I'm not sure about Battle, but Bartee is considered athletic, so Carl (and Gun, for that matter) felt that he had the potential to convert to corner, without giving actual thought to the fact that corner technique requires both good instints, and years of practice for most.
Dale Carter was a rare exception.
They seem to have forgotten about the pevious failed effort of converting Woods to corner.

IIRC, Battle was supposed to be just as athletic if not more so than Carter.
