Notice something weird with the catcher defensive stats?

Hernandez showing steals..cant be right

Yep.

Hernandez was in fact catching games though. Grandal to 3B?

Are you playing with open lineups? HAL will do that if you let Him.

It's a glitch. Hal should not have put Grandal in at 3b. And in any case should have definitely used the back-up catcher and not Hernandez.

My line-ups were filled out.

Lots of oddities are being reported on the boards nowadays. The ATG forum abounds with them.

Have to say, it’s a little disheartening.

However, although you’re not running an “injury team”, you seem to be very thin at some positions, while having exposure to at least a few injuries. HAL really disapproves of that.

Glitches all over the place, pinch running for guys without a back up player, I am seeing again and again.

agreed, something has changed in there programming. I believe it, but again have to be clear that its only speculation through experience on my part.

"However, although you’re not running an “injury team”, you seem to be very thin at some positions, while having exposure to at least a few injuries. HAL really disapproves of that."

Yep. I really messed up there. I don't think I've ever put together such a thin infield. Between that and injury-prone guys, Hal was put under a lot of pressure.
