That's not my definition of AI.

That's not what the AI is doing all, unless I totally misunderstand.

The AI sees in spring training that the a player's ratings has slipped (just like a human player could see). Rather than hurt their team by putting that guy with reduced ratings on the field, they bench or demote him. In a game, that's probably the smarter thing to do. It would be the smart thing to do in real life too, if you had "ratings" that were reliable.
