Chance was actually the RF for much of the 1901 season, but the AI didn't consider putting him there, either. Instead, it ran out of outfielders and put Johnny Kling out in RF. This was not a problem in version 5.

This explains why no matter how bad Chipper Jones is rated at 3B, he will always start there ahead of DeRosa.
