If we'd do it 100% perfect though then the game would be unplayably slow, hence we have to make some compromises.
In other instances, often users are misinterpreting certain settings (as happened here with the 3-year fielding recalc enabled) or simply having a different opinion than the AI or have set the AI evaluations in a weird way or this or that. There are a million reasons... I often look at league files where it seems something strange is going on, but in 95% of the cases there is a logical explanation for the game's behavior.

Markus, I am in 1891 - found another great example of what has been frustrating me. I FTPed a .zip file. TVA.ZIP to your FTP site of my current league.... I included a readme.doc in the .zip file
Ed Delahanty..- did not play SS until 1894 per baseball reference
Has started all 46 of team's games at SS - even though team has 2 SSs and 3 others who are rated to play SS - he is not....
He has made 44 errors in those 46 games....
Yes, I am using 3 years in settings - I want some 'randomness' and not just a enactment of what really happened... bu 1891 is not in range for 1894 for 3 years....
I am hoping next patch does make this better... You and your crew usually do! But I hope you can have some empathy for my (and others) frustration with this aspect of the game..... I don't mind Ernie Banks playing 1B when/after the Cubs moved him there, but not 5 years before that really happened...
