I need to justify this...

I am considering changing positions for Pablo Sandoval (from 3B to 1B). Reason being, I have a need at 1B and want to acquire another 3B.(Anthony Rendon)
I just can't justify it though because he hasn't played first base much of his career or recently at all and he's a great 3B.
Has anyone else ran into a similar situation when it comes to changing a player's position?
Or just some advice on how to go about it, thanks...

Just looking for some helpful feedback as I try to keep my franchise somewhat realistic
(I know, I know, Rendon's not realistic, maybe R. Zimmerman would be a better choice)

Not unrealistic at all. If I move a guy to a position that is not listed as a secondary position, I usually drop their fielding by 12-15 points or so, depending on what position they're moving from/to.

Re: I need to justify this...

You could add 1st as his secondary position. His fielding attributes will drop 20 percent.

Yep if you play someone in their secondary positing their fielding attributes drop by 20 percent.

If you play someone completely out of position, their attributes drop by 40 percent.

Re: I need to justify this...

I have often thought about changing/editing players positions in my franchise,mainly OF players,say if a team has 2 good RF switching one to LF, but wasn't sure if it was considered fair.

Do you guys change/edit players positions in your franchise,if so what limits/restrictions do you stick to.

Well Zimmerman's already playing 1B, so you'd have that going for you. Pablo then stays at 3B. At 5'10-ish, the Panda would be a bit shorter than you'd probably want for someone manning 1B.
