With the DP listed in the line-up, any of the 10 players listed can play any of the 9 defensive positions. I might turn in a lineup with batter in the two hole listed as playing SS and decide to sit her on the bench and have DP play in her place the top of the first inning.
Even when I am not using the DP, I still don't understand why you want me to write down defensive positions, other than the pitcher and the catcher.

Considering that you can legally put the other 7 all in left field, or all between 1st and 2nd base, or dang near anywhere, this was a pretty asinine request from your umpire.
