Sure, although I don't have my solo league hosted on any websites, so I'll just have to tell you about it.

The Providence Grays are team6 in my league, and have Jimmy Wood, a 33-year-old second baseman who is rated 6 (out of 1-10) in defense with an .868 fielding percentage. His hitting ratings are 56-86-25-17-87. Wood was just signed this season as a free agent, and makes $4.7 million/year.

They also have 32-year-old Dan Patterson, who is rated 3 in defense with an .836 fielding percentage. His hitting ratings are 27-17-16-11-89. Patterson was signed to a minor league contract as a free agent this season, and makes $300,000/year. Both players' talents are pretty close to their actual ratings.

The game realizes that Wood is a better fielder than Patterson, as the AI depth chart has Wood as a defensive replacement. But it considers Patterson the better hitter when making the depth chart.

One note: this error does not extend to making lineups. The AI puts Patterson in the #8 spot against both lefties and righties. However, when Patterson was out injured for a couple of weeks, the game inserted Wood as the #4 hitter.

If there's anything you'd like me to zip up and send anywhere, just let me know.
