Currently I have a 40 year-old Johnny Bench who is only rated at 3B and a 40 year-old Eddie Joost who is only rated at 2B.

Bench retired after his 35 y/o season and logged 5 appearances in 110 GP at C.*

Joost retired following his 39 y/o season with 20 of his 39 appearances in the field at SS.*

I have very little v14 data to go on, but these instances do seem markedly different from anything I casually observed in v13. I had wondered how the new fielder aging modifiers would work with real players and recalc and player development.

There certainly seems to be a disparity in what is being displayed as a players playability in the field and what the data in use for the simulations for the players are.

I watched the ATL AI mgr use a 26 year-old Bill Dahlen at SS throughout 2008 without any ratings. He started 97 games, had a ZR of +4.1 and a def eff of 1.011. He played no other position that year, majors or minors, other than SS. This appears to be a problem.

Hey! Maybe that's why I got fired! I had no idea who could play where!..Better to have the AI discern that than me, I guess.....

ADD: My Diamondback team was 16th out of 16 in fielding when I got fired.....hmmmmmmmm.......
