Yahoo position eligibility - who's value just rose?

[LBJackal]

Tex played 7 games last year in the outfield. We might see him benefit from this....

He only started 4 in RF... missed it by one game. Figgins and Huff on the other hand get added positions; SS and OF respectively.

Guys guys, you are overreacting! If they played less than 15 games last year, they dont have that position. It only applies to games played this year. So, Hafner would need 5 games at first to get that position, and I would say unless there are injuries its going to be tough for him to reach that.

I'm pretty sure it's retroactive... I think it was Pedantic that eMailed and was told that it applies to last year's GP/GS as well. I'll go look for the thread.

EDIT to add:

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

If a player started 5 games at a position last season, he will have that eligibility for this years game. And if a player starts 5 games at a new position this year, he will gain that eligibility in the game.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

Regards,

Lloyd
