Some generated third baseman have great range, great arm, few errors, but bad DP rating. Those guys usually have a elite rating at 3B, that drops suddenly to zero. Now this guy after a normal decline, not the very rare sudden catastrophy, should be still a very good third baseman, not someone that shouldn't be playing there, which the no rating is supposed to indicate.
And, even if someone is actually a bad defender at a certain position, that still does not mean he should not play there. There are only 1(1B, NL) or 2(1B, DH, AL) obvious spots where bad defenders will be moved if their bat still merits playing time, and 3B is along with LF next in line. If I have a .900 ops hitting 3B, I won't bench him, as long as he fields his position with anything remotely resembling a professional ballplayer.
