Adding one more reserve spot is not going to make the waiver wire garbage. yes it will. take the top 16 available free agents out of the free agent pool and it will obviously be a worse selection of players.
-
truffle, to put it a little more succintly... rosters are to be set on monday. no changes to your offensive lineup or bullpen unless there is an injury/demotion to the minors/promotion to the majors. you can make daily changes to your rotation to ensure you get 7 starts. the end. the rule is also that you cannot pick up FA's to fill out your 7 starts during the week, but apparently we're not abiding by that anymore? i brought it up last week and everyone seemed to agree with me except for brian.
-
the waiver wire would be complete garbage if we allowed extra reserves. add an extra DL spot before we had an extra reserve spot.
-
can't get a much worse swap than this...
-
Offer extended. sorry, i need a SP. i have an extra OF as it is.
-
david wright is also available.
-
with all these 3b getting hurt, isn't anybody going to make me an offer for chipper/d wright?
-
that's what it should be, but i think the rule is to eliminate the one that occurs last (for the first offense). go over more than once, and we eliminate the highest one.

Oh, so Zobrist had more points in one day than Carlos Pena and Ian Stewart have all year, combined. You can pick up pitchers in order to get 7 starts for the week. Did he already have at least 7 starts with the pitchers he had, or did he pick them up so that he would be able to get his 7? i don't know, but that has never been the rule as far as i've understood it. ***lineups are to be set on monday.*** you cannot pick up free agents (pitcher or position player) mid-week unless there is an injury.
-
zobrist had 30+ points that day because they played a DH. shouldn't effect the matchup, but i don't see how rodelo was able to pick up nova and morton midweek and have them make starts for him today. it doesn't look like they were replacing guys who were hurt.
-
like your mom
-
um he had a lot more than 29 strikeouts last year. duh.
-
great start to the week, as i had kennedy's cg/so on the bench. that makes SIX 25+ point starts i've had on my bench through 3 weeks and 1 day. i have enjoyed a -31 start and -27 start, so that's something.
-
you can take injured guys out of your lineup midweek and replace them with someone from your bench. or a free agent actually. you just can't put them on the DL unless they are actually on the DL.
-
yay jokes
-
great start to my week as arguably the worst SP in baseball throws 7 innings of 1 hit, 0 run ball. so that's exciting.
-
my matchup this week was decided by two guys...tulowitzki and ian kennedy. yuck.

Daisuke?

the $2 mil owed to samardzija and the $20 mil owed to dice-k seem like a good financial match. -
you cannot make midweek lineup changes unless there is an injury. you cannot put the new guy in your starting lineup unless he is replacing someone that is hurt.
-
i mean, i guess you could pick someone up to replace the guy you were dropping if you weren't putting the new guy in your lineup.
-
not unless the person you are dropping is hurt.

Perhaps I just have a different idea of what's fun than you do. To me, building a team that will be very strong for years to come is more fun than eking out a 9th place finish in a 16 team league. good luck doing that solely with minor leaguers. i mean, a few teams have tried doing that before and it helped me win a bunch of championships, so go crazy i guess. the less competition the better.
-
it's one week into the season. do you really hate fun so much that you want to conduct a fire sale on april 11?
-
i think i'd be pretty annoyed if you started a team designed to score 0 points.
-
oh i'm aware of the ineptness of the rest of your team.
