[USML Announce] Ohtani

[Jeffrey Winick]

We're now close enough to the draft that we need to resolve how Mr. Ohtani is going to be treated.

I believe that our rules ought to treat him in the same manner as ESPN and CBS Sportsline.  In those leagues, he is regarded as one player who qualifies as either a pitcher or a UT hitter.  He can be played in one or the other slots, but not in both.

There are limitless alternatives (for example, in the XFL, my experts league, he is treated as one player that qualifies as either a pitcher or a UT hitter, but can be played as both simultaneously).  But it appears that the industry consensus is the approach taken by CBS and ESPN.

I'd like to propose this as an option.  If anyone would like to propose an alternative, please do so and then we can have a league vote.  Thanks.

Jeff
