I could be wrong, but that is how I thought it worked (and obviously how HawkyTom thought it worked, too).

Yep, that's why I decided to make this whole post, because I'm getting seriously confused here!!


So here's a minor update...I've started playing a little bit through the season and now it's April 30th and here's another 'experience regression'.


3B J. Heim(19yr old) [starting 3B on depth chart]:
-3B position experience from 167 to 184 (good, makes sense)
-1B position experience from 159 to 158 (bah, lost a single experience point)
-Catcher position experience from 100 to 92 (BAH)


[26 games started at 3B so far, and played 1 IP at 1B during that stretch.]




Seems that Catcher experience degrades faster 1B, probably because it's harder to learn. By the time Heim hit's age 21 he'll probably completely forget how to play Catcher and be just as bad at it as somebody who's never sat behind the plate.
