A 30yr SS free agent you are looking to sign might include his contact rating in the language of the scouting report as "SS will probably bat around .280."

I do not believe this changes how your players are deployed by AI in your team. Your coaches value ratings will influence how they set the lineup, and engaging this setting will not make the coach incorporate the players previous/current stats into how he does this. The setting simply includes a stat prediction when your scout evaluates players.

Hope this is right.

Rather than hoping, it would be nice if a developer could chime in on exactly how this works. After all, this is a game function/option…not an inner working mechanism of the game.
