I find it odd that moving a CF to another OF position would result in disaster. Actually, moving any OF to another OF position shouldn't make that much of a drop off. CF's are usually the ones with the best range, so I don't understand how moving to RF or LF should cause them to fall off the face of the earth. They have the other talents required to play the other positions...after all, if they have the skills needed to have a rating for CF, so they have better ratings than necessary for the other 2 OF positions.

I wish someone could come up with something that shows IRL any OF's who moved from one place to another became disasterous.

Most players have played many positions in their life, be it in high school, college or the minors.

Just because they haven't played there in the majors doesn't mean they don't have the skills needed to play other positions. Many times where they play is decided by what the team needs, especially in the OF. There are very few players that played just ONE outfield position their entire career.

I understand that learning infield positions is more difficult, but not impossible.

My opinion is the game makes it much harder to learn a position than it should be.
