However, if that player moved from 3B to the outfield exclusively in sone seasons of recalc then they will not gavevtheir component infield fielding ratings in those seasons.

So as long as you have a player who is eligible at sone position in the infield then you can try to move them around. Same applies to outfield positions.

I think Markus set this up very nicely.
Would be great if there was a way to turn this off. My pet peeve is players playing out of position. I don't want to watch Cal Ripkin play 2B. Ozzie Smith play 2B. Right now in my opinion it's being used by the AI way too much. Every other game I'm seeing guys with horrible ratings playing positions they never played in real life. In a league I was playing without recalc, the Orioles signed a 30 year old Ozzie Smith. They already had Brendon Ryan a player with superior defensive ratings to Smith at SS, so Smith was sharing time at 2B with Bill Spiers and Dickie Thon. This was with recalc off, but that's probably the way to play now that a player's history isn't really a factor.
