Should I assign every player his best position rating or am I missing something here?
I bought the game yesterday, so bare with me.
Thank you!

OOTP is too loose with defensive position changes.
An outfielder is an outfielder, an infielder an infielder, a catcher a catcher in the game.
Whereas in real life there are nine distinct positions on the field.
But some people have a lot of fun with this flexibility, even in real life.
So it's pretty much up to you whether you'd like to go with the higher rating or try the player out at another position...his rating will go up as he plays said position; and rather quickly. Unless he's out of position. (Then he'll continue to perform poorly.)
So they aren't abusively loose; just too loose for my preference.
