Pitching Eligibility - SP -RP - P

Pitching Eligibility - SP -RP - P

Rules are SAME as last year! 

Starting Lineup (5SP, 3RP) and Eligibility rules* are same as last year. 

NEW: *All Pitchers now  tagged with  (dummy position) P. 

1) Players tagged eligible with just: P are either rookies or cup  o'coffee guys from last season who have not met minimum appearances for eligibity at SP or RP. 

a) Pitchers with only the P  tag/position may still serve as one of your active 5 SP or 3 RPs....  True Rookies can start at their one Obvious position while in minors, either RP or SP.

b) Rookie Ps with just a few games of ML B experience - but not enough.for eligibility - may start  where they have a majority of appearances (SP or RP).. If appearances are tied 1-1 or 2-2, owner may choose either RP or SP.

c) You will use P position to put Newbies into your starting lineup as either SP or RP....   Both You and Commissioner will be aware if your P is actually an SP or RP....   Each owner can either figure this out for themselves or else contact commish to confirm what is correct.

HITTER POSITION ELIGIBILITY AT THE NEW UT

Just as P has been added as dummy position for all Pitchers, UT is the new dummy position for all Hitters.

If a Hitter has UT as his only eligiblie position, he did not meet the minimum of 10 Games Played at any one position in 2017.

Owners may start a UT (with zero mlb games) at his one Obvious and Primary position in the Minors. 

Owners may start a UT (with Some mlb games, but Less han minimum to qualify) at the one position where he has accrued most appearances.

You will enter him into your lineup as a UT, but it will be "known" that owner has either employed the player correctly or asked for guidance.
