There are many settings that can have an effect on how players are used. If Carlton Fisk is still playing after his Historical Retirement date and that bothers you, then you need to go into settings and check the box next to "Retire players according to history" .(note: that Fisk has not seen one extra pitch in your league yet if it's still the off season 1987)

You can not use Historical Minors and the OOTP development engine (Which from what I'm reading your are doing) and expect things to turn out historically correct. Those features are not meant for exact Historical replays. If you want a closely resembled Historical replay, you need to use the proper settings to produce those results.

One way to ensure players are playing the Historically correct role/position is to go to the League settings/ historical and make sure

Base Player Roles/positions on, is changed to "Real Life Stats" and not set to "AI evaluation"

I never try to produce results like what your referring to, so maybe one of the recalc-historical guru's will chime in with some insight on the best way to get the results you desire.
