I'm curious how aggressive or passive everyone else is with this. What percentage of players in your minor league system do you have some sort of forced role or forced position assigned to?

My minor league starters will play 1 or 2 other positions. If they don't have the attributes to play a 2nd position, I'll give em time at dh, only if their bat's halfway decent. I'll typically play my starters at 1 other position every 7 games. My bench players play 1 or 2 positions every 5 games. My starters play 85-ish percent of games per season. I like versatility. My set-up gives players 18ish games/at least 50 AB's at a second position. My bench players get about 100 AB's. I guess I don't force positions so much as use the depth chart, but if bottlenecks happen due to promotions/devotions, I won't hesitate to force position til defensive ratings make me feel OK switching their primary.
