I don't recall when Stargell gets really bad in LF but historically Al Oliver played 1B in 1969 after Clendenon departed and Stargell stayed in LF. Then Bob Robertson had his two great years playing 1B with Oliver mostly playing OF. It wasn't until Robertson's performance collapsed that Stargell moved to 1B.

Anyway I agree with you on the potential comment. He had 11 current and that or a higher number should become potential with the ability to attain it through playing spring training at the position. Despite talk of the defensive spectrum reality is there are three categories, C, IF, and OF, and a player cannot move between them unless he did so real life.

I tried development only in an earlier version and found that since he comes to MLB as a 1B Al Oliver can never play OF. Development is based only on his initial position. I have no reason to believe this has changed in newer versions.
