Change in position experience formula?

I am wondering if you guys had any thoughts on this. Currently, a player gets 1 experience point per game played at a position until he maxes out at 200, and then he has reached his highest rating at that position. Now, while I agree with the idea that roughly a season and a half is needed to really master a position, however, I don't think that every day along the way to 200 should be weighted the same.

For instance, a player rated at shortstop, but not third base should pick up third base fairly quickly. And, while there should be some growing pains as a player begins to master a position, but there is some natural athleticism and intangibles (pretending these are human beings of course) that should let the player gather a respectable rating pretty quickly.

So, my suggestion is perhaps the first 20 games at a position are worth 5 experience points a game. Then, after that it goes up by one all the way to 200. But, after 20 games (or roughly a month, both playing and practicing all the time at this position), they should he about halfway in their proficiency and at least be passable, and not a complete liability.

My apologies if this has been brought up before.
