Cabrera doesn't move. Look at his defensive GP and GS and CG on baseball reference. He comes out of games which I hope we agree is what we should see in OOTP.

Miguel Cabrera Statistics and History | Baseball-Reference.com

For example the last time Cabrera was a full time 3B he did not play 1 inning at 1B. The previous year to that, he played 3 innings.

Player movement in MLB is less than people think.
