For example, let's say you have a guy listed as a shortstop and you expect to play him there when he reaches the majors a few years down the road. Should you play him at short in the minors? Will that make him better at short? Or should you train him at something like third or in the outfield just in case you might end up needing him there?

I have a very short bench in the majors, so some utility guys are a must.
