But Draft Dodger has identified the worst hole in the depth chart system. It's one I think you can fix by allowing the user to assign priorities to the various roles. In Draft Dodger's situation, Smith's backup role as RF could be assigned as primary, so the AI would look at that first when deciding where to put him. The current method works poorly for multiposition regulars. I first saw this in OOTP3, when Honus Wagner never got his regular playing time if you made him a SS. He actually played RF until Bones Ely was traded and then moved to SS. But you can't make him a SS and backup RF. The regular at one position will not sub at another position.
