I had a related suggestion: I wish there was a way to have a player train at a new position rather than playing him at that position during a game. In spring training, but also during the regular season. It happens all the time in real life. Players seem to learn new positions so slowly, even if their work ethic, adaptability and intelligence ratings are high. I do believe it would be a benefit to have an option to have a player train a new position (or practice one he already plays) to quicken this process.

In a league I played a while ago, I acquired Tim Anderson because I needed some more speed. I had a good shortstop, so Anderson was pretty much relegated to pinch running. I wanted him to be something of a super utility player, so I wound up sending him to AAA to learn third base, left field and center field. I forced the AAA manager to start him at each position until I was satisfied with his rating at each position. I brought him back up and he wound up being my everyday center fielder. I would have rather kept him on the big league roster and have him learn the positions daily than send him down to AAA.
