Odd AI reliever roster

Here is the odd thing that has happened a few times so i thought I should post. Note- this issue does not happen in the pre season, but only occurs during a season in progress. It also only ever effect my player directed teams, not AI only teams.

It begins when a new reliever from outside the organization is brought in via trade or free agency signing. Once he gets placed on the roster the AI, for some reason the new signee immediately becomes the closer, even though several other players should have the role...see screenshot one.

Then things get interesting. If I then go to the roster screen and click "ask AI to fill out entire organization" a real odd thing happens. A number of good relievers get released (screenshot 3, all the higher star relievers all lost from screenshot 1) and then the AI calls up a number of very bad relievers to fill the role, not even the best available ones in AAA. See screenshot 2.

This does not occur with starters, or with batters, only relievers. And only after I have brought a new reliever outside the organization mid season. You might want to test a few in games yourself to see if something like that can be replicated. Again I mention it because it has occured a few times in different leagues I have played.

Cheers
