Suggestion: Give a "Maximize Defense" option in the Depth Charts screen. This would force the AI when simming games to move players around to the best possible defensive alignment when starting subs. (The "Start at __ pos" on the Strategy screen could override the option for certain players.)
Reason: In real life, managers often rest a great defensive player by putting a good-hit/poor-field player at a less demanding position and moving another player already into the lineup into the vacant position. For example, if the 4th OF is a good hitter but lousy defensive player, the real-life manager may sit the CF for a game and move his starting LF to center and stick the stiff in left (or move the starting DH to left, letting the lug just hit). As it is, the only way to sub the hitter for the fielder is to put the big, slow guy in CF. (Seven-day lineups can be used this way, but not as elegantly as "start every X games.")
Priority: I think it should be fairly high. It's normal in real life and it wouldn't seem to be too hard to code.
