Gerald Laird at Shortstop by AI?! What?!

[Guga]

Hey, anybody seeing strange behaviors from the AI, in terms of where it puts players to play?
I was playing against the Braves in my franchise and they double switched, and put in Gerald Laird to play.
Thing is, he was put in the SHORTSTOP position and ended up playing the rest of the game at shortstop.

If you don't know him, he is a catcher and fat.
I checked his real life 11-year career and he never played SS. Ever.

So I'm guessing there may be a bug on the game, that if they double switch, the AI don't pay attention to the substitute ability to play at positions.
Probably they took out the SS cause he was the last one to bat and placed Laird in there, disregarding his (in)ability to play there.

Here is the new Braves shortstop:
Quite agile, isn't it? :P

Well you should win every time you play against that set team with Laird @ SS.....

Nats put Span at catcher against me

Padres put Cashner at LF in real life

Seems like a decent plot for a bad sports movie.

This fall, he is Short and cannot Stop eating, Jack Black is, The Shortstop.

Played Arizona the other day and they double switched and put Eric Chavez in RF, I kept trying to purposefully hit it at him and failed miserably lol.

That's disappointing. I played against the Yankees last night and Cervelli pinch hit for Kelly Johnson and stayed in the play 2B. I thought that was cool because I've seen the Yankees actually play him there and thought it was based on it actually happening before but I guess it was just random.

Also in the same game, which went extra innings with a lot of substitutions, I tried to move my DH to play in the field but the game wouldn't let me. That's a rather lame restriction unless there's something I'm missing and it can be done.
