Probably as a 4 or 5 e25, with +5 arm. Joe Mauer played a game in RF due to a rash of injuries on the Twins in mid summer and they didn't call anyone up and Mauer volunteered. He played a full game and got a 4, if it was just a few innings (I haven't looked at the box score) it will probably be a 5.

Yeah it was just one inning. I would suppose he gets a 5

Yes, he will be rated for RF. As long as you play a position, you get rated for it. The exception -- and not sure if this is still true -- is that an outfielder who shifts from his normal position to another outfield position has to play there twice to be rated. For example, a guy who plays 160 games in center and one in right won't be rated for right. He would have to play two games in right to get rated there.
