What are the minimum number of games or innings that a player must play at a position in real life to be given a defensive ranking/eligibility at that position by Strat when it issues cards the following year?

When I first started playing on-line I had this card (Trevor Plouffe) and got stuck with him at SS a couple games after PH etc.

I looked up his fielding statistics and as far as I could tell he played a half inning or maybe just one out at SS that year.

I asked SOM this a few years ago. 1 out to qualify at a position. Also, 1 out to qualify at a 2nd IF position. 3 innings to qualify at a 2nd OF position.

Here is an example. Jose Abreu played 1 out at 3B in 2021 and was carded there as a 5(e)65.
