That is music to my ears!!!

Russell, ok now that I know we will be punished for playing guys out of position, will there be a rating for each position? For example, if a guy has a 85 rating at 1B and decide to play in him right field, will his ratings show a drop in game (say a 40 fielding rating)?

Not this year just secondary positions.

Does that mean if someone is a utility infielder whose main position is, say, 2B that his fielding would suffer playing SS or 3B even though IF is his secondary position and in real could be a good fielder?

In general, do the punishments vary by position? For example, does an out-of-position player in right field receive a penalty equal to that of an out-of-position player currently catching behind the plate?

You've posted that already in the correct thread - no need to copy and paste it in multiple.

If you play any player in a position that is not his primary or secondary position he is going to take an 80% hit on all of his fielding attributes. This year it's going to cost you he will be able to catch the ball but not much us.
