Like I'm training a Tulo card to play all the infield positions, even if he's never played another position in MLB other than SS.

If I have to decide between [A] high value of utility players or [B] being able to train players in new positions, I would still prefer [B] and being able to create new utility players. It would be nice to find those in the auction house and see different prices for the same player (Tulo vs Tulo trained in several other positions).
In real life, if asked to play a new position, many would be able to actually learn those positions over time (ex. Dee Gordon playing CF instead of 2B last season). Maybe not as efficient?
I guess it all comes down to being able to evaluate the long term impact on the game a few month from now. Will it hurt to see Trout all over the outfield?
Can Tulo reach 100 in other positions or is there a max to how much he can learn another position?
