It seems this is saying that when it's set to "continuous waivers" all players will be on waivers at all times no matter what days are selected as processing days?

The FAAB budget would fuck with the waiver priority too.

"The waiver priority will only change if 2 or more managers bid the same exact dollar amount on the same player."
This would be shitty for others if you happen to win a bid on a top prospect and don't lose your waiver priority. Plus waiver priority is less valuable in this case.

Must be a way around the players being on waivers 24/7

Reviewing the waiver setting options, I don't think there is a way to have players be free agents and have waiver settings where everyone has a fair shot at every player.

Not sure it's worth it then because I could waste my waiver priority on a backup position player and then lose out on a top keeper I want or a newly appointed closer. The FAAB bidding budget would slightly solve the problem where it would mean the highest bid would get the player without affecting waiver priority. Would just kill the value of current priority for prospects.

I'm not a huge fan of it either. I watched all season long last year you guys getting every top prospect and now that I'm waiver #1 it's worthless.

[Tommy Bunz]

Well, its only worthless if you decide to use it on a non-prospect.

How does everyone else feel? I'm not set in stone on this.

[Philaflava]

I'm torn too. We might be killing the value here of earning the top waiver spot.

While that is true, it also means that I can't make a waiver move without the chance of losing it.

I've always gone with the group, just putting in my two cents.

[kcidwolf]

Maybe we leave it the way it was because a lot of the closer backups get owned anyway. We could always lower the max acquisitions per year from 75 to 50 which would somewhat limit the scouring. Only 3 teams came close to or met the limit last year. Everybody else was well under 50.

[alpha]

The more I think about it, not cool with it. Should've said something sooner, but hell fucking no at losing first waiver priority over picking up some two bit no one.

[Tommy Bunz]

Just posted on the league board as well, due to all the pushback I've changed the waiver settings back to the old rules.

[alpha]

Good looking out bunz. Good luck everyone, cheers!

[Gregg Popabitch]

I don't think anyone uses the Trading block in our league which is a shame. if you've been trying to send me messages or emails through yahoo, it goes straight to my spam. I prefer you contact me email to email.

I'm trying to move Cespedes, Price, Evan Longoria, Hammel, Odorizzi, Hanley Ramirez, and Trevor Rosenthal. I feel like these guys could help a team. Some more than others.

I'm looking to acquire infielders for the future but I'm not limiting my search to only that. I'm trying to be open minded about what i can acquire. If you want to contact me, use the email that is in the managers tab on our yahoo league page.

Thanks.

Guys, I haven't checked my team all season. I simply don't have time with grad school taking just about every second of my day. If there's anyone that would be interested in taking my team over now or next year, just let me know. It's been fun, but the Kid does not have time for teh rotos.

[Gregg Popabitch]

oh btw, i don't plan on engaging in any trade talks during ramadan. i'm trying to limit how many hunger assisted bad decisions that i make.

[alpha]

Pretty sure I was gonna claim Urias. He didn't even hit waivers

I'm doing dual grad programs: MBA & master's of management and I'm in 4 leagues and play 36 holes a week. Gimme ur login bro

Nah Bunz needs to put him back. Yahoo fucked up, once again with this shit. Not cool.

[Tommy Bunz]

Fwiw, Big League Jew emailed me right away about it, pretty much that he knew he wouldn't get to keep him but couldn't leave him just sitting there in free agency.
I put Urias back on waivers, everyone has a fair shot at him now.

[alpha]

Thanks for taking care of that bro. Is Crawford coming up at all this year?. Otherwise I'm thinking Urias is my best bet so I don't sit on that waiver forever.

[Tommy Bunz]

I don't think the phillies are in any rush to bring Crawford up this year. They just moved him up to AAA but he was only hitting like .270 in AA so its not like he's setting the world on fire.
And tbh, I think he's likely to be one of those guys that's way more valuable in real life than in fantasy. He's like a future .280/15/20 guy with great defense in the majors.

[alpha]

he went back to FA, au sec fucked it up

[Tommy Bunz]

wtf, i removed him from justins team and then tried adding and dropping him myself to get him to go on waivers but he's still listed as a free agent.
alpha, are you using your #1 waiver claim on him? Let me know if you are and who you are going to drop and I'll just put him on your team and adjust the waiver priorities manually.
Yahoo fucking sucks.

[alpha]

I'll take him and I should have an open roster spot

[Tommy Bunz]

ok awesome. done.

[Tommy Bunz]

Finally sent out the payments to the winners. Sorry for the delay, was in Colorado on vacation and busy with other shit.
I've barely had any time this year to manage my own team and don't really see it getting much better.
I'm going to step down as commish next year. Gloss has offered to take over, unless someone else wants to step up I'm probably going to give him the reins here shortly.

[capable_keL]

Might as well fold the league along with all the others.

[Philaflava]

Nah, I'll take it over a commish. This is our longest running league. No way can it crumble. We can fill positions months ahead of time to avoid any issues.

[alpha]

Fuck I'm only on year 5 of my 10 year rebuild
