     Many players--mostly in the 19th century and the first two or three decades of the 20th century [although some recent players too],
could both pitch for their teams or play some position like left field or 1st base.
     Does anyone know if it's possible temporarily to move a position player to help the pitching staff, or a pitcher to a position player?  If so, how?

No, it's not possible. That would be a great feature though, some players would become much more valuable.

It can't be done without a major re-write of the fatigue system.

Position players (including DH's) fatigue by PA.  So if you put a PITCHER with 200 PA into your OF, he could play all season long without being tired

Pitchers SEASON fatigue is by Pitch Count... So if you put a HITTER on the mound, he would be able to pitch every game (unless tired by too many PA in games he was pitching).  In game fatigue is a different matter of course, he may pitch worse during a game. 

Since the different types of players fatigue by different methods, they can't overlap without a re-write of how fatigue works.
