Okay, accidentally hit "Enter" before I meant to post.

If you have a minor league position player, what does "Play" mean? Like you can develop them to play a second position?

just saw that the other day. Assuming that's what it means. Say if you have a hole in your minors or a guy you think would be better suited at a different position, have him play it in the minors to get him used to it.

It's the "position you wish him to play in the minor leagues". If nothing is selected, he will play a variety of positions and get a little bit of positional experience at multiple positions. If you select a particular position, then we'll gain positional experience in that spot.

This could probably be useful in the majors as well. I’m thinking about the players on the bench.

How about a new ‘Play’ column in the Batting Lineup table that shows up after hitting the Update Lineup button?

There we could set any position, including DH, to any player on the bench that is not a backup.

Actually, it would be much simpler to temporarily send players in the majors to AAA, set the position we want them to play there, and then bring them back to the majors.

All it would take is a change in the game engine to take this setting into account in the games in the majors the same way it's already being done in the minors games (Spring Training).

How long would it take before they get used to their secondary position?
