He's a 45 in LF, a 41 at 3B, and a 24 at C. He has only played 3B and LF in the majors. Kind of silly for the game to not even let you put him there. He obviously COULD play CF, and it let's you put him in RF, even though he's not rated there. Loss of realism for me. I want to be able to put them where I want, and I decide if I want to risk moving him to a new position. I know there are formulas for coming up with a rating for a new position, and the penalty for being out of position is less for an outfielder in the outfield vs. moving behind the plate or infield. Now, in his case, he's played infield, outfield. and catcher, so he has been all over. That's not the type of player you would try to "tank" with.
