Lightbulb Idea for AI Generated Depth Charts

1) Create a formula for the offensive ratings. A hidden system with weights on each rating.
2) Order the players based on this system for each team.
3) Place the top player at his best fielding position.
4) Place the next player at his best position. If it is taken by previous players, place this player at his best secondary position.
5) Continue down the list. If all of a player's defensive positions are filled, put him at DH or go on to the next player if there is no DH.
6) After the lineup is filled, compare the DH to each player at his fielding positions. If he has a better fielding ability, swap the players.

Let me know what you guys think. I'd really like to see this aspect improved.
