No Longer Allow Natural Position Changes

[AndyP]

I lean towards simply outlawing this.  All the other stuff is unnecessary.  We have defensive edits.

Unless I hear a good reason otherwise, this should be illegal under the "Don't be an Ass" rule.

Because there is no rational position to play the speedy 2B/SS otherwise. Even with defensive edits, they don't always get other positions added. Even if they do, they don't fit the 1B or DH profile. Because of this, they're just stuck in purgatory.

It's preposterous that Mogul would even create players as poorly as it does at 2B/SS when the quality needed to even tread water in the league is so high. That's why giving them a position to be useful makes sense.

Why wouldn't we use that logic for any player? "This guy has playable vitals for power and eye but his contact is so low we just buy a WB slot to fix his contact"

We're not in the business of artificially fixing the warts of mogul player development. Last I checked, in real life there are plenty of guys who face this exact issue. And most of them just simply end up not playable because of it.
