We can argue what that rating should be, but a manager can always put any player in any position, so a player should have a rating.
It also just clears up one of a number of areas in the game that are "difficult to understand," and makes the game seem more consistent.

I like this, but it's crucial to make sure this is implemented correctly, along with a sensible replacement-level. I'm not sure it can be done right with the current ratings scales. An immobile first baseman from a rookie-level indy league would probably be rated a -40 on the 20-80 major league rating scale at shortstop.
