Messagebringing minor league games played into the equation opens up a whole new realm of prep required for young players. not to mention it makes the position eligibility rule more confusing. i think it's nice and simple right now, yet has a little flexibility with the nomination rule..

the only way minor league games would come into the equation is if player played zero MLB games the previous season. then the most games he played at any position in the minors would be where he's eligible. once he's played one MLB game, that would take 'precidence'.

i think you're just throwing a matt wieters smokescreen up anyway!

MessageThe H-Bombers have always been strong supporters of fat players. I'm still dissapointed in Sandoval ruling by the way.

Messageyeah, that's right.. any games played by position web site link won't show you minor league games..

the rule shouldn't even read "if injured", that's irrelevant.

i nominate sandoval at 3B. seconder?

MessageSo I take it the meaning of the constitution is supposed to read that the player qualifies for the majority of games played at the major league level the previous year because if you look at his games played for the entire year the majority were at catcher including the minor leagues.

Messagesandoval only qualifies for 1B.
2008 MLB games:
C-11
1B-17
3B-12

"If a player was injured and played less than 20 games, he is eligible to play only at the position that he played most frequently."

he could be nominated for catcher or third base, but all i've heard on him is that he's their third string catcher and "is concentrating on third base exclusively this spring" (rotoworld)...

so, if nominated, i think he'd gain 3B eligibility, but not catcher... not yet anyway.. 10 games at catcher during the year and he can slide right into your catcher spot.

while we're at it, alexei ramirez's SS nomination is confirmed.. last two of last three games+ at short.. oct 31st, rotoworld (old i know) "According to the Chicago Tribune, Alexei Ramirez will move from second base to shortstop in 2009."
