With OOTP23 I started a 1947 season with fielding based on current season.

Virgil Stallcup ratings on the 100 scale:

Infield Range: 67
Infield Error: 59
Infield Arm: 59
Turn DP: 61

Position Ratings
Shortstop: 50

Experience at Shortstop: 200

This is exactly the way it is supposed to work.

In order to get a player to learn a new position in the infield, they need to have infield ratings and then need to gain experience at these other positions.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fielding ratings.

Grady Hatton

Infield Range: 45
Infield Error: 40
Infield Arm: 62
Turn DP: 33

Third Base: 36

Experience at 3B: 200

In 1947, the Reds were the worst defensive team in the NL and the Dodgers were the best in terms of defensive efficiency.

Take a look at their starting position players:

C (Ability/Arm)

Ray Lamanno 53/41
Bruce Edwards 42/48

Infielders (Range/Error/Arm/Turn DP)

1B
Babe Young 27/27/25/24
Jackie Robinson 37/24/34/34

2B
Benny Zientara 54/56/41/57
Eddie Stanky 52/71/33/70

SS
Eddie Miller 64/69/55/53
Pee Wee Reese 72/61/63/75

3B
Grady Hatton 45/40/62/33
Spider Jorgensen 48/45/64/50

Outfield (Range/Error/Arm)

LF
Augie Galan 44/58/15
Pete Reser 66/55/50

CF
Bert Haas 70/49/50
Carl Furillo 94/56/66

RF
Frank Baumholtz 46/51/69
Dixie Walker 42/36/38

Defensively, the Reds have an edge at C and RF, but the Dodgers have an advantage at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, and CF.

Reds bench with at least 100 innings at a position:

C: Ray Mueller 75/67
IF: Boby Adams 48/50/30/56
IF: Kermit Wahl 48/46/64/42
OF: Eddie Lukon 47/44/50
OF: Tommy Tatum 70/52/50
OF: Clyde Volmer 76/58/44

Dodgers bench with at least 100 innings at a position:

C: Gil Hodges 44/47
IF: Cookie Lavagetto 47/47/63/43
IF: Stan Rojek 66/60/57/62
OF: Arky Vaughan 47/45/50
OF: Duke Snider 68/57/46
OF: Al Gionfriddo 47/46/50

With real historical transactions and lineups, Stallcup (real 2 innings at SS) played 23.1 innings at SS and Hatton (real 1170 innings at 3B) played 1187 innings at 3B, but neither played any other position.
