The ratings for fielding positions are very strange as they depend on things such as experience as well as the Range/Error/Arm values.

If you set all the fielding ratings (IF Range/Arm/Error, OF Range/Arm/Error, Turn DP, Catcher Arm/Ability) to 250 and set all the experiences to 200 you get the following ratings (regardless of player's actual position)

P : 629
C : 316
1B : 455
2B : 331
3B : 329
SS : 304
LF : 375
CF : 318
RF : 404

so it's never possible to get a 2B/3B/SS rating as high as the maximum 1B rating and that might be why they appear skewed.
