Billy Butler only played 11 games at 1B last year therefore he will not be eligible to play 1B this upcoming season.
Prado played 100 games in LF, 41 at 3B, and 2 at 1B, so he is only eligible at 3B and LF.

yes, ESPN goes by games played the previous season for position eligibility. The only difference is with rookies or guys who played less than 20 games at a position the previous year. In those cases they make a decision based on his original position.

So the number of games you have to play at a position to be eligible in this league is 20?

Those are ESPN's rules not ours, we cant change them. And it's 20 games in the previous season, or 10 in the current season. Its different for pitchers but they arent as clear. It's like 3 starts or 5 relief appearances for eligibility.

This was from Brian if anybody need this rule: Thought would post for reference
Go here for the rules: games.espn.go.com/flb/resources/help/faq?name=how-is-a-players-position-eligibility-determined
And I use Baseball-Reference.com to find out how many games they played at a position in 2011.
