However, the example of a P/LF, we do not generally speaking shift them around. So they will either pitch in the game, or they will play the field in the game, but will almost never do both in the same game.

I've seen Joe Maddon do it several times with the Cubs, over the past few years and was wondering if the AI would do it, too.


Thanks
