Ronaldinho doesn't play at a true 10 position in Barça, he plays as a left midfielder (obviously with a ton of freedom). Deco is the 10 at Barça.

What does it mean to "play a 10 position"? I realize that soccer position numbers are sometimes numbered, much as basketball positions are numbered (PG = 1, etc.). But what do the soccer numbers stand for?

the 10 is the playmaker, attacking midfielder center

while he doesn't lack for moves, he also doesn't really have the physical characteristics of a finisher. I'd be more inclined to ask this question (ie, should this player be used more forward) of Kaka.

Good point. Kaka is so sick.
