Position Eligibility Requirements

[Colby]

GP - Games played
GS - Games started

Currently...
Batters need 20 GP from the previous season or 5 GP from the current season.
Starting pitchers need 5 starts from the previous season or current season.
Relivers need 5 games from the previous season or current season.
Also, we have the following option checked - Use Fantrax's default position(s) even if player qualifies for at least one position based on above criteria:

Also, the following box will be unchecked going into 2011 (it was checked for 2010)... Allow players to play at an ineligible position without making the roster illegal

For starters, I think it's important we keep the 'previous season' criteria, since we need some stability for owners to plan their rosters.

I would recommend raising previous years' SP and RP appearances to 8 and 12 respectively and current year to 6 and 9.

Actually I would prefer 10 and 15 but I could settle for that to start

Another question is how do we deal with a player that does not qualify at either, either a new call-up or played partially at both positions but not enough?

I am all for stricter requirements, 10/15 seems reasonable to me.  Many leagues use 20 games at a position for hitters.

Rookies when called up should be eligible to play in the position they played the most in the minors. In case of a player not playing enough in either position due to injury or whatever reason, he should maintain the position eligibility of his previous season. By the way, I wouldn't mind 10 and 15; I was just throwing up a reasonable number to start the discussion.

Seem like reasonable ideas, but can we implement them in Fantrax?

Yes, there is a position override feature.  I can set the position of any player in the league.  This may be something to look at, but I feel that it would take up a lot of time.
