RTTS-Why am I playing 3B instead of Machado?

Appears that they still have not fixed the AI. I'm a 3rd baseman playing for the Padres. Was in AAA for a while, up until about 76 OVR. Pretty good average and OBP, decent amount of HR's.

I just got called up to the Show, but why. Why am I playing instead of Machado who isn't hurt, is doing well and is the Padres 3rd baseman. But yet I'm playing quite a few games instead of him.

3 things should be happening right now:
1. I either stay in AAA and the Manager be like "look kid, you're doing great but we can't give you the play time at 3B because Machado is our guy"

2. "Along with being a pitcher, would you like to play a different position? How about Outfielder or maybe 2nd base where we need more of the help?"

3. "We'd love to keep you, but we can't find a spot for you on this team to get alot of play time. We either need to have you ride the pine for now or we'll start looking for another team where you can continue your development."

And with #3, they could get a pretty good player for me because I'm supposedly "an exciting two-way prospect who's freaking killing it right now".

If you only you could bring that to the virtual manager.

I know why. According to the 432 podcasts I've seen, I'm the next big thing. I have yet to see a podcast about Machado. lol

Re: RTTS-Why am I playing 3B instead of Machado?

The logic is pretty bad. I'm also seeing #3 hitters bunting at times. If a manager has a hitter in the #3 spot, it's probably for good reason and they should never be bunting, not in any situation...ever.
