This has nothing to do with real transactions. I was pointing out that there is a use case in which the game needs to rate every player at every position for functionality. That instance is when you are using real lineups and transactions so that the players are not put into a position without a rating.

Again, if only using major leagues then there is no issue. When these players get extra experience from minor league stats then there are more possibilities for problems. Having the experience decay would cause more problems.

The game may need to be more conservative regarding how it evaluates minor league fielding. Perhaps it should ignore any position in which the player did not play at least 25% of their total games. That may resolve these problems entirely.
