The development lab is lacking a feature that I believe would it improve it: allow the manager or general manager to designate which new position he would like a player to learn. Right now, the AI makes that choice and I believe it is limiting the GM or manager's flexibility to work with his roster. For example, I have a second baseman with excellent range and a good arm that I would like to have playing shortstop or ever center field, but when I want to have him learn a new position the AI will train him at First Base and I have no say over this. Similarly, if I have several good hitting catchers, I might want one of them to learn to play at Third Base (ala Joe Torre).

Anyone else like this idea?
