I'm playing as a GM-only in a non-DH fictional league. My manager is "LEGENDARY".

Here is a 1b/LF player who has terrible defense but as you can see, has been very productive over the years and is only 30:

Here is who my manager has chosen to start at 1b:

He's a much worse hitter and not exactly a defensive wizard.

Clement is not even selected to back up. In 281 games started at 1b, he has a PCT of .988 with 27 errors.

Am I being unreasonable in expecting this guy to be in the lineup, even if he's a defensive liability at first? Incidentally, last year he was rated a "3" at first, so it seems that's an arbitrary cut off.

I think I'm going to force-start him at 1b but I wish there was a way I wouldn't have to interfere.
