His outfield defensive ratings did not change either. He has far more experience at LF than 2B, where he is currently rated, but OOTP has not added a positional rating for him at LF. It appears that OOTP has locked the resulting ratings for certain positions, so experience has no effect and cannot create a resulting rating.

I don't understand the example. You say dev should be independent of RL stats but you tested a player who has RL stats at the tested position.
For historical players I think they should be able to be trained to play any position they played anytime in RL at any time in OOTP. I don't like it at all that Caesar Tovar loses his IF ratings at a point then gets them back later. However a player who never played a position category RL should not always be able to do so under dev only. Perhaps most of he time he should not.
