Looking for someone to shed some light here...

1st game last night:

Pollock, my CF'er, is out. I have Maybin listed as his backup.
HAL decides Robles, who I have in LF, is better in CF than Maybin.
So, I win 2 out of 3 last night.
The defense is essentially the same.
Why?
Why bother with the settings?
Am I missing something here?
