Actually, the utility looks at the position the player played the most. There's also a minimum innings played parameter (user settable). If the player hasn't played enough innings at one position, the player will appear as a DH (assuming the league supports DH's... otherwise, it's position with the most innings played, assuming he meets the minimum PA requirement).
Similar thing for pitchers, there's a minimum # of games started and minimum # of innings pitched, all user settable, that will determine whether the pitcher appears as a starter, reliever or not at all.
Lastly, only players that are in the top 5-10 of their position in a stat category (batting average, HR's, wins, ERA, etc) will appear on the ballot. This is so you don't get tons of useless scrubs that you have to look through. On average, it's about 10 players per category on the ballot, except OF, SP and relievers, where's there's a few more.
