First of all, I'd like to express my appreciation to RedSox45 and MattH3322 for expressing a willingness to look into some defensive issues I see that this game might have. I didn't want to hijack Matt's thread, so I thought I'd start a new one to reiterate some questions I've been trying to flush out the answers to the last couple of weeks.1) Do the good defensive players like Brooks Robinson and Ozzie Smith have better defensive ratings than average players; and are average players ranked better defensively than poor fielders like Dick Allen?2) Does it matter in the game? In other words, is it better to have an outstanding defensive player like Ozzie Smith at short with a .262 BA and 1-2HR/yr than a player with average defense that hits .265 and about 7 HR/yr?3) If defense is relavent, does the AI recognize this when selecting the lineup?
