BUT the main thing is this, a SS in the MLB CAN play every position in the infield. A CF can play every outfield position quite well. SOME players can field a ground ball and a fly ball with equal ability. OOTP does not generate versatile players well.
I HATE when I see a SS who only has stats for SS. I micromanage so much that I make them all positions.

OOTP does a pretty good job of representing this. Those players can easily switch to a lesser position, they are just missing some experience there that would generate a visible rating. The issue is more with the AI if they do not transition that player when it is obvious they can no longer hack it at that primary position.
