Most know that I like to use the Natural Position Change, but I’m willing to see it go, if there’s an acceptable process put in its place. I’d be fine with seeing the Natural PC no longer be allowed, if you can switch a SS or 2B to CF (with LF and RF added as well). It would cost $10M (just like WB) and take up a WB slot. The player’s speed will determine how their new vitals in the OF will look. GMs caught trying the Natural PC will have the PC reversed to the player’s previous Predicteds at the position, be charged $10M, and not allowed to do any WB for the current off-season.
So, how will it be policed? We have enough GMs who go through rosters for tanking and notice PC attempts already. So it’s simply the league’s responsibility to bring it to Andy’s attention and from there it’s a clear-cut right or wrong. So, to recap as if it were a written rule…
Position Change to Outfield
1. Trying to naturally PC a player to a new position is no longer allowed.
2. Teams can use a WB to change any true 2B or SS to CF (LF and RF will be added as well). They will have all infield predicteds removed and only be listed as an OF.
3. The cost for this is $10M and will take up a WB slot.
4. Players will have the same arm and fielding in CF as their profile shows them in the infield. Players with 80+ speed will have the same range. Players with 75-79 speed will have their range dropped 2-3 points. Players with sub-75 speed will have their range dropped 5 points.
5. Teams caught making a natural PC will have it reversed to the player’s previous predicteds at that position. They will also be charged $10M and will not be allowed to do any WB for the current off-season.
Finding these out are 100% up to the league and Andy only has to look into it if it's brought to his attention.
