re: FSBDL Championship: 8th Seed RDR wins Ship

I just think it's an interesting case study. What if a stud prospect is catching all year and gets called up in Sept and hits and plays first for 10 games. Does he lose his C?

A versatile prospect like Baez has 1 month to get elig at all the positions he plays. Kind of impossible.

Fine either way. My initial question on post season games counting was legit though. If it doesn't, It doesn't.

Mondesi was a special case where his situation wasn't clearly defined in the constitution, so a ruling was made.

Position eligibility is clearly defined in the constitution.

My understanding is that a player will never lose positional eligibility mid-season.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct, he would lose it for the next season. At least until he has 5 appearances at C.

I don't think MiLB positioning matters imo. It should be based on MLB positioning, if not for the mere fact that that's what fantrax counts

I mean, that's just the way it's been in any league you play in. It's an MLB league counting MLB stats etc. minor positions is irrelevant to me

I don't think the commish can go in and give him SS eligibility. It appears fantrax only counts reg season. What can we do?

gotcha...sounds like he is bitching for the sake of bitching.

Just love some creamer and contradiction with my

if you can apply postseason games to Raul Mondesi, with the way the rule is written, you can apply postseason games to Baez too.

Mondesi:

quote:

---

c) Once a player has played in a MLB game, he can be moved back and forth from the minors to the active roster until the threshold is hit.

---

Baez:

quote:

---

E. Position Eligibility
1. Players gain position eligibility by playing 10 games the previous season or 5 in the current season.

---

why, for Baez, does "game"= regular season, by default, and for Mondesi, "game"= regular/postseason?

what happened here, and it is ok to admit, is that no one saw another loophole when we allowed Mondesi to be put on the MLB roster.

the rule wasn't written in full detail, but we kind of all knew that it should be regular season games only, by default, unless otherwise specified, especially now that there is a loophole with position eligibility.

With that said, I agree with Rondo, id rather revert Mondesi back to a MiLB than grant Baez that position eligibility. An easy way to fix this would be to make postseason games irrelevant to any eligibility rule.

You can't manually give him SS eligibility regardless

The frick you want to do?
