I do not think that the game, for example, should decide that Derek Jeter cannot play 2B simply because he does not have enough experience. Derek Jeter can obviously become a competent 2B given the opportunity.

Sure. Guys should be able to move rightward on the defensive spectrum. If a team thinks it’s going to need to move a guy like that off their main position they should have the wherewithal to retrain them in spring training. That’s a completely different animal than saying that Derek Jeter ought to be moved to 2B in spite of no experience on July 1 to fill a hole.
