dola,

It seems to me that if a young player has a natural athleticism, he should be able to learn just about any position. I mean, players in the low minors learn new and unrelated positions all the time, moving from catcher to outfield to second base over a couple of years depending on what the organization wants to do with them. There may be a position they are best at, but I think most players can learn to become decent at any position if they learn it early enough. Learning a new position probably becomes more difficult over time, but almost any 19-year-old should be able to learn how to play LF or 1B with a reasonable level of skill.
