I'm OK with the balancing moves but they really weren't necessary - although OnRoto doesn't yet have Cordero eligible at 1B, under Mocksports rules he is because that's the only position he's played in the majors this year. You can make him eligible at 1B by going to Commissioner transactions, clicking on Cordero, and add new eligible position near the top. Don't need to do it now, just for future reference.

The rules follow:

Current Season


a) In addition to eligibility based on 3.3.2 (a) above, a player becomes eligible at a position at which he appears in an MLB game at least five times in the current season. This eligibility extends throughout the current MLB season.

b) Players who have not appeared in the Major Leagues in the current season are eligible at the position at which they have appeared the greatest number of times in the current season in the minor leagues or a comparable non-US league, provided the non-US appearances are documented by a source deemed reliable by the Realist. This eligibility may end based on the player’s appearance(s) in MLB in the current season.

c) All batters are eligible at DH (AL leagues) or UT (NL leagues). A non-pitcher may NOT be put into a pitcher slot, even if he appears as a pitcher in a Major League game. A pitcher may NOT be put into a batter slot, even if he appears as a pinch-hitter or at a position other than pitcher in a Major League game. So-called “two-way” players must be assigned to either a hitter’s position or as a pitcher when acquired. This assignment may be changed one time during the current season; after this reassignment, the player will remain as hitter or pitcher until the next regular season begins.

Pre-Season

a) A player is eligible at any position at which he appeared at least 20 times in the Major Leagues the previous season. (If the player did not appear at any single position at least 20 times, he is eligible at the position at which he appeared most often in MLB the previous season.) This eligibility extends throughout the current MLB season.

b) Players who did not appear in the Major Leagues during the previous season are eligible at the position at which they appeared the greatest number of times in the previous season in the minor leagues or in a comparable non-US league, provided the non-US appearances are documented by a source deemed reliable by the Realist. This eligibility may end based on the player’s appearance(s) in MLB in the current season.

c) All batters are eligible at DH (AL leagues) or UT (NL leagues). A non-pitcher may NOT be put into a pitcher slot, even if he appears as a pitcher in a Major League game. A pitcher may NOT be put into a batter slot, even if he appears as a pinch-hitter or at a position other than pitcher in a Major League game.

In 2021 Cordero played 11 games at 1B, 33 games in LF, 2 games in RF, and one as a DH at the MLB level.

I think under the rules highlighted above he is eligible at OF/DH until such time as he has played 5 games a 1B this year.    The 11 games he played last year doesn't qualify him at 1B for this year and he hasn't played 5 games yet this year.


I don't know if I am interpreting this correctly so I am open to clarification.

rules committee may need to look at the sentence highlighted in red

Ed, you are correct, I had forgotten that he played in the majors last year and was just looking at the fact that he came up from the minors this year, in which case he would be eligible at whichever position he had played the most in the majors. Once he plays 5 games at 1B this year he will become eligible there.
We do need to look at the highlighted sentence and maybe just remove it as it no longer applies, likely to be replaced by a whole new clause and rule applying to two way players.

that works for me
