Baseball Reference may help some with this: LINK That's a link to the 2018 season, but you can navigate to other seasons from there. They show the number of games played at each position.

From 2009 until pretty much Beloso, we treated 1B as a second DH spot. Some of them were better fielders than others, but it was almost none of their primary position.

ETA: In 2017, Slaughter played 51 games at 1B to Coomes 33. Slaughter was a pretty decent fielding 1B, Coomes less so.

Pretty sure Coomes had two huge errors at first that cost us the natty vs. Florida.
