Tried to get Jackie Robinson to play 2b, but he was unavailible, so the computer drafted Willie Horton instead...very odd since I had Simmons, Meusel, and D. Dimaggio ranked higher and already got them! Can the computer not tell that I wasn't interested in 4 starting OFs?

i don't have the for sure answer for you, but i think you'll see this computer does some awkward things in the games and drafts. i just drafted my first 69 team in which i tried drafting at least 2 and some times 3 players at a position, but when team appeared i had 4 third basemen and no first basemen. so obviously that forced my hand on my waiver moves. good luck!

the draft logic will select the next player at the primary position (listed first on the card) of the player you lost out on. In this case J.Robinson has LF as primary postion, so the next LF available was selected
