I wish this could be addressed. On my high A team, I have two catchers. When the AI makes lineups, it leaves backup catcher slot empty. They have the 2nd catcher starting in LF. Went into commissioner mode and removed his LF ability (was only a 3 experience). Had AI set up lineups again, and they have him starting at 1B. I have checked for both the starter and this guy to "force start/use at position" set to catcher. He has 8/8 defense and arm. If he isn't cut out to be a starter, he sure sounds like a great backup with his arm and defensive skills.

If there are two catchers on the roster and you select both to force start/use at catcher, please have the game use them at catcher. They can't afford to be in primary starting lineup at a different position.

Bottom line...EVERY TEAM needs to have a backup catcher in all depth charts.
