Are players moved to inactive supposed to lose all stats?

I meant to ask this question a while back, but forgot until now. I had a player in my lineup a while back that got automatically replaced when I drafted someone supposedly a little better, but the other player had a better hit rating so I put him back in the lineup. I noticed that all of his hitting stats had been reset back to 0. Is this by design, or was/is there a bug that's causing this? I'm afraid of drafting now because I'm afraid I'm going to get a "better" 2nd baseman that's going to automatically replace the one I have who has the most hits on the team and is closing in on the 3000 hit achievement.
