Here is a list of all the Fantasy Baseball 2010 players with multiposition eligibility. This list is especially helpful for a number of reasons.
1) Players with multiposition eligibility have a little more value than a player at one position when comparing similar stats. For example, you may have Pablo Sandoval and Joey Votto in the same tier at first base, but the flexibility of having a guy that can play two positions slots Sandoval ahead of Votto then.
This becomes more critical playing in a one year league where injuries always happen. It also gives you more flexibility when grabbing a player from the free agent list the more ability you have to shift your lineup around to get your best counting stats in the lineup.
2) Players with multiposition ability have a better chance of getting playing time. This becomes important in larger leagues, 15-20 teams, or AL or NL only leagues. The ability of Omar Infante to to play three positions means he can get 300-400 at bats this year as a reserve, and he is someone that you can grab late or cheaper in an NL draft or auction league.
3) Multiposition players are a great source of end game picks in an auction format for AL or NL only leagues. Finding a player for $1 or $2 that can get you 300 to 400 at bats in a only league is of great value. If miss out on a position, say shortstop and you are scrambling for a player at the end of an auction, knowing you have three to five options available to choose from is better than knowing only the shortstop qualified players which might leave you stuck with a hitter that gets only 50 to 100 at bats.
