Did I miss any? There was a lot of data to pore through, so I very well could have. I also could have listed a player twice, and might have the player's current team wrong. I hope this helps on draft day. I know I will be using it.

Missed

Based on my league rules (min 20 games at a position or max games played at any position), you missed the following who established multiple eligibility last year: Chris Woodward, Gil Velazquez, Jerry Hairston Jr., John Bowker, Jon Herrera, Matt Tolbert, Miguel Tejada, Mitch Moreland, Nate Spears, Orlando Cabrera, Ruben Tejada, Steve Lombardozzi

Also, seems odd to list DH as an additional position, are there leagues where you have to have someone who DH’d? Every league I’ve played in allows any player in the DH spot.

Thanks

I have updated for a few of them
I had Moreland listed as Keith Moreland, Hairston without the Jr.

I did not include Tejada and OCab as I think one or both have retired.
I did include Herrera and Tolbert, but listed Tolbert as Mike, not Matt; and Herrera as Johnny.
