That is terrible. The AI is failing to recognize that a player's all around contributions are what demonstrate his value. Chipper is sooo much better than Oberkfell. Obviously, he wasn't as good with the glove as he was with the bat, but I would call him an average to a tick below defender at 3B. He was a stupendous hitter though. This makes absolutely no sense. I wonder what's causing it because I don't see this sort of thing in my leagues. Here's my best example from a test league. He played a very important defensive position, and did not play it well. He was tied for worst in MLB in ZR among all CF who played the majority of their team's games in CF.
Yet, he was allowed to start 146 games, was selected to the All-Star team, won the Silver Slugger in CF, along with AL MVP, and ROY honours. Not a bad year's work. I wonder what's happening that's different in our games? The two players on the roster and reserve roster who could've "Oberkfelled" him were Johnny Watwood, and Joe Nossek, and they wound up with a total of 121 PA, so I can't figure out what's going on here. What's happening in my game is what should be happening. Pictures below...
