At any rate, I'm wondering if there is a setting that affects this. Do you have development on? Fielding ratings based upon Current Season? (Although with Rolen, doesn't matter what season, it should be based upon his ratings at ONLY 3B...)
The way I see it, any (for example) 3B should be able to slide over to SS and play the position as well as a very good beer-leaguer. But that doesn't mean that - in the absence of any real-life experience (stats) at the position - he should be rated high enough to where OOTP sees fit to put him there regularly. If that's what OOTP is doing, and it can't be explained by settings, then there's an issue.

5 year recalc. Fielding based on 3 year period. It's random debut so development has to be on. I think the biggest problem is what you talked about earlier. In the case of Pee Wee Reese, the AI is playing a guy with the worst defensive rating the game offers at 2B, while Dee Gordon is rated light green 50, Ron Hunt same color 45, Art Howe same color 45, Kid Eberfeld is yellow 45. The game doesn't value defense at times.
Crazy thing is, I hit the run computer manager on all teams and the game sent Reese to the reserve roster and promoted Brendon Ryan.
