2011 Fantasy Baseball Multiposition Eligibility

Posted by Todd Lammi on October 8th, 2010

Okay, now that everyone has had a couple of weeks to take a break from the 2010 season, now it is time to get serious about 2011. Just like for the real professional athletes, fantasy sports has become a year round hobby now. With the increase in high stakes fantasy baseball leagues and the growing number of participants each season, it is being becoming that much tougher to win fantasy baseball leagues every season.

Preparation begins for the following season almost as soon as the current season ends if you want to be able to keep up with the competition. Unlike fantasy football where there is quite bit more luck when it comes to winning, in fantasy baseball, hard work, talent and preparation are going to win out in the end.

To kick of the 2011 fantasy baseball preparation, here is a look at the players that will qualify at multiple positions next season. I have the players split out by American League and National League and you will find two grids below, one based on 20 games and one based on 10 games played.

I always tend toward players that can play multiple positions when it comes to drafting if I have two players ranked close together. This becomes even more critical if you play in a no trade league where roster flexibility is even more crucial. At one point in my 15 team mixed no trade league this season I ad six of my seven reserve players on the disabled list. If that happens, you are going to be thankful for having two to three guys that be moved to several different spots in the lineup to help you field the best roster possible.

Fantasy Baseball 2010 – Multiposition Eligibility

Posted by Todd Lammi on January 25th, 2010

by Todd Lammi

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.

Below is a list of all the Fantasy Baseball 2010 players that qualify at more than position, based on 10 games and 20 games.
