Okay, ran a couple of experiments.

In the Pee Wee Reese league I mentioned above, I took over the KC game for a week or so. During that time, I played Miguel Cabrera at SS. I moved KC's actual SS to 1B. Over the 4 or 5 games I did this, Cabrera never received a rating to play SS. Both the actual shortstops that I moved to 1B received the bare minimum Red 20 following their first game played at 1B. One of them then moved up to a Red 25 after a few games at 1B. I then tried Cabrera at 2B for a few games. Again, he never received a rating. I tried him in the OF and he didn't receive a rating either. So it looks like the game does make some type of determination on whether it will allow a player to earn a rating.

Now, in the straight historical league I started in 1919. This league has development turned off. I took over the St. Louis Cardinals for one day. I moved their 2B to SS and their SS to 2B and played out a game. Neither player had ratings for the position they were moved to. Following the game, both players had accumulated the minimum Red 20 at the position they were moved to. So it occurs even with development turned off.
