Just played a game against a team who's starting shortstop was injured. He was replaced with Bill Robinson, a player who I like but not rated at shortstop. Regardless Robinson had two ground ball X's to him at short, and handled both cleanly.
I thought if a player had to play a position not rated at, he would get the worst possible rating. Otherwise why stock good fielding backups?
Some tricks not shared with the public?
