Pro athletes
You have to consider that these guys are all professional athletes.  Don't you think that an OF who can throw a baseball on a linedrive for about about 300ft could also throw out a base runner or two?  Or what about an IF that can make a play to his right and throw out a speedy baserunner with an off balance throw to 1B?  Surely that same player could block a few balls in the dirt and catch a fast ball.  I know there is a bug in the sim concerning non-rated catchers behind the plate, but if you realistically think about it, most MLB could probably fend for themselves behind the plate.  Just because Tim was facing a team w/o a rated catcher does not mean that he should automatically sweep a series.  Come on.
