Knowing who is un-movable and who isn't is always a challenge. A-Rod only played SS IRL, until he didn't.
I mean, we could always cheat and look at their real career to determine how well they can learn a position. But then it also seems a little unfair that I can train a 22-year-old A-Rod to play 3B, but I can't train him to play 2B. Or that I can't train a 22-year old Jeter because real Jeter didn't want to move.
As Rain King's point, the problem with everything is that we could talk to 20 people who want to play a historical (or random debut) mode, and we'd probably get 50 answers of styles of play that they would like, when players can or can't be trained, which pieces carry over, when ratings can or can't change, etc... We can't please everyone, so we just have to try our best to set up a system that works for most.
