New to the game but it looks very involved and fun. Hope I don't bore you guys by asking newbie questions that
I cannot find an answer to in my readings:

I noticed that some\many major league players have multiple positions listed they can play.
Minor league players seem to have only 1 position listed.
At some of the lower levels I have an abundance of SS only players and hardly anybody capable of playing CF
Can I just stick a SS with decent range and speed ratings out in CF without a heavy penalty? Is that how players
get multiple positions listed?
For example I have a 22 yr old SS in AA with a 78 range, 77 glove, 84 arm strength, 70 arm accuracy but only a 32 speed rating.
Is he capable of playing CF?

From the "Edit Roster" screen, click the player's position. You'll open up a new menu where you can view fielding rating recs and change/add player positions.

Speed does not affect range.

On the "Edit Rosters" page, you can click on the position next to the player's name. You'll get a pop-up dialog that allows you to set the player's primary and secondary positions. Click on the "Show recs (proj)" button and you'll see the recommended primary and secondary positions. Accept the recs and save.

Feel free to play your minor leaguers at any position recommended as primary (best) or secondary (ok).

Also, speed rating has nothing to do with defense, that's only for base running. Range is the primary defensive attribute to be concerned about.

Thanks! There are sure a LOT of things to learn in this game lol.

Ask questions and remember that nothing has to be done "RIGHT NOW!!!"

If you're not sure, don't do it.
