I've been trying to figure this out through trial-and-error but figure it might be easier to just ask here...

I have player who has the same defensive rating (70) at both 1B and LF.

When his position is 1B, his overall rating is 64/80 and potential rating is 70/80; when I change his position to LF, his overall rating is 55/80 and potential rating is 63/80.

Given the makeup of the rest of my team, I'd like to play him in LF - would it be better (i.e., will he be a better player) if I change his position to LF, even with the lower ratings, or should I play him "out of position" and keep him as a first baseman?
