Even Willie Mays has his CF ratings tank in 1953 when he missed a season. This bug needs to be corrected so that the game holds on to the fielding ratings of the previous season if there is a gap season in their record.
Rick Reichardt only played CF in 1964.
Deron Johnson started 153 games at 3B in 1965. He is not at the wrong position. If this is with career fielding, then this is the same issue as with Banks where the game has to choose between either 1B or 2B/3B/SS combined.
Smith in 1965 the game sees as eligible as an OF. I think OOTP uses a low standard of maybe 5% of career games at a position to be eligible. I have always recommended this be set to at least 10%.
Bill Freehan did start 129 games at 1B and did actually have 3 GS at 1B in 1966
Harmon Killebrew was a 3B in 1966.
Tommy Harper started 226 games at 3B in his career even though he mostly played outfield.
Ed Kranepool did play outfield in his career too
The player component ratings of range/error/arm/turn DP/Blocking/C Arm/OF Arm will change each year with 3yr fielding and will be based on their primary infield or primary outfield position.

You are completely missing the point of that test. All of the players listed were unrated at the positions they were starting at. It doesn't matter if they started at the position years earlier or years later. For the season listed, they were NOT rated in OOTP to play the positions they were starting at.
That's the problem.
