I think it is likely a false assumption that "only" the Turn DP rating contributes to how well a player converts double-plays.

With all due respect, did you look a few posts up where I ran a season where 8 teams had LF/RF/1B who had no 2B experience and low DP ratings, among many other low IF ratings? Furious and I have run three tests that we've posted results for.
-The first was my initial experiment with one player.
-The 2nd was his experiment that started this thread where everything was the same except double play rating.
-The third was five posts above yours and answers your question pretty completely in my opinion, despite a limited study compared to Furious (see the two linked images). The player we've been discussing a few posts now, Paz, was a 1B in that game and probably should be a DH. His ratings full fielding ratings are Range: 21, Error 39, Arm 25, Turn DP 1. The guy can barely play catch at 90ft, but he turned 100+ double plays. He wasn't the only one, but he should put the idea that DP rating is keying off of anything else to rest.
