Be aware that the player must have a certain set of default skills that fit the defensive spectrum in order to develop a position rating. If your backup 1B is a true 1B then it might be difficult to play OF. More likely that a backup IF OF or catcher could make the switch with better results. That being said OOTP does not punish low defensive ratings enough IMO.
