changing position

I haven't played since V5. Word of mouth kept me from playing V6. I tried the demo for 7 and loved it and voila I am back It seems like I remember is V5 that there was an option to change to change a player's position. Is there something similar in v7

If you mean changing his default position, go to his Player Profile opening page. Along the bottom there's a popup menu that allows you to set a position or role for him. (I think the same menu is available if you rightclick on his highlighted name on most screens, but I can't swear to it.)

If you mean training him to play a different position, that's more involved.

In support of good buddy Curtis, allow me to include this passage from the manual on this topic:

Quote:
13.9.4. Learning New Positions
Players learn new positions through practice. The best way to accomplish this is by having them play in a new position. Players learn more quickly when they play regularly in the minor leagues, or in spring training. The more a player plays at a certain position, the more he improves. After he has acquired a certain amount of experience at a position, he will be given a position rating that will display on his profile.

The defensive spectrum is as follows: DH - 1B - LF - RF - 3B - CF - 2B - SS. Generally speaking, the further to the right, the harder the position is to play and the harder it will be to convert a player to that position. Position players can learn to play catcher, but it often takes a very long time, and they typically don’t make very good ones.

Note: A player cannot “lose” positions. Once he has learned a position, he will always have a rating at that position.

Thank you guys. I was just wanting to change positions without training them. I was solo playing a league and I have traded for Jim Palmer and he was a middle reliever and I wanted to make him a starter

Ah, the advice in post two should allow that. In OotPB-speak, that's called a 'role' change, because his position remains 'pitcher', but it's done the same way.

I'd like to thank my lovely assistant…
