Changing a player's position?

And for my next question...

I drafted what appears will be a long-term prospect for me. Great potential ratings out of high school. He's a first baseman with a pretty low 1B rating.

He's not rated at any other position, but what if I wanted to stick him in Single A ball to learn 3B. Is there a way to do this? Can I direct the Single A manager to teach him a new position?

Thanks for any ideas.

Just put him in the lineup/depth chart at 3B. Every game he plays there, he'll gain a little experience, and as he gains experience, his 3B rating will go up.

Make sure he has a good arm and somewhat decent infield range. If I recall correctly, infield arm affects 3B ratings more than compared to other infield positions.

From the manual, and post changing position:

Quote:
13.9.4. Learning New Positions
Players learn new positions through practice. The best way to accomplish this is by having them play in a new position. Players learn more quickly when they play regularly in the minor leagues, or in spring training. The more a player plays at a certain position, the more he improves. After he has acquired a certain amount of experience at a position, he will be given a position rating that will display on his profile.


The defensive spectrum is as follows: DH - 1B - LF - RF - 3B - CF - 2B - SS. Generally speaking, the further to the right, the harder the position is to play and the harder it will be to convert a player to that position. Position players can learn to play catcher, but it often takes a very long time, and they typically don’t make very good ones.


Note: A player cannot “lose” positions. Once he has learned a position, he will always have a rating at that position.
