I agree, since he's played nearly all of his games in CF as a major leaguer, he should have high experience there. And considering he has played a whopping 5 games in left as a pro, I would say his LF rating should be taken down as well.

Teahen has the abiltiy to play 2B, you would just have to use him there. Since he did work at 2B in the spring, we should probably consider giving him a very low amount of experience at second.

For their careers, Butler has a UZR/150 of 1.7 after 90 games started; Jacobs has a UZR/150 of -9.2 after 381 games started.

I agree with all of this and have already made notes of these changes. Jacobs should be a butcher, even at 1B.

I agree with the RF comment, though because he played RF in Arizona. Remember, this doesn't reflect anything that has happened this year, so if Dunn had never set foot in RF before 2009 we wouldn't give him experience there.
