Part of the problem is that corner infielders aren't severely enough punished if they're playing SS/2B. This is even true if they have no fielding skills whatsoever.

I made an experiment and converted the 2001 Jason Giambi to shortstop. The result: 22.4 runs below average defensively and 91.8 runs above replacement level offensively. He made the all star team at SS. So the AI actually has an incentive for converting guys to 2B/SS.
