AI not caring about defense at all?

[DennisDenver]

I just got my save up and running one thing I am noticing is the AI doesn't seem to even remotely care about defense mostly in the outfield. I simmed 50 years into the future so I don't know if it is a fluke but.

Biggest example I got is Dodgers who have signed massive amount of talent. They can hit a ball but their main Right Fielder is playing position daily with defense ability in Right field is 3.

I could overlook this but also

Center field? 3
2nd base? 8
1st base? 5

I thought maybe it was just someone didn't care about all about defense and purely offense running team nope. Same thing with teams with money. Not as bad of a degree as Dodgers but seeing 3 to 8 in defense is common.

Also no one is injured. It was like this at opening of season with high end teams.

I never seen this before in OOTP. I've seen it in injuries but never just base standard season.

Edit: I turned 100% scouting on and used 1 to 20 scale. Every team that spends money is like this. St Louis (Who I beef up) I am currently playing has 4 players from 3 to 8 defense (5th is 9). Their entire starting roster is full of high offense players and they should all be DH/1st base but... The are in the outfield...

Again, teams who are lower market teams aren't at as bad. It's like AI is like "YES! 30 million a year for this 3 at defense center field for 6 years! Great idea!"

Any idea what is up here? I am using an EXPANSION team and looks like I am going to make it to play offs..
