from the rules:

"Designated Hitter is considered a position for these purposes (pinch-hitting is not)."

d) Players who played all of 2009 in the minor leagues will be awarded position eligibility for the 2010 NFBC season based on the most games played at all levels in the minors. Fanball will determine that one eligible position before Draft Day and that will determine that player’s status for 2010 once he is called up to the majors. Those players who only pinch-hit or DH in the minors only will be UT-eligible.

This page lists Kendry Morales as DH/UT rather than 1B: http://nfbc.fanball.com/resources/2010- ... y-list.php
