For the career defensive ratings in the file we have range/error/arm/turn DP for a combined 2B/3B/SS and another for 1B.
For Banks, his primary infield position based on innings played is slightly more at 1B than SS + 3B combined, so the game sees him as 1B in this instance.
This is a limitation of the fact that the game only has one set of infield component defensive ratings, so when it makes those ratings, it can either pick 1B or the 2B/3B/SS version. Banks is really the only major player affected by this because it is very rare that a player is none as much for playing 2B/3B/SS but yet has more defensive innings at 1B. If you use 3yr fielding for Banks, then he will be rated properly at SS during his SS seasons.
Aaron is also seen as a 1B as an infielder because he has far more innings at 1B than 2B+3B combined. In this instance though his range/error/arm/turn DP even at 1B is enough to play some 2B.
A player needs much higher component ratings to play SS than 2B. A player needs a much better arm to play 3B than 2B.
