I have Chone Figgins in a keeper. In a Yahoo! league it takes 5 games started or 10 games played at a position to qualify for a position. According to Yahoo! Chone has tallied 4 games at short. Does anyone know how many of those he started there ? (It's probably not many of them considering he only has 4ABs there).

I'm pretty sure he's only started one game at Short...

He even has started one game at the position he holds most dear - shortstop

This is from Rallymonkey.com as of August 7th....

his fantasy value would skyrocket with SS eligibility

He already qualifies there this year, but I dont like the chances of him qualifying there next year unless Cabrera goes on the DL again (and even if he does Izturis was an adequate replacement)

i dont really see him losing SS eligibility affecting his value alot... he will still be eligible at 2b, 3b, and all 3 OF spots(for those who use specific OF positions)... add those positions to numbers so far of 41 steals, 288 BA and 86 runs scored and he will be very valuable again.....

he's only had 4 at bats at short, so if he's started one game, he certainly didn't stay there long. And he almost definitely couldn't have started 2...

I hope he ends up qualifying for SS as it makes him that much more valuable.

I think he's most valuable at 2B and he'll be eligible there next season. Thinnest position...

I disagree. I think shortstop has become the thinnest position over the past year or two as far as standard 5x5 roto leagues are concerned.

That's an interesting debate. I think I'm going to do a thread with a comparison. You might be right...
