Like a center fielder with a range rating of 12 is unlikely to ever get a rating at center better than 10. However if you move him to left he can get well above that depending on his arm and error ratings as well.
Perhaps, but as I said, using the options for 'view' and exporting to html, the position rating is the only way to get at the underlying experience, so it's probably still necessary for me to include both in the regression. To be honest I don't fully trust the results of the defensive analysis I'm doing at the moment, but since it seems to roughly reproduce my 'by-eye' assessment I haven't bothered to improve it.
