Ty Wigginton now has 2B eligibility. Dual eligibility players really help when you set your lineup. Also like that I can move Teahan from infield to outfield and back. Just curious, who is the best dual eligible player?

I don't know who it will be at the end of the season but I imagine Ben Zobrist came into the season as the highest rated dual eligible player.

For the sake of opening up the discussion, one can argue there is a difference between "best" and "of highest raw value."



Someone like Jerry Hairston is GOLD in deeper mixed and NL only leagues.



Prado and now Polanco and Beckham are nice with their 2b/3b eligibility.

VMart may have had duel eligibility but no one should have considered him for anything but a catcher. In straight drafts, he is 3-5 rounds higher because he is a catcher. Also, in auctions, I would guess at least $6-$10 is based on being a catcher.
