Is anyone else getting some screwy line-ups by the CPU? For some reason I am seeing the CPU play people out of position typically in the outfield. An example:

Providence currently has 3 outfielders
LF Harry Stovey: He's rated at all 3 OF positions with LF (50/940) being his best position by far since CF and RF has ratings of 10/900.
CF Paul Hines: He's rated to play LF and CF with both positions being about average 50 range and .940 FP.
RF Mike Tiernan He's rated for all OF position fairly equal between 50-60 for all 3 and .950 FP.

For some reason the CPU is putting Stovey in LF, Tiernan in CF, & Hines in RF (a position he has no rating for). It refuses to put Tiernan at RF his best position. It seems like it should put the players at the position they are listed as since that's their best positions but its ignoring it for all 3 players.

There are also a couple of other teams with similar problems, Cincinnati is playing Sam Crawford in LF and John Dobbs in RF both out of position, Crawford has more range/FP at RF then Dobbs and Dobbs is a better LF. Crawford's arm is also almost twice what Dobbs is 97 to 57 something that really should be looked when determining who plays RF.

Cleveland has Tom Donovan playing RF even though he has no rating at RF and they have a RF who has almost the exact same ratings nor do they have the RF set up to be a defensive replacement.

The Phillies are for some reason playing a 1B (Klondike Douglass) in RF (5/915) and Ed Delahanty at 1B (10/975). They'd be much better suited to play these two at their actual position since they have the similar ratings at those positions Douglass 60/983 at 1B and Delahanty 55/980 at RF.

Pittsburgh insists on playing Fred Clarke and Ginger Beaumont out of position, Clarke in CF and Beaumont in LF, neither have any ratings at the position they are in the lineup at.

St. Louis is playing Jesse Burkett in CF even though he has no rating at that position, and the CF they have on the roster is playing Burkett's natural position.

Washington has their corner outfielders flipflopped also, with Pop Foster playing RF and Sam Dungan playing LF. At the positions they are playing their ratings are 6/940, but their natural positions are 50/950.
