Free For All Day

[Big_E]

In this league, you cannot do add/drops until Opening Day -- otherwise known as "Free for All Day".

Waivers have been started, but any claims made prior to Opening Day -- which is Sunday April 5th -- will be reversed.

A day begins at 12:01am, by the clock in my living room (an atomic clock).

[gdn]

Wait, how does that reconcile with your message that claims have to be made prior to March 31?

[Big_E]

That was an automated message sent out by Sportsline.

I set waivers to clear for all players not taken in the auction on March 31. This helps in several ways:

1) Any waiver claims made before FFA day are illegal. This will show me the illegal claims on March 31, and I can release the affected players, while they still clear waivers before FFA day.

2) All non-auctioned players will be available before FFA day.

Basically, every player not taken last night will have cleared waivers before FFA day begins. Sportsline is a pain in my ass for sending out an automated message.

[rodg12]

Do we hold a minor league draft separately from Free For All day as well? I can't remember how it worked last year.

[yanksphan]

Damn, some good players on the board still.

[Snatch Catch]

I accomplished what I wanted at the auction, but not to perfection.

I think I like my team.

[THEBOSS84]

My team is eh.

Someone stole two closers I badly needed for $2 a piece.

[Snatch Catch]

My goal going into the draft was to buy Reyes and Pujols. I was capping myself around $43-44 each.

[THEBOSS84]

So why'd you let me buy Reyes for $42? He was the goal of my entire auction.

[Snatch Catch]

So why'd you let me buy Reyes for $42? He was the goal of my entire auction.

I got shook. How much higher would you have gone? $44? $46?

[THEBOSS84]

I was buying him no matter what.

[Snatch Catch]

Yeah, that was actually my goal, too. But I couldn't execute.

Settled for Sizemore at $41 instead.

[THEBOSS84]

Coffee's for closers only.

Once I bought Reyes and looked at my roster, I knew I needed Howard at all costs as well.

[The FUTURE]

care to post some team rosters/results. just curious.

[Big_E]

Let us review.

YOU MAY NOT SIGN FREE AGENTS UNTIL FREE-FOR-ALL DAY

All free agents signed before then will be dumped by me.

[Snatch Catch]

Who did it?!

[ruthianblast]

Who did it?!

Me; I thought I was in my other CBS league...whoopsie.

[Big_E]

No problem...I brought it up so people wouldn't see a transaction and start to go crazy...

[The FUTURE]

care to post draft results....anyone ?

[boo_427]

To think I had Reyes for $27 the last two years and almost finished last...

[gdn]

care to post draft results....anyone ?

Apparently not. Too complicated. don't know how to do it effectively and efficiently.

[yanksphan]

care to post draft results....anyone ?

CC - Webb - Zambrano - Harden - Greinke - Mo - K-Rod. Try and beat this pitching staff.

Zambrano, Harden and Greinke will be utter flops. I predict ERAs above 4.5 for each.

No wait, I have harden in the other league. Zambrano, Webb and Greinke will be flops.

[Snatch Catch]

CC - Webb - Zambrano - Harden - Greinke - Mo - K-Rod. Try and beat this pitching staff.

I'm interested in potentially making a deal with you Chris. Please, look over the goods on the Sycamore Style roster.

Hanley is obviously off limits unless I'm ripping you off. Teixeira is pretty close to it, too.

Other than that, everyone else is in play. Sizemore, Berkman, Wright, whomever.

Quick question on mLers, since I can never seem to get this stuff straight:

Is the mL draft the only time mLers can be picked up off the FA/Waiver list?

for example, i have 2 mLers who will be promoted to the majors at some point this year, so that will create two extra empty spots that didn't exist at the time of the mL draft. Can I fill those mid-year or do I have to wait until next year's mL draft?

1) If you have room on your mL roster, you can fill them in the mL draft, which will start soon.

2) Once the mL draft is over, you may add/drop/promote mL players as you wish, as long as they (A) are in the mL when you sign them and (B) have mL eligibility per our rules (130 or fewer AB, 50 or fewer IP).

3) YOU MAY NOT SIGN mL FREE AGENTS until the mL draft concludes...

Okay, so I can sign an mL free agent in July and put him on my mL team. Thanks.

When is the draft starting, btw?

Oh, one more question: Can I drop someone from my mL roster right now or am I locked in until after the draft?

Will announce draft once season starts, and people check stuff more often. Probably wednesday.

You may drop anyone you want. People dropped players in preparation for free-for-all day, so I have no problem with dropping players in preparation for the mL draft.
