You can easily see this by looking at the correlation of DPs by 3B and their turn DP rating.
See my above post, though I'm not sure what you're getting at exactly in this statement. This was a player we all assumed was a 3B and 3B only who I moved to 2B.

The reason 3B don't turn as many DPs in OOTP isn't due to their rating, it's that most of their innings are at 3B and they don't have as many opportunities.
