In a vacuum, the rules are different than they are in Circumstance X. If we were all drafting our rotisserie teams from scratch... absolutely amigo, tack on +12 runs for a guy at catcher providing the same stats as a guy at Default Position. (No position gets 0.0 adjustment, LOL.)
Perhaps you would even tack on -17 for the guy who can only play DH. Or not: a particular team's needs vary, but obviously IN A VACUUM a shortstop hitting .300/.350/.450 is worth a whale of a lot more than a DH doing the same. We all know that.

A particular team -- say, the 2010 Mariners :- ) -- could be casting about for somebody, anybody to drive in a blinkin' run and if so, Babe Ruth at DH for $25M might be the straw that stirs the drink.
I'm a positional scarcity guy myself. More so than most people! It's just that specific teams might find themselves in idiosyncratic circumstances.

Excellent series of posts LR. Keep 'em comin'.
