It certainly might have something to do with it as I have to learn to not micromanage every day. With that said, so many times I have replaced a underperforming gold or diamond player with a bronze or even an iron who absolutely annihilate the previous players' performance. For example I have had Amed Rosario (iron) absolutely demolish Nolan Arenado, Manny Machado, and other gold infielders in both hitting and fielding for TWO SEASONS now. He's actually my super utility guy ATM. I'll take a screenshot if and when tech support get's me back running again, but last I checked he was hitting .280-.290, a solid 1.0-1.4 WAR at the all-star break, and about a 115OPS+. And he had + fielding metrics as well.



I've been told, and I understand now, that OVR rating isn't everything, but a LOW iron card should never outperform a high gold-low diamond card. Ever. Anyhoo, that's been my experience lately.
