NFBC Message Boards

I went through the old posts and either didn't see request on these players, posts were not answered or they never were included on the eligibility lists



1. Alex Gonzalez - SS for Cincy but out all last season

2. Jerry Owens, CHW

3. Anderson Hernandez, 2B, Nats

4. Norris Hopper, Cin

5. Brian Anderson, CHW



Not saying these are even draftable players but I have them on my deep list

Also, since this thread applies to position eligibility:



Travis Ishikawa is showing up as 3B eligible under the Pos. Eligibility link. Should be 1B only

1) Gonzalez - SS (per Greg's post on this type of situation)

2)Owens - OF (most games played 10/12)

3)Hernandez - UT (16/28 games at 2B)

4)Hopper - UT (18/28 games at OF)

5)B. Anderson - OF (98! games)

6. Position Eligibility: The NFBC will use the following position eligibility rules in 2009: a) Players who played at least 20 games at any position in 2008 will qualify at that position for the entire 2009 NFBC season. Players who play 10 games at a new position in 2009 will be eligible at that position after they have played for the 10th time there this year.

b) Players who played less than 20 games total in the majors last year will be eligible at the position they played the most games at, not including DH or pinch-hitting.

c) Those players who only pinch-hit in the majors in 2008 will be position eligible according to their minor-league games played status in 2008. They would qualify at the position they played the most games in the minors.

d) Players who played all of 2008 in the minor leagues will be awarded position eligibility for 2009's NFBC season based on the most games played at all levels in the minors. STATS will determine that one eligible position before Draft Day and that will determine that players' status for 2009 once he is called up to the majors. Those players who only pinch-hit or DH in the minors will only be UT-eligible.

e) Players who played 20 or more games in the majors last year and didn't play 20 or more games at one position will be deemed UT-only eligible in 2009 unless otherwise designated by the NFBC Commissioner. The NFBC Commissioner will rule on player eligibility prior to the draft as he deems necessary. Those eligibility lists are final.

f) Additional position eligibility will be awarded during the season when a player has played a new position 10 times which he was not previously eligible.





===============





Anderson Hernandez and Norris Hopper played more than 20 games, but didn't play 20 games at a single position. Since they don't appear on an eligibility list (and no exception was made for them), they are Utility only.

Good catch Glenn - I stand corrected on Anderson and Hopper

Not saying these are even draftable players but I have them on my deep list 1. Alex Gonzalez: SS. Any player who didn't play the previous year has eligibility from his last year of eligibility. For Gonzalez, that would be 2007 where he qualified at SS.



2. Owens: OF. 12 games, 10 in the outfield



3. Hernandez, UT: 28 games played, 16 at 2B.



4. Hopper: UT. 26 games played. Less than 20 in OF



5. Brian Anderson: OF.
