With Toyoda at 3rd and Love at SS coming up(4pts up in fielding last couple years and probably more coming). 2 20 arms on the left side, I would probably leave them alone. You could switch them maybe, but haven't played long enough to know if it's worth it. Maybe some of the veterans who play the game would know better. Thats 2 Asian League signees with initial SI of 104 or better this year. Nice catch though!

You give him training at the position you want him to play by selecting a position you want him at on the "Minors" screen. It is that drop down menu next to each position player. Very often his drafted position is not the best position considering what his end skillset will be. This can gain you multiple wins by having people play the best position their skillset is designed for. Edit: Looked at Love, his 14 range is significantly lower than Toyoda's 18 range, and their fielding and arm look similar. You want more range at shortstop than 3B considering the way that defense is calculated. You have time to switch their positions (Love at 3B and Toyoda at SS) if you start right now, but considering their ages if you don't make the switch soon it may be better to keep them where they are because if they don't have at least the small letter position by the time they are ready for the majors then it would be a very painful repositioning in terms of errors.

Got this guy:- http://brokenbat.org/player/125938 See if his bat ever comes along, but an excellent fielder, 98 SI/13 POT in round 4? I'll take it. Surname straight from The Usual Suspects, too!

It is nice to have to make tough decisions. Oh and for the guy who picked the Asian guy with all 18 or above fielding skills, put the guy at SS. especially in VI it isn't going to hurt you that much. I've trained my entire infield in the job in the majors. Not ideal, and I make a few more errors than the I'd like right now, but I'm happy with where my team is overall because of it.
