A sneakier way would be to select all, group them, then get the bottom of the 
group, then ungroup them again. Account for group margins (2 or 3 pixels or 
something). If there are other objects of course that won't help you.

Not tested:

Put -9 into tMax
Repeat with I = 1 to the number of fields of this card
 Put the max (tmax,the bottom of field I) into tMax
End repeat

Create field
Put it into tField
Set the top tField to tMax + 20

Hi script wizards!

I have a card containing a number of fields. I want to add another field,
but position this new field to have its top 20 pixels lower than the bottom
of any of the existing fields.

Does anyone already have a magic script to do this?

I also want to learn something new!
