Arm strength for second base does matter on turning double plays, but as you said it isn't nearly as important as at shortstop and third base. Arm strength matters in right field to keep guys going from first to third or second to home.
Movement definitely affects homerun percentage in OOTP for pitchers.

No doubt about movement affecting HR percentage. A guy with a higher movement will give up fewer HRs at the same park than a guy with a lower movement. What I haven't tested is how much difference a guy with the same movement will have if moves from a park that is easy to hit home runs to a park where it is less easy to hit homeruns. I am not sure how much park factors offset a lack of movement or make a lack of movement worse. Is the difference big enough where say you can have someone like Jose Lima be an ace in the Astrodome but get shelled at MMP?
