minimum DP rating and see what happens.

Rain King, I think Sandberg is an example as the Cubs were about 10% below average in turning DP during his seasons, but remember it takes a good DP partner so it is not all on Sandberg.

Leo The Lip, I used the Bill James formulas from Win Shares to compile the data for every team and player since 1871. Basically the formulas look at things like estimated players reaching 1B against the team, and the team assist totals as an approximation of groundball percentage, and then compare the league rate to the team rate to determine how many double plays they were expected to make in a season.
