Yandy Diaz - Position Eligibility

Post by jvetter » Fri Dec 14, 2018 10:45 am

Shouldn't Yandy Diaz start the season with just DH eligibility? He is listed at 3B on the Eligibility list. He had 14-16 games at DH depending on how you count the games on 8/23 and 8/28. He had just 9 games at 1B and 3B last season. The rule I am referencing is pasted below for convenience.

I haven't been in a draft yet so I am unsure if he is listed differently in the draft room.

b) If a player did not appear in 20 games at any position, he qualifies at the one position he played most frequently the prior season in the majors. Designated Hitter is considered a position for these purposes (pinch-hitting is not). A player who only qualifies as a DH may only be assigned to the UT position. If a player's most games played at a position is less than 20 and tied among more than one position, the NFBC commissioner will assign eligibility at one position only.

Yes, you are correct. 16 at DH, only 9 at 3B. His position eligibility has been changed to only UT for now. Once he gets 10 games at a different position, he will earn elig. there, too.

Thanks, Darik. Now can you explain the .105 ISO?

He still shows up as a 3B in the draft room.

This could become an issue for people thinking they have a 3b or a CI for the first 2 weeks of the season.

This should be fixed now.

Any progress with the issue of UT only players and the inability to move them from the Bench to active UT position in Set Lineup?

Someone asked about this in another thread last month but never got an answer.
