So as we can see there are some positions that do not have a high tier primary which is incredibly odd. Also, you only want to be playing your ballplayer at his primary position in DD, or he will get out of position animations which is also stupid, not sure if this is intended or not. Below is a cleaned up view of all positions and their Gold/Diamond tier archetypes:

Catcher (0) - NONE

First Base (0) - NONE

Second Base (2) - Rawhide/The Fly Chaser

Third Base (4) - Crime Dog/Yo Adrian/The Showboat/Ironman

Shortstop (5) - The Hawk/The Lark/The Wizard/The Mechanical Man/El Mago

Left Field (6) - The Tool Shed/The Duke/El Ambusador/Man of Steel/The Winny/The Werth

Center Field (5) - The Spoke/The Dart/El Nino/Cool Papa/The Belli

Right Field (2) - The Dewey/Sheff
