Two things here. Every position has minimum ratings. Some guys will never get a SS rating no matter how much you play them there. There is a chart some where on the OOTP 11 forums that shows minimum ratings per position. The harder the position on the D spectrum the more minimum ratings are needed to get a rating. For instance 1B only needs low fielding range, iirc, to qualify for a rating. You need decent ratings in every category to get a SS rating with experience.

Secondly the manager's teach fielding determines how fast they learn. Only in spring training do the ratings seem to go up quickly. If you have a so-so fielding manager at the level the guy is out it can take a long while for him to learn.
