[BadluckinOOTP]

When OOTP creates center fielders and shortstops, it sometimes makes excellent defensive players who only have any experience playing center. Numerous times (I sim huge chunks of time) I've seen excellent outfielders be forced to play awful centerfield because the game won't convert them to a corner spot because they have zero experience there, especially when they age and their defensive abilities start to deteriorate, but their bat doesn't.

Mike Trout is an excellent example of this. He's only rated at CF, even though eventually he'll shift to a corner spot or first base because his bat will keep him in the lineup. OOTP doesn't really simulate this very well.

I've taken to trying to identify these guys and editing to add other position But I wish there was another way. My solution would be that any natural centerfielder or shorstop would come with at least a little experience at any position to the left or right of them and maybe that would stimulate the AI playing them at new positions. But, that would probably open a new can of problems.
