What I've done, if I find a player who has ratings in both batting and pitching, is make them a 2-way player. If the player doesn't develop the way you expect (which is often), you can still use him. Example, I took a SP with a 60 Gap potential (much better indicator than contact or power, BTW) and had him play 2 ways. 2 years later, he had a 6 ERA and a 10 ERA for my GCL team; meanwhile, he had a .362 OBP, as a 3B. I switched off using him as a 2 way player. 2 years later, he's hitting .270 at AA with above average power. If I hadn't used him as a 2 way player, he would've just wasted away as a rookie league pitcher.
Added bonus: I will often purge the rookie leagues (because how are they going to develop, if there's 75 players?) and sometimes I'll be left short-handed, meaning 2 way players come in handy.
