By extrapolation, I then come to wonder if your first baseman had a good TDP and a poor range and error rating. If so, that might explain it.

TDP = 7 (I'm using 1-10 range)
Infield Range = 2
Infield Error = 4

I just was looking at his career fielding stats and he has played 2B quite a bit throughout his career (35 yr old, 13th ML season) so it does make more sense. I guess the question is why isn't he rated at 2B?

Btw, he just won the Gold Glove for 2B, so congratulations to Santiago Rivera!
Players don't receive a rating at a position if the 3 ratings involved don't come up to a certain minimum number. What those numbers are for 2B I couldn't say.
