I seriously do not recommend training a new position in the majors for this reason, especially in the infield.
I learned this the hard way myself.

Just to get his bat into the lineup, I moved a prospect who is normally a 3B over to 2B after an injury to my 2B.......he made 9 errors in 16 games before I gave up and just benched him.

Although he does now have a rating of 8 on a 1-100 scale!!

Of course, the defensive spectrum probably could have told me this was going to happen....I was willing to take the bad with the good, but then he stopped hitting too.
