My brain hurts after reading that
ETA: You should have posted that list before the draft to screw with people's rankings.

All players are now on waivers until 2/9 at 2am
do they have to go to waivers? should just go on with business as usual
Posted on 2/7/18 at 6:54 pm to GynoSandberg
Waivers, like every dropped player in our league

All players, shitstain?

It doesn’t allow us to pick and choose who goes on waivers. It’s all or nothing, Big G.

Understandable. Didn’t realize everyone had to be set to waivers. Thought it was just guys dropped during the draft.
Don’t really like the idea of waiver priority deciding guys who have been FA all offseason. Mainly in the event of a trade or signing where a player would gain value all of a sudden

I understand. Our hands aren’t tied thiough. I’ll email Fantrax to see if there’s a future solution. The problem we were having is that guys that were dropped before I finalized the draft were made free agents instead of going through the waiver process once it was finalized. That’s worse than the scenario you suggested.

I was gonna say it wouldn’t be that hard to:
- Make sure everyone knew those dropped on 2/5 & 2/6 has a manual waiver lock placed on them.
- Police two dozen + drops.
- receive people’s waiver requests through email.
Much easier to say F it, everyone is locked. Will suck though if someone I wanted is picked up now that I cleared a spot who would’ve been a FA otherwise.

How about you frickers just roll.with it sometimes?

I’m fairly certain there are a few owners monitoring the situation of FAs and possible trade candidates. Something drops and they will go to add that guy. This is part of a strategy in a dynasty that operates year long. Everyone should be afforded right to add waivers guys per league rules and FA guys per league rules. If Redd says it isn’t possible then I will be fine rolling with it like I roll with allowing some owners to operate their teams while having illegal lineups w/o consequence (except papzy)

League Commissioner and Politician have a lot in common.
Everyone enjoys talking shite about how they would do those jobs but nobody actually wants it to be their job.
Posted on 2/8/18 at 12:34 am to swamie
This league has 5 commissioners 
A good commish will entertain and talk through all ideas, questions, complaints etc. Redd does that
A commish that melts over shite like that isn’t a good one

Why do we have 5 again?
One is a treasurer. Two others to make roster changes and read back the charter when redd is away? And rondo?

5 committee members were brought together to establish and write a constitution. Those five committee members also get together if there is a rules dispute that needs a ruling instead of having one guy being the ultimate decision maker. 5 speaking for 20 is way better than 1 speaking for 20 imo. The rules have been put in place in such a way that disputes should be rare though. We also try to make it a point to document any rule change suggestions throughout the season so that they can be addressed or voted on during the off-season. I think it works well.

quote:
7. Amed Rosario, SS, Mets: Rosario, 22, showed a somewhat alarming lack of plate discipline, walking only three times while striking out 49 times in 165 at-bats. But the much-heralded shortstop proved to be an immediate, significant upgrade for the Mets’ woebegone infield defense. His glove should keep him in the starting lineup, but there’s reason for hope on the offensive side: Rosario maintained a sturdy .833 OPS and consistently hit over .300 across three minor league levels the past two seasons.
quote:
23. Reynaldo Lopez, RHP, White Sox: Entering his second season in Chicago, it’s unclear what Lopez might become. The White Sox would prefer the short-term answer be “No. 4 starter.” Lopez, 24, has struck out nearly nine batters per nine innings over 64 minor league appearances, but his strikeout and walk rates have predictably dipped in 19 career major league games. His future might be best served as a swing man or reliever, but for this season, Lopez should have a relatively long leash in the
rotation.
quote:
27. Dominic Smith, 1B, Mets: A former first-round pick and an ever-divisive prospect, Smith shattered his previous professional high by hitting 25 combined homers between Class AAA and big-league play in 2017 — making good on scouts’ predictions he would add power as he matured. Smith, 22, largely struggled in his first turn against major league pitching and will enter spring training competing with Adrian Gonzalez for the Mets’ everyday job at first base. His upward-trending offensive numbers and strong defensive reputation suggest he’s ready for a longer major league look, and the Mets committed only the league minimum to Gonzalez.
quote:
40. Ronald Guzman, 1B, Rangers: Considering projected starter Joey Gallo’s defensive struggles at first base, it’s certainly conceivable that Guzman, 23, could be in the majors sooner rather than later. The hulking 6-5 left-handed hitter is on the 40-man roster and if Gallo struggles, Guzman could force the team’s hand with a strong showing in spring training.
quote:
46. Raul Mondesi Jr., SS, Royals: Injuries, suspension and now the re-signing of Alcides Escobar — just a few factors curtailing Mondesi’s rise to full-time player. Mondesi, 22, hasn’t played in more than 110 games since 2013, nor has he shown the ability to handle big-league pitching over 72 career games with Kansas City. Escobar’s return means Mondesi’s immediate future might be as a super-utility player, and his elite speed – he has stolen 137 bases in 168 professional attempts (81%) – will keep him relevant for a while.
quote:
47. Yohander Mendez, LHP, Rangers: Texas overhauled its rotation this winter, adding Matt Moore, Mike Minor and Doug Fister via free agency. Additionally, reliever Matt Bush could be transitioned into a starting role, seemingly freezing out Mendez, 23. The lefty was demoted to Class AA in 2017, so regaining confidence will be key in the early part of the season.
quote:
53. Anthony Alford, OF, Blue Jays: Once a Division I quarterback and safety, Alford, 23, was drafted by the Blue Jays out of high school in 2012 but did not play a full professional season until 2015. He reached the majors by May 2017, but broke his wrist after appearing in only four games and returned to Class AA when he came off the disabled list. The offseason additions of Randal Grichuk and Curtis Granderson crowd the Blue Jays’ outfield picture and Alford appears ticketed to open 2018 in Class AAA ball. But his impressive plate discipline and great speed on both sides of the ball mean he could be hitting atop Toronto’s lineup by midseason.
quote:
57. Derek Fisher, OF, Astros: The Astros will use a few different players in left field this season, and Fisher figures to feature heavily in that mix. He’ll compete with Marwin Gonzalez and Jake Marisnick for at-bats, but Fisher has been considered one of the club’s top prospects and will certainly get a fair shot, particularly against right-handers. Even if he’s not starting every day, Fisher, 24, is a strong option off the bench with speed (59 steals from 2015-16) and ability to play all three outfield spots.
quote:
59. Christian Arroyo, IF, Rays: Arroyo made a big impression with his fearlessness and versatility when the Giants called him up in late April, about a month shy of his 22nd birthday. Eventually Arroyo struggled offensively and was sent back to the minors, where a pitch broke his left hand, ending his season. He later had to cut short his winter league stint and had surgery on the hand. Arroyo was traded to Tampa Bay as the key return in the Evan Longoria swap and is expected to compete for an infield job, likely at second base.
quote:
65. Sandy Alcantara, RHP, Marlins: Dealt to the Marlins for Marcell Ozuna, Alcantara will get a chance to win a spot in the rotation this spring. At 6-4, 170 pounds, he has a fastball that sits in the mid-to-high 90 and a plus changeup. As a September call-up, he posted a 4.32 ERA. Alcantara doesn’t turn 23 until September, so the Marlins may not rush him.
quote:
98. Carson Kelly, C, Cardinals: When you’re backing up one of the most durable catchers in the majors, you’re not going to see a ton of playing time. Kelly, 23, hasn’t had much of a chance to impress anyone with the bat during his brief stints in St. Louis over the past two seasons. But he’s an excellent defender with a strong arm – and he started to show some power last year at Class AAA Memphis.
