Our constitution states: A batter is eligible at a position if he appeared at that position in 20 games the previous year or 10 games in the current year. A pitcher is eligible as a starting pitcher if he started 5 games the previous year or 3 games in the current year. A pitcher is eligible as a relief pitcher if he made 8 relief appearances in the previous year or 5 relief appearances in the current year.
Does it matter if the player played the required 20 games in the minors or majors the previous year in the case of a batter, or 5 games as a starter or 8 games as a reliever?
