Answer scope

Provide one example that satisfies the full prompt: Name a position in the standard baseball defensive lineup. Read any restrictions on letter count, location, award or group membership before choosing. Use a complete name when possible.

Matching ignores capitalization and accents, recognizes prepared aliases, and can suggest conservative spelling corrections. A suggested correction must be confirmed with a second submission. The list below records the actual configured entries rather than an exhaustive list of everything that could fit.
