From 1B to DH

[Amazinz]

Hafner played 11 games at first so he should qualify there in a lot of leagues.

It would suck having to use up a UT spot for him.

He'll qualify at 1B in my SportsLine league but not in Yahoo where most of my leagues are.

According to Yahoo Ortiz played 34 games at 1b so he "should" still qualify. Hafner on the other hand played only 11...he's strictly DH.

You're right. I just assume that he had less than 15 because of this post but he does still have 1B-eligibility so it's a moot point.

My bad on the ortiz thing. I've seen in other posts that he was gonna lose eligibility, so I just assumed it to be true.

About the value, I think these players may be undervalued because of their not having a position. Therefore more experienced/knowledgeable players could draft them for greater value than when they had 1B eligibility. Thoughts?

I think their value is a fine line that depends largely on league setup. If you have several Util spots, it's no big deal. But in some leagues there is only one Util, so you have to choose carefully there. Overall though I'd say their value doesn't take too much of a hit since there really aren't that many that are going to be on most standard sized rosters.
