I know that I wouldn't put up with that nonsense, if moving him soured him and caused him to become negative.

This is where /why I'd like to see interaction between players and management
"Player A indicates they would rather not move it 2B
How do you respond?
A) I said so, rook!
B) we feel this is your best chance to reach the majors
C) what are your concerns about moving to 2B?"
User chooses A
Team morale crashes lowering performance and player development.

What would probably be a good compromise, is if personality traits were tied to having a player play out of position (unrated pos.). Like, players with Intelligence, good work ethic...maybe even high Morale, those players would pick up the new position happily and quicker than a player with a poor work ethic and other negative traits. He'll still learn the position and his rating will improve, it will just be slower than the first guy who has good work ethics & good team loyalty, or whatever combination of traits makes the most sense.
If you do ever try to make some of your existing players learn a second or a third position, let us know how the process was for you. Did it take all season or whatever. I'm interested in seeing how things like this workout for other ootp'ers.

I believe that is the case
What the manual says

Work Ethic How strong the player's work ethic is. Players with a strong work ethic can have a positive effect on other players in the clubhouse, and can influence player development. They are also somewhat less prone to slumps. Players with poor work ethic are also more prone to drug suspensions.

It seems some players learn positions faster than others.
Note: I haven't collected data to say this is 100% true, but I would be absolutely shocked to find out otherwise
