But it says for positions that he can play outfield. Is there a penalty for this or should I keep him as a DH? Thanks. http://brokenbat.org/player/86459

As he is young, he can gain experience in OF and still produce for you. Or you can put him in DH. Usually I use that spot for those players that can bat but are a disaster in defense.

He has no knowledge of the position, but 1B is not a difficult position, and again his good fielding skill should help as he learns. (It might take 2.5 seasons for him to fully learn 1B, putting him at 28.5 yrs old. Very close to the "not worth learning a new position age". Though I feel learning 1B does not have the same cost as other positions.)
