2B.

The current thinking of Curt and I is that he has been more of a
OF and part-time player at 2B, so he would have to wait to gain
eligibility at 16 games. If he is announced that he is going to
be moving to 2B or SS full time as their started going forward
then that would be a different situation and something we would
be more willing to grant.

Activating Joey Gallo and dropping Trevor Larnoch
If anyone is interested in Drey Jameson or Alex Cobb I'd be
willing to trade either for a MI or RP.

It is 100% to block you from gaining an advantage. you are my
competitor. If they announce he's the starting 2bman or
starting SS there is precedent, but if he's just roving all over
the field, players should have to wait till the eligibility
rules are met. otherwise why have them? why not just set the
games needed to 5. By your logic any player that has a few
starts at another position should be "petitioned" and
immediately gain eligibility. His primary position is still OF.

We literally have position eligibility requests like this every
single year. Why is this a slippery slope now?

I wasn’t referring to you…I was referring to the response, which
is different from literally every other response we have ever
had in similar situations.
