I think experience will mostly make him at least decent at the alternate position.

These are my sentiments exactly. In the game as it is now, there seems no way to have a Kelly Johnson type player. He moved from LF to 2B very smoothly and looks like he's played their throughout his career. Granted, it should take some time and probably a high work ethic, but it should be possible. Doesn't seem to be so in the game without the use of the player editor.
