Fine by me....it may be useful for the team owner to send out a clarification
when there is some question over eligibility.

Mark Blocker has asked me to raise an issue with the league.
I have discovered that the current website does not line up with our
league's rule on position eligibility. For 2007, the site requires the league
to set a single value, so it cannot accomodate the normal rule which is based on
either 20 games or the position at which the player appeared in the most games
(if less than 20). Currently, our default is set at 20, which means that a
player that qualified at a position last year but did not play 20 games at that
position cannot be activated at that position.
I currently have this issue with Alberto Callaspo, who I'd like to roster at
3B based on 2007 games played. It seems likely to me that several other
players would potentially be affected as well.
As noted below, I have proposed that we fix this glitch simply be resetting
our default value to 1, and requiring the league's owners to take responsibility
for positioning players consistent with our rules. (The rule would not change,
just the settings on the site.) In effect, this is what we did for years
before all this was automated. Mark notes that we will essentially be on the
honor system, which is correct and which I don't have a problem with.
Mark's other concern is that any changes will be applied retroactively and
might affect standings, etc. Logically, that should not be a concern here,
since it has been impossible to position any player based on less than 20 games
of 2007 playing time. Therefore, there should be no transactions capable of
being affected retroactively. Mark agrees with this from a logical perspective,
but would like me to get league concurrence in case something screwy happens
if/when he makes the change.
Does anybody have a problem with re-setting the 2007 eligibility default to
1 game and having us all take responsibility for position eligibilty for our own
teams? (Winick, of course, will be keeping an eye on all of us.)
Thanks.
Mark

Can we just re-set the 2007 number? We could put it at 18, which would fix
the situation with Callaspo, or we could put it at one and handle position
eligibility on an honor system. In either case, our rules say Callaspo is
eligible at 3B, and that's where I want him.

Mark:
This cannot be fixed. The system determines position eligibility by
number of games played at position in 2007 and 2008 (and we select what the
number is). As to 2007, the number is set at 20 and for 2008 the number is 1.
There is no setting for "most games played at a position."

I'd like to activate Alberto Callaspo at 3B (and reserve Marte). 3B is
Callaspo's primary position from 2007. However, our website does not recognize
him as eligible at 3B. Can that get fixed?
