Playing time vs Depth Chart

[bankerboy]

Curious how these two things work mechanically on the site. I was reviewing the AL Depth chart view and noticed that for Minnesota, Vargas is showing as the DH, while Morrison is showing as the back-up first baseman. When going directly into the Twins grid, it accurately shows Morrison as having the largest chunk of DH playing time.

Thanks for your thoughts.

It's programmatic based on primary position and playing time. Doesn't always work perfectly. That one we can fix.

Fixed that one, made a few other glaring corrections too.

I think Vargas got claimed when sent down by Cardinals

Yes, that happened since that post. Vargas is no longer on the MIN depth chart.

He had been claimed by the Reds, but they tried to slip him to the minors and the Twinkies reclaimed him. In other words, he’s the ping pong ball.
