Just to note that this also happens in fictional play. Part of the problem is that players unrated for a position perform worse than any real player ever would. I would prefer that the AI never play a player where he is unrated. I would also prefer the AI never play a player at a position for which he is rated, but rated poorly, except in emergency situations. The floor defensive rating for considering a player to start at a position should get higher the further to the right you go on the defensive spectrum and by the time you get to shortstop, the AI should have heavy reservations about playing anyone lower than a 6 on a 1-10 scale.
