I can tell you that in about 1/2 a seasons worth of having almost all my minor leaguers attempting to switch (only one with CP's, 5 of them) I got one total improvement, an OF to 1B who is young and didn't have points. No one else got one improvement despite plenty of chances. Not a worth proposition.

Why not just assume a minor leaguer plays every day, and thus would receive position changes just like major leaguers? I.e., in every game played, each minor leaguer would improve in a new position if one was selected, at the same rate a big-leaguer would improve in that position if he played a game? Maybe you would slightly reduce the improvement rate to account for the lower level of competition and/or not actually playing that position every day. But this way position changes are completely divorced from minor league improvement chances, and no cp/improvement chances are ever "wasted" trying to change positions.

Each minor leaguer should be working on whatever position the GM chooses with NO impact on other improvements!

If he works on the position he already plays his range should improve quickly. If he is working on a position that is similar it should improve at a moderate rate. If he is working on a difficult switch it should be slower.
