Does anyone know that eligibility requirements are for pitching eligibility? Phil Hughes started 9 games last year and I'm shocked he doesn't have SP eligibility

It should be 5 starts so that’s odd.

From ESPN:
Positional Eligibility for Pitchers Additional positional eligibility for Pitchers occurs when one of the following conditions is met:
Pitching appearances last season: 5 starts / 8 relief Pitching appearances during current season: 3 starts / 5 relief
Note: From time to time, ESPN may make the decision to assign SP or RP eligibility to a pitcher prior to their meeting the conditions stated above but whose value is dramatically affected by an anticipated role change. Unlike with hitters, who still accrue the same statistics no matter what their position, the nature of starting pitching versus relief pitching increases the impact of a role change. However, ESPN will not remove eligibility from a player who has achieved one of the above-stated milestones. Please also note that SP and RP are custom positions only; the ESPN standard game uses the generic "P" position.
