<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Nothin<font size="2">g in Article VI suggests that it's limited to draft day. To the contrary according to Article VI, Section 1, the provision for in-season changes to eligibility (the one-game rule) applies "[i]n addition to" the general rules on position eligibility (the 20-game rule). So the two approaches are cumulative for players that reach the majors for the first time during the season. So the rule is actually explicit on this. Can we at least check with them?<br>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I picked up Jose Miguel Fernandez via FAAB. He currently shows up at onroto as eligible at 1B and CI only (and he has played only 1B in
his three 2018 major league games). In 2017, he did not appear in the majors. His primary minor league position was 2B, where he played 59 games. Therefore, per Article VI, Sections 1 and 3, he is eligible at 1B, CI, 2B and MI. Can we have his position
eligibility updated at onroto? Thanks.<br>
