To be honest, with his ratings, the game is correctly using him whether or not you agree with it.
The game is supposed to be a realistic baseball sim. If you can show me any All Star 1B in MLB history who converted to and started at SS having never started a game at that position in their career, you might have a point

The game should not operate such that his skills are sufficient to start at SS. His defensive stats clearly show that the game engine is penalizing him for playing out of position. To me that shows a flaw in the logic of the AI as it selects lineups.

A claimed feature of the game is that it follows the defensive spectrum in its development engine. In this case it's obviously wrong.

He is just one example. I could post more.
