A player will gain eligibility at a new position in Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball after five starts at that position or 10 total appearances at that position.

Pitchers need to make three starts to become eligible as a starter and five relief appearances to qualify as a reliever.

At the beginning of the Fantasy Baseball season, Yahoo! Sports placed all players into positions based partially on information from official rosters but focusing mainly on past performance. Some players appear in multiple position lists and are eligible to fill any of those positions.

Please note that the following conditions that apply to a player's position eligibility:

• A player's position eligibility will not be adjusted prior to the beginning of the season. (If a third baseman is playing first base exclusively during spring training, the third baseman will not become eligible at 1B until after he meets the criteria for regular-season games played there.)
• Players will not lose positional eligibility during the season, even if they do not appear at the position throughout the season.
• It is not possible to customize this setting within Custom Leagues. All leagues are subject to the same constraints.

To find the number of games in which a player has appeared at a certain position, click their name. You will be taken to their Player Profile. From there, click "Career." You will be able to view the player's statistics for the season and the number of games played at each position.

Players will not necessarily be eligible for all positions listed in their Player Profile.
