Granted, I'm a defensive minded guy so I normally have capable guys in the field, but I've still never caught my manager making a defensive move. I just recently called up an 11/15/8 guy who I have/will be starting occasionally at short without any experience there. If my normal 17/18/10 SS doesn't ever take over there for defense, well, I might as well uncheck all defensive sub boxes.
