I'll just wrap up my thoughts with this, and a lot of it echoes what Furious is getting at in his post.

I personally think it's pretty clear to me the DP rating doesn't do much. My own experiment in the league and Furious's numbers confirm that. Is it worthless? Not quite, but a minimum rating isn't a significant difference between an elite rating. I think that works very different from every other rating in the game. I think a minimal double play rating should pretty much be bad enough that it prevents a player from being a reasonable choice to play a middle infield positions.

Now I think there are three camps based on the responses. The first is that you agree there is an issue with the rating and it should be changed in some way. The others are:

1) You still think the DP rating matters more than the tests show and these results don't satisfy you. I'd strongly urge you to run your own test. Eliminate the questions you see in the results. For what it's worth, I ran my own tests where I put 1B at 2B for a season and they were able to turn over 100 DP a season despite never having played 2B and having minimal DP ratings, some of them with OF or other 1B playing SS.

2)You think the DP rating is acting as intended and that turning DPs is easy and the range between major league baseball players regardless of other skills is small. These results show that OOTP simulates that and nothing needs to be changed.
