Yea but did he start the game there or did the computer sub him into the slot.

I've seen my now retired Harold Baines of the CDL fill in at shortstop a couple of times, not by my doing but by the wonders of the OOTP Gods.

Nope, the CHW have a human manager.

I was able to put a MR at 2B in OOTP5 since I was out of postion players and an injury occured.

It looks to me like he was talking about the real-life White Sox game yesterday. Dye played SS and Durazo scored the winning run.

d'oh....

But then why is this so-called "real" baseball intruding upon our fantasy? How dare it!

I don't get it. Sure, Dye got subbed in there - but due to necessity. And yeah, it happens (see: Doug Mientkiewicz starting a game at 2B last year), but you're not likely to see Juan Pierre start playing third base out of the blue on a regular basis.
