one other thing that is important - Range and Speed are exclusive of each other.

e.g. as far as Defense is concerned, a 100speed and 100range player is the same as 0speed and 100 range player at that position.

"turning" a double play is the guy catching and throwing in one motion. *** 3rd base needs aminimum ~25/250 for turn DP to display a defensive rating at 3B in their profile.... double play is mostly useless for a 3b, no worries if they have experience and other good ratings for that base. if i recall, i only saw it once and i think his turn dp developed a bit and eventually showed a rating anyway. so i have a sneaking suspiscion very low ratings can bump up at least a little with very little time invested there.

it really depends on their age as far as what to focus on... and how long will you have them? worthwhile to develop them at a 2nd position etc....

I mostly focus on ratings when they are my prospects in the minors when i select their position. if i want them at a differnt positon, i force play them to learn it with no repercussions to my MLB team.

If it's a free agent or vet on my team, i'm not going to force a ss to learn 2b unless i intend to keep that player for a while... he's gotta work off the damages he caused or it isn't worth it.

i do it quite a bit, though. the season i see a SS start to lose their range (before it's a problem!), i move them to 3b or 2b or trade or allow to be a FA etc... whatever is best at that moment in time giving the opportunites available. when changing positions things like ST helps! timing is important, here. still young and a liess integral cog on your team? send them to AAA for a month.... you can be creative ... just get it done well.
