However, this seems to be happening to lots of players so that is probably not the issue. Wouldn't hurt to check their games played for the affected seasons..

I looked at Ripkin and he did start all 162 games, which is strange because I use high fatigue. Also, he was the only SS on his team at the end of the season. Not because the team didn't have players rated to play SS on their reserve roster, but due to OOTP AI not caring that the team didn't have a backup SS. Just poor roster construction. You might be on to something. The two players I mentioned in the opening post, Ripkin and Granderson are such extreme cases in horrible play that I could very well see it being a matter of over fatigue crippling the player's abilities. Granderson did not play all 162 games though, I think he played roughly 140+ games, but if he did so without rest, he may be a fatigue victim as well. I like high fatigue because it forces the AI to use the entire roster, but if it's going to cause nonsense, I'm not going to use it.
