UPDATE
Decided to use a different team so I used the Rays hosting the Tigers. I just set Prince as leadoff man so I could see right away.
And, just like the pic by slab and the other poster who used the Giants, the Rays defense was appropriate with an extreme shift, both infield and outfield
Do any Oriole fans (or dev) know if Buck is just a manager who doesn't shift for anyone? If thats the case and they built it into the game, that would be amazing.
Now, I'd like to see if the cpu will adjust depth based on hitter power. So far, the answer is NO, they don't.
Keeping the Rays as the cpu team, I took the Nationals into Shibe Park. I use Shibe Park because of the grids in the outfield. Its very easy to count the lines to determine if the outfielder adjusts how shallow or deep they position.
The outfielders kept the exact same depth for Span (no power at all) as they did for Harper and Zimmerman and LaRoche, and the whole lineup for that matter.
On a side note: I love the ratings system so far. Despite the fact that Laroche won the Silver Slugger Award at 1st base last year and had 33 bombs, he wasn't overrated for power. He's 74 against righties and 73 against lefties. Great job SCEA

If you play as the Red Sox, you will see the Outfielders all play Deep and the infield in a huge shift for Ortiz.
They will also play deep for Saltalamachia, shade to the left for Middlebrooks, and creep in on the grass when Ciriaco is at the plate if the mood is right for a bunt.
Make sure you have the Defensive Positioning set at Auto if you want help, and remember, at the very first at bat, you can set up your own team for the entire lineup as far as how you want to play them. Late in the game, you can override those decisions for an at bat, as needed. (guys on base, playing in to protect against a run etc...)
I have noticed no issue at all with the CPU playing as they "should" and have actually remarked a few times that I had been robbed, based on some pretty fine coaching by the other team with regards to where they had my guys played.

**edit** By the way, I played Baltimore in a Spring Training Exhibition game, and they definitely put the shift on against Ortiz.
