I believe OOTP does a fair job of developing a player's position during his minor league career. I like having my 2B learn 3B to see if he can handle it there, for instance.

However, I think each player should have hidden ratings for his potential to convert to the different positions, and they should be based loosely on the defensive spectrum. So, most CFs, but not all, shouldn't be allowed to convert to SS. You could try it in the minors, at which time a check against the hidden ratings is made, and if he can't convert, you get an email from your scout saying that the conversion isn't going to well and is going to be scrapped.
