Real Mock #1 Discussion Thread

I have mixed feelings about Reynolds. I agree that finding 25-30 hr's in the 14th round of a 20 team draft is very nice, but I feel like your team has to be set up the right way to absorb a Reynolds/Dunn type, or you have to be doing a mild AVG punt. I couldn't absorb him, personally, but he's a nice fit on the right team, for sure.

I considered Reynolds but passed on him for Moreland. Reynolds has gone from AZ to Bmore to Cleveland. Not only home but to a certain extent division road venues keep getting worse for him.

Yea I certainly won't end the year in the top 1/2 in BA, but the plan is to finish top 5 in the 4 counting stats.

Exactly. I thought about him at 12.20/13.01, but I didn't think I could afford him with Uggla on my team already.

Determining position eligibility in Fantasy Baseball

ID: SLN6766

Refers to: Fantasy Baseball




Description


This article will explain how initial position eligibility was determined,
and how a player gains eligibility at a new position in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy
Baseball.


Resolution


At the beginning of the Fantasy Baseball season, Yahoo! Sports placed all
players into positions, based partially on information from official MLB rosters
but focusing mainly on past performance. Some players appear in multiple
position lists and are eligible to fill any of those positions.

A player will gain eligibility at a new position after five starts at that
position, or 10 total appearances at that position.

Pitchers need to make three starts to become eligible as a starter, or five
relief appearances to qualify as a reliever.

Please note the following regarding position eligibility:

• A player's position eligibility will not be adjusted prior to the beginning
  of the season. Example: If a player who was a third baseman
  primarily during his career is playing first base exclusively during spring
  training, the third baseman will not become eligible at 1B until after he meets
  the criteria for regular-season games played there.
• Players will not lose positional eligibility during the season, even if they
  do not appear at the position throughout the season.
• It is not possible to customize this setting within Custom Leagues. All
  leagues are subject to the same constraints.

To find the number of games in which a player has appeared at a position,

1. Click Position Eligibility under the "Players" tab on your
   league homepage.
2. Type their name into the available field | Click Search.

Each number displayed is a countdown. For example, "6" means "six games
remaining until eligibility," not "six games played
at that position."

If an E is displayed at a position, the player is already eligible at that
position.

Please note: Players will not necessarily be eligible for
all positions listed in their Player Profile.

If you would still like to voice your opinion on a
particular player, feel free to provide feedback to Yahoo! Sports directly.

We will continue on with the fifteen game eligibility for this draft. I posted the above since some have asked for it.

Looks like ITC has timed out and silentmist is up...

Miley was the other guy I was considering last round, nice pick.

Counting on some Rays magic to make Kelly Johnson a viable fantasy play. Given their depth, if his AVG is a black hole he probably finds the bench and doesn't kill me too much there. But there aren't many MI left who can get you double digits in homers and steals.

The peripherals say Burnett's 2012 was no mirage. He just wasn't suited for Yankee Stadium. Needs to stay healthy, though.

His injury last year was fluky. Maybe he is one of those guys who gets healthier with age. I agree that he was for real last year. He is a good pick here. Very nice GB% last year.

Sorry boss, won't let me in...says there are too many teams from last year and I need an invite.

Yep...

There was a problem

There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. If you were invited to take over an existing team, please click the link in the email you received to join the league. To create a brand new team, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning. (Error #638)
