JD this isn't really something new. MLB teams will convert position players (catchers too) but a lot has to do with their arm strength, athleticism, coachability and make up.

Many of the players who were two way players in college drafted for their bats, end up being converted to pitchers.

Sully converted position player DJ Mitchell while at Clemson. His folks and DJ were very unhappy at first. DJ, extremely athletic, with a very loose arm. He was drafted in the 10th round in 2008, and this year reached AAA.
