I think it's sort of a bug. All three of those 1B (Cerv, Lemon and Sullivan) did not play enough 1B to have career infield ratings at the position, but the game gave them 200 fielding experience anyway. Fortunately they were not good enough to be starters (unlike Clendenon in LF) so the AI just started them there presumably as substitutions.

If the game did not grant fielding experience for unrated positions, I suspect there would almost be zero bad starts when using "Entire Career" for fielding ratings.
