Apparently Melvin Mora has Played 9 games at 2B (according to Yahoo), therefore he is only one game away from 2B eligibility.

This would be great for my team ;-D

, But I was wondering if anyone knew when these 2B opps were coming.

Was he playing 2B, just as a result of a switch during in Interleague play (And Now since Interleague is over, would greatly decrease his chances of getting anymore).

That 9 means he needs 9 more games at 2B to gain eligibility.

Actually Yahoo shows him as having played one game at 2B and if you're in a Yahoo league, the eligibility is 5 games.......

Click on the player, go to his career stats and check games played. Not sure what you're looking at but the 9 games thing is wrong.

I am pretty sure different leagues have different # of required games to be eligible. I dont think yahoo has one set # for all leagues. I dont use yahoo so i am not sure but i cant imagine they do.

He needs 9 more games played at 2B to gain eligibility. In Yahoo you need 5 starts at a position or 10 games played at a position (regardless of whether you started there or not). I'm thinking he must have moved over to 2B late in a game and that's how he got his 1 appearance. He won't get 2B eligibility this season.

It's 5 starts, 10 appearances for all Yahoo leagues. You can't change it for your specific league.

On the position eligibility list it says how many more games are needed. So it has a 9 because he needs 9 more appearances.
