I have a stud minor league 1B who I am optimistic I can teach to play a mediocre 3B given his average infield ratings. I believe I could get him to a 4 out of 10 rating by the end of spring training. This would help me out as I have a logjam at 1B/DH and no viable 3B for next year when he would be called up.

My question is: will teaching a new position at AAA (and the struggles that come with it) affect his development as a hitter at all? He has a half season in the minors + spring training to learn, but if learning to play 3B (which he would only likely do for a year) is going to keep him from reaching his potential as a hitter, it probably won't be worth it for me to do it.

Thanks for your thoughts.
