I have never seen the AI "teach" a player a new position because of duplicated defensive abilities. I have seen the AI play players at positions they never have (nor should have) played during a game but it was because the AI pinch hit for the light hitting shortstop even though there is no other shortstop available on the roster. As a result, Yogi Berra ends up playing short.

I don't think the AI is anywhere near sophisticated enough to recognize that it needs to move Pete Rose to 3rd to make room for Joe Morgan at 2nd. Let alone then moving him to left to make room for Ray Knight at 3rd.

While this would certainly be great if the AI could/would do this, I don't see it happening in the near future. This seems like a huge leap to me.
