Suggestion: Tweak position experience ratings
Reason: It seems unrealistically difficult to develop a utility player. Take a guy who has decent range, error avoidance, and arm in both the inf and of and try to play him at many positions, so that when/if he reaches the majors he will have at least so-so ability at lots of positions. It is practically impossible, because by the time one position gets a bit established, a couple others have fallen to the minimum or disappeared.
I suspect the key is this -- playing cf might not add to lf and rf experience, but a player should not lose much if anything from his knowledge of lf and rf. Same thing in the infield, if you are playing ss, I doubt a player is losing much of his prior knowledge of playing 2b or even 3b.
In any case, I know that there have always been utility players who performed adequately at many positions, and it is very difficult to develop such players in this game.
Priority: Medium
