Pokey Reese eligibility?

Just want to make sure I'm following the rules right. Pokey didn't play last year but had enough games at SS and second in 2004 to have eligibility at both positions this year?

Tom and I haven't talked about this yet, but let me clarify. Pokey Reese didn't play in the majors last year, but he did play five games in the minors and he played all of those at shortstop. His qualification for the NFBC would be shortstop only since that's where he played the most games at in the minors in 2005. Had he not played any games in 2005 at the major league level or the minor league level, your analysis would be right and he would qualify at both positions. But that wasn't the case and thus Tom's early reply wasn't accurate.

Pokey Reese qualifes at shortstop to start 2006.

I deleted my post. I missed the games played in the minors last season. Sorry for any confusion.
