The problem is not A-Rod playing SS - it is A-Rod playing SS at a level even A-Rod never achieved because he managed to play 1 inning and made a double play that inning so he makes ungodly amounts of double plays.

The problem is a guy who only had 16 AB's against lefties and happened to hit a HR and 3 doubles but who batted 52 times vs RH and hit .173.

His manager didn't platoon him vs RH because he was stupid, the guy just got lucky vs LH in a small sample size. If he had 100 PA vs lefties what do you think would happen? Honestly?

The problem is a guy who started 6 games but pitched 90 innings with 57 relief appearances being used as a regular starter. In reality he was pretty mediocre as a starter but was great in relief.

The problem is freak stats from limited sample size being allowed to explode.

Go ahead, play A-Rod at SS but after he reaches 200% of his actual innings played there, downgrade him to a mediocre or worse SS (yes I know he'd be better but the game doesn't rate players on how they did over a career, just for the season and if the current season stats are too limited - don't use them).

Put a little more reality into an already good SIM by limiting the freak stats to the actual amount of PA, fielding chances, starts, etc. that the freak stats were accumulated over.
