I would 100% disagree with the notion the game is wrong for using this player at SS. I don't think you can fault the AI for when it decides to use a player perfectly well rated to play a position at that position, regardless the stage of the player's career. Obviously you have a much different view.
Like I said, if I had a hole at SS and had this player on my team, I would have put him in at SS as well. There's nothing in his ratings (other than lack of experience) to suggest he's not capable of being an average SS. It doesn't matter what position he was moved from.

I think we're arguing across one another.
I'm not disputing that the AI can conclude he has skills enough to play, I'm arguing that it
shouldn't based on what we know actually happens IRL.
As such the player creation/development curve and AI judgment/logic is flawed based on the claim that the game is a realistic expression of what happens IRL.
I'd also dispute the notion that his limited skills at SS would not deteriorate over a 9 year period. I've heard players talk about 1-2 months off affecting their skills defensively.
