I'd agree with that. To follow up on what I said last night, I think this game would actually take real life guys like Seager, Semien, Tatis, Story, and estimate their fielding ratings in the high 70s/ low 80s. So they'd be like 3Bs overplaying at SS like you said, except this game would hurt their fielding stats.

To continue the idea a little bit, the game almost never generates naturally excellent 3B. All my 3Bs are failed SS unless they just can't hit at all... and then sometimes I use them anyway. Open up draft prospects and one of the first things I usually do is see if there are any "natural" 3B worth drafting: almost never, and I set the 3B position target to 0. I haven't drafted a "natural" 3B in about my last 30 drafts.

The game generates 3Bs who are LFs with stronger arms who can hit for power not average... like back in the 70s or something.
