We have been drafting for a month now! Some guys have 30 teams already! I myself have about 10-12 and in those leagues I drafted Utley and Kinsler and made it a point to draft a decent 2B, in most of those leagues I waited to grab Gordon Beckham as MY ONLY 3B!!! Now, just because Flea hears reports about guys like Melvin Mora playing 3B/SS/2B they go and make him position eligible because the Rockies have SAID he was gonna play there????? On Beckhams little square thingy they have THIRD BASEMEN TIERS and HE IS ON IT!!! WHY THE **** are they making him 2B eligible ONLY, BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS!!!!?????? They're backwords, the position eligibility ON EVERY SINGLE FANTASY SITE goes by where they played last year and then, WHEN THEY HAVE PLAYED ENOUGH GAMES THERE THIS YEAR, THEY THEN AND ONLY THEN, BECOME ELIGIBLE THERE!!!
Personally I would prefer to have them establish the positions now and then add eligibility as the season progresses if earned rather than have them take away positions during the season. If Beckham doesn't play any 3B this year then why should he be eligible for the position? Should they take away that eligibility after two weeks if he doesn't play there? Maybe two months? Would it not be better to have them remove excess eligibility prior to the season rather than mid-season?
Who cares what they did last year? Cuddyer of the Twins only played 1B last year because Morneau was hurt and the other backup was too. He probably won't play a single game at 1B this year, so why should he be eligible for the position? Last year was last year.
I agree that the position flipping is annoying, but better to get it done early that later. Plus, drafting 30 teams over a month before the season starts is, in my opinion, kind of foolish. Things are bound to change.
That's neither here nor there, that's Newt's personal preference, he had an itch he needed scratched!? LoL The point is, why allow us to draft guys at a certain position for 6 weeks and then take that position eligibility away and make it something different before the guy has played 10 games there. At least make them eligible at both until they become that other position eligible, right?
