"However, this does not mean that Babe Ruth will become an outfielder if you start a game when he was only a pitcher in MLB."

But then the possibility is there, right? I can start him playing as outfielder, but with those extremly low outfield ratings he cannot throw back a ball, and that will cost a lot of games until he becomes competent enough. Or eventually one can use spring training matches to train new positions. As I read Ruth first played at 1B during 1918 spring training.
