You may be right but it could be the game telling you something. For example if I took a good defensive SS and had him learn 2B my expectation would be that he would be good quick. IRL most drafted and international FA SS are streamed to other positions because their skills don't fly in the majors. That means even fewer young 2B would be considered unless blocked by a better SS.

If a player is a highly rated prospect and projects well defensively, teams will not risk his development by treating him like a utility player. Marginal prospects are plentiful for that purpose.
