knockahoma said something similar to this about middle infielders in a later post. My experience (at least in the outfield) has been that when I move a good outfielder to an unaccustomed position he fields well, even though the numbers under his name say he has a single digit position rating. There might be an increase in his errors until his experience goes up, but nowhere near this 'error every other game' thing. Note that I haven't tried this with average-to-below fielders, and it may well be true for them.
