Draft tournaments & pitchers being turned into fielders, fielders into pitchers, and so on

This seems to occur to me in about half of the drafts I start.

It seems like the only "guarantee" of fixing the problem is if one is present in that last hour, where it announces that whatever tourney is about to begin & then you can change rosters at that point.

Some other draft I joined yesterday had a SP removed from the rotation and inserted as the new shortstop, with next to zero fielding ability and a "1" rating.

When this occurs it seems to fix itself to a degree -- re; the anomalies are "fixed", but you're left with holes in your roster, that the AI doesn't always fill properly -- eg, if you don't have someone set as an emergency SP and one or more of your SP roll over to batters and then come back to pitchers, they won't have a roll set, and you'll be left with a reduced starting rotation (or if you do set the emergency SP, with an inferior rotation, and quite possibly the "best" starters you drafted being useless, unless everyone else is exhausted). These drafts, well, so sorry, you lose.

When the batter comes back from being the starting pitcher, usually the AI will insert it into the empty slot, so it's not as problematic.

I took a screenshot .. should have done it before I had moved them back, but forgot to. Anyway, you can see that it has added positional rankings to two of my pitchers. Burt Hooton isn't a very good 3B, though at least David Robertson has a 32 1B defensive positional rating.

I just did the AI pitcher & lineup setup, since I suspect they'll get swapped around again (though I'll probably assign an emergency SP, probably should make a habit of that since this bug still persists after 6+ months).
