RP/SP Position Eligibility/Rankings and FA Compensation

[Brent]

Looking through the players that quality as RPs for ranking purposes and possible pick compensation, there seems to be a very big issue with many players being SPs now that still carry the RP eligibility.  I think this skews the rankings systems and players that should qualify for pick compensation will not qualify because a SP is bumping them down the list.  I understand that some guys are SP's and longer releivers and do both, however there are many (I can list them) that do not have a relief apperance this season and are over 25 starts.  Some haven't ever pitched in relief in the majors and the RP was just carried up with the from the minors.  I think the guys that have not pitched in relief this season or ever in the majors should have RP removed to more accurately depict who is an RP and ensure that the right players are being ranked.

Elegibility is based on the previous season and the current season.  There may be some players that were not handled correctly.

Yeah, there are a few that had some relief appearances last season and that is understandable.  I know Fantrax doesn't catch everything.
