What is the qualification rule for a hitter to be available in Box?
First of all, hitters must have appeared once in the past 3 days in real life in order to be eligible in your lineup or come in from your bench. This means that in order for your hitter to appear in the for example, June 17th game, he must have played in real life on either June 15, 16, or 17. We provide this flexibility because we know that your Box League players and their real life MLB team don’t always play games on the same nights. If the hitter has played in the last 3 days, we’ll use the most recent available game. We will always use the most recent “unused” appearance first – this is important to note as this means that if had stashed away a player and you saw him with a recent hot streak and wanted to capitalize on them, the SIM will force you to use up the recent appearances, thereby ensuring the predictability aspect of them game. If your hitter has NOT played in the last three days in MLB, then we’ll go to your bench and insert a player based on your rankings.
