edit: Not trying to come across as "Pls buff Blue Jays", just that the specific interaction between the defense of Springer and Zimmer seems like it might be a bit out of whack given he was brought in and is being used specifically as a defensive replacement in CF.

No worries, this seems pretty reasonable. We'll take a look at it.
Just a note, sometimes there's a reason for stuff like this being how it is, even if it's not truly 'correct'.
For example, if we buff a player too much, even if it's justified, then the AI will start using a player where we don't want.
Like if we buff Zimmer's D, then the AI may suddenly decide to make him the starting RF over Tapia and throw the Blue Jays default lineup off. Or make him the starting CF and move Springer to a corner. Or whatever.
Not sure if this is was the case here, but I just mention it more as a general thing to be aware of in similar cases.
