I claimed a 27 year old with 19 range / 18 arm last season. He's currently listed as 3B 1b, but was hoping by the age of at least 30 he could become a SS. Is this a feasible plan, or just a waste of time? I'm allocating 3 spring trainings + 2 1/2 minor league seasons starting at age 27. He seems to already have at least a little minor league experience at SS too... having played about half as many games at short as at 3B, though not sure if that really means anything?
