I went through all the batters, looking at fielding experience ratings to see if any players were missing positions. A few suggestions:

Brandon Inge- was a fulltime catcher for three years in the majors, and not a bad one at that; he's only playing 3B because of I-Rod. He should have experience and ratings that are near average, maybe below because of rust;

Chad Tracy- all of his outfield experience should be in RF, not in LF;

Miguel Cabrera- played 100 games in RF in '04, so he should have a bit of experience there;

Ben Broussard- should have some experience in LF, and maybe in RF (he's started 11 games in the outfield this year, and was an outfielder in the minors);

Jayson Werth- came up as a catcher, after starting out as an infielder. LA considered using him at catcher, so he should still have some skills there, if below average, and some experience;

Scott Hatteberg- should have a lot catcher experience, but should have an absolutely awful arm (he threw out only 9% of basestealers in his last season as catcher);

Josh Willingham- played catcher for several years in the minors, but had 4 passed balls in 70 major league innings, and threw out only 1 of 9 basestealers. Should be very, very terrible in catcher ratings, but with some experience;

Melvin Mora- was a superutility type until 3 years ago; he should have a lot of LF experience and CF experience, even if his OF ratings should be bad. He has also played a lot of SS, though he shouldn't be competent there now;

Corey Hart- came through the minors as a 1B, then a 3B (although he was terrible at third- tons of errors);

Pat Burrell- has played some 1B in the majors.
