Add Projected Position

Similar to how there is a Projected Role for pitchers, the AI should calculate a projected position that can used by the AI to assign positions in the minors and would be helpful to use in the draft. The AI would recommend a “best-fit” position using the player’s underlying fielding ratings. The AI should take the defensive spectrum and the concept of comparative advantage into account to so that good fielding shortstops aren’t all projected to be second baseman or all infielders to be projected as first baseman.

I drafted a #1 level hitter, good rangey surehanded 2B with a garbage arm(4/20 rating). Sent him to AAA and he's already like 16 or 17 overall at first. I wonder if the AI is capable of that kind of logical conversion.
