<hr style="color: rgb(59, 75, 127);" size="1">   Suggestion
Allow the major league club to direct the development of minor league talent. ie if a player is a SS but the major league club has that filled. Then push the minor league club to use the player in other positions that might be needed, like 3b or 2b. this would be a check box and allow up to 3 alternate positions to be trained. this could be used to convert a started to reliever or the reverse. This could be limited by initiating a designation of ML prospect.
this is something beyond the 40 man rosters where you believe the player may make it to the major leagues. maybe 40 players per team but only players with minor league contracts would be eligible.

I posted this in AI but i realized it really belongs here instead.

Reason
This can be done manually but with 6 minor league teams it is tedious to try and accomplish. i also believe that the Major league teams have this influence today to direct their prospects development.

Priority
Low but it would be nice.
