Sorry, but no. Someone with no rating makes significantly more errors, and I don't have stats, but probably fields less balls that go as base hits. I fear for my veteran 3rd baseman too, who is a gold glover potential 3B, good range, great arm, few errors, but can't turn a DP. His fielding may decline for all I care, it should be good enough to play 3rd for the rest of his contract, but if the game decides that he can't turn a DP anymore and therefore suddenly isn't a 3B anymore, I'm probalby forced to move him to first.
This system of "if the ratings drop below a certain point, the player loses all experience" is frankly stupid, and leads to unrealistic situations. If I play a player at a certain position, I want him to become better there with time, not stay as bad as the first day out there, because one of his ratings is just below a threshold. Players with weaknesses are a thing, no one gets from "gold glover at third" to "never played a game at the hot corner" in the space of one rating adjustment.
