If I have a player that is listed as a 3B, but has ratings such as:

Fielding rating 3B 2
Fielding rating SS 6
Fielding rating 1B 8

and I change his position (label) to 1B, how will that affect AI and player development? anyone know?

It may make a difference for your depth charts keeping him as a 3B. When I see these types of players (those rated better at a secondary position) I usually change their main position to the one that has the higher ratings. If the player above is a great hitter with power I probably would have moved him to SS. 1B are a dime a dozen in OOTP while a great hitting shortstop only comes around every so often......at least it appears that way when I can't find a SS.
