Brendan McKay Question

The implemented solution isn’t because of technical limitations. It’s because of what @vibbot wrote in that thread:

Christian Bethancourt, C/OF(/RP?)

I don’t recall how Kieschnick was handled on the sites I played in in the past, but I think your proposal is exactly how this situation should work. Pitchers don’t currently get credit for their hitting, and a position player who comes in late to pitch isn’t given credit for that either, so I completely agree with the thought that players with dual hitting/pitching eligibility should only have hitting or pitching points accrue for a given day in the lineup.

I don’t think anyone is adding pitchers for their hitting or wants a few innings of completely unplanned pitching from a position player. Making a change to the fundamental way that players are considered in fantasy would give owners less control on how their lineups work, and I think would be frustrating more than anything.
