In my solo league I've had to do this, as I'm often shafted by the GM AI. I've had variable success, but it *is* doable. The player that you want to learn the new position has to play fairly regularly, though; don't expect them to pick up new skills sitting on the bench half the time..

This is true, but there is another aspect. I attached a text file below with some notes that I gathered on the subject from the manual and these forums. Part of it says:

The game enforces skill minimums for each position, in order to keep players from getting a fielding rating at positions they're not suited for. On the 1-250 rating scale internally used by the game (which is what is displayed in the editor) and with a minimum experience of 100, players will get position ratings if they have these minimum skills . . .

It goes on to list those minimums, then it says:

Players lacking these minimum requirements will not get a position rating no matter how long they play that position. More specifically, it seems that the game assigns an internal rating of 1 to such a player once he has reached the minimum experience of 100 for that position, but he will not get any higher rating than 1 with additional experience beyond that (up to maximum 200) and there will be no rating displayed within the game, e.g. in the player profile.

So, some players will never learn a position, no matter how much experience they get playing it.
