With this I am not saying that it is justified that an IF and OF player can and wants to learn to play C.


Although in another thread I wrote that I don't agree with a defensive cap, I think the solution is for players to have a cap at the positions they could play.
for example, if a player only has OF ratings and very low IF ratings when taking him to the lab and tell him to learn a new position could automatically get a message that the player is not able to learn a new position due to his ratings.
Beyond the small sample size, I am not sure that C-to-OF transitions imply a similar feasibility of the reverse. C has a very particular skill set, the elements of which are not really acquired through experience at other positions.
