Can anyone name a player who has been moved from 2B due to their poor DP performance?

In OOTP, you can put anyone you want at 2B, including RF. So, while turning a double play may be important to be a second baseman, not being able to turn a double play doesn't wash you out of the system entirely. Double plays are not positional ratings in OOTP.
I believe a couple years ago, Brian Dozier was getting a lot of flak from Dodgers fans (and also Minnesota fans before that) because he was unable to complete what should have been routine double plays. I thought I read that was one of the reasons he started to play less after being traded to LA.
