[QUOTE=md40022;5032743]I know you're only giving an example, but it's definitely rare to see a guy with a higher potential rating at SS than the other IF positions.

Hah! You are so right! I was thinking that as I typed it. Not sure I have ever seen a middle IF rated better [potential] at SS than 2B. I just went with the obvious if hypothetical and unlikely example. You would want that guy to play SS every day in the low minors, and you would expect to see that rating improve as he neared the 200 mark on experience.

What I do see is IF with high potential at 2B and 3B and SS. Again, that guy is likely a SS, because the good defense is just more important there. But the important thing is to pick a position, so he can gain in proficiency. I suppose some guys are born to be utility types, but that is going to be a hard road defensively in OOTP.
