codyodea 351 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 He's just one appearance at second away from being 2b eligible on yahoo. When I first heard this was going on, I'll admit I was jealous and felt like complaining. Then I realized it's a MLB ruling so case closed. I paid up a pretty penny to trade for Rizzo a couple weeks ago. (E.E +). Point is, you are wasting your time trying to change a MLB rule. Spend those efforts on the horn looking to aquire the next power hitting second baseman instead, it would be more fruitful. One more fellas!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does yahoo get to override official MLB scoring? I suppose they can do whatever they want but it's curious that other platforms seem to be counting those appearances at 2b towards his 2b not OF eligibility. They would be wrong and must be stopped! All that we know and love is in jeopardy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BxBOMBERs28 964 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Would he carry the 2B tag over into next year for yahoo? I'd think he would.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
codyodea 351 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The 9 means, "9 appearances at OF left for eligibility" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure any eligibility you gather throughout the season carries over to the next season in Yahoo. Then, we just watch Maddon do it all again next year and clean up the tears of a poster or two here on this board again. Rinse and Repeat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Highlander72 30 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I love the guys pouting, pounding their hands and feet into the ground crying it's not fair. meanwhile we're one appearance away from 2b eligibility. I'm in a keeper league so I get it for 17' and 18' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just out of curiosity, I got several questions. That is the picture that appears in your head? You convinced yourself that it is fair, because you are the one who benefits? And you need this because you can't beat the other managers otherwise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is fair because its official MLB scoring whether you have him or not, like it or not. No one needs it, but it's not a bad thing to have. And for what its worth, I have him in 1 of 3 leagues and I don't have any other 1B on that roster so it changes nothing for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Low and Away 1,574 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Is it really an MLB issue or just lax rules by the sites we play on? Raise appearances up to 20 and even starts 10 for one site. I don't have him but he will be a game changer this year depending on team build but next year if things stand definitely will be. But it still will be something to adapt to and plan your build around it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think you can change the settings league by league in ESPN. They would have to take it upon themselves to remedy this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TedStriker 276 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is one of the stranger things I've seen and as a commissioner I'm torn. Anthony Rizzo is not a second baseman - full stop. But, due to a goofy loophole, he will gain 2B eligibility based upon league settings that were in place at the beginning of the season. My opinion is that league settings/rules are locked once the season starts and cannot be changed until the next season. This will give one team a benefit for 2017 and in 2018 for keeper/dynasty leagues if the settings remain unchanged. The strange thing is that he could easily end up hitting 20 appearances in 2017 which means that even a switch to 20 appearances wouldn't help other than it would defer the eligibility until later in 2017. In a keeper league you still get the 2018 eligibility. For keeper leagues, each league may need to think of some sort of "Rizzo Rule" or just let it go. In redraft I'd be fine with stripping his 2B eligibility once the season is over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't need it as i have two league titles in a very competitive 12 team keeper league over the past 5 years. I do welcome it as I drafted Roughned Odor high and while he is coming around, sliding Rizzo to 2B PER MLB SCORE SHEETS is exciting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Managing leagues is hard enough without introducing a process of manual eligibility validation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He needs to have a scarlet "2B" carved into his forehead with one of TY Cobb's rusty spikes for this atrocity!All must see what he's done! He must not be allowed sanctuary or respite.Those who speak of him from this time forth will be shunned.Those who aid him will be burned alive and all their belongings forfeit,their offspring put to death and their ancestors graves despoiled.All historical references to the name "Anthony" will be erased from all literature,everywhere,immediately and for all time.

The Waker 213 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So are we just waiting for 1 more 2B appearance for 2B eligibility on ESPN? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Code of Hammurabi 4,375 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For all early season struggles dude is still on pace for 37Hrs and nearly 105 Rbis. Not sure he'll hit 100 Rbis if he stays in the lead-off position, but i'm nitpicking. Assuming that batting average stabilizes around .270-.280 there wont be any complains that a reasonable GM can offer about the season long production. Most owners are looking at a good chance of 1B/2B eligibility for half of the season. Almost irreplaceable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the real donny baseball 266 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I'm surprised with all the base stealing going on last night Maddon didn't do the deed.I wouldn't be shocked if Maddon stopped doing it and just left it hanging there as an inside clubhouse joke for morale.

radioflyer9 59 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Just shifted to 2nd base on that shift they do when the pitcher bunts. Why didn't he get credited for playing 2nd this time!? We only need 1 more game Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radioflyer9 59 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I guess they didn't give it to him! Maybe it's because he didn't field the ball or possibly he didn't switch gloves. Sucks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ragrag 1,494 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Eligibility is updated at the end of the day. It's not instantaneous. If he put on the 2B glove it should be on there tomorrow morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
