What Kerbs just wrote is my view as well. It accommodates in a reasonable and simple manner what may become a more frequent situation.

We just need to make sure our stats provider has that option.

There's nothing to prevent a player from qualifying as both a hitter and a pitcher.  Ohtani can be either at any given time, but not both during the same transaction period, and the active roster has to meet the hitter/pitcher composition rules for each transaction period.  Winick will need to decide where to put him each week, but that's about it.  Is there any construction of the rules that gets to a different answer?

This year, opening day is on Thursday, March 29, 2018, and Passover and Easter are both after opening day, so we have plenty of good options for a date.
