players will improve to the best of their ability at a position. Their ability is determined by their defensive attributes. As players age, they lose some from their attributes, most notably their range. It's just a matter of experience in the position. If you need a break down on what's required for a position, I'll post it, but I'm lazy, so if you don't need it, I don't want to type it.

I think it will give him credit for the time spent in the position. Obviously the more time the quicker it will improve, so taking him out in the 9th is going to slow it a bit, which might be good considering he's making a lot of errors at the moment anyway.
