Waivers are closed
It doesn't matter which way it's directed. The fact that we use an open process is ridiculous. When doing the research on who is available and may represent a good find the last thing any of us should want to do is post it for all to see. If I and several others knew there was an option to send the list in instead of posting it I am sure we would have taken that option. It doesn't really affect me that much because I waited until the last minute, but those that post early get the short end.Dodgers wrote:John's on vacation with limited access.

There's not a lot of research that goes into this. You look at the free agent list and dissect a few numbers. It isn't a painstaking task.Nationals wrote:It doesn't matter which way it's directed.

Especially since all you really have to do is look at the first couple of claim lists posted............fix it for next year, on to this season.Pirates wrote:There's not a lot of research that goes into this.

If directed towards me, none of the players I claimed were even mentioned by anybody else.Nationals wrote:Especially since all you really have to do is look at the first couple of claim lists posted............fix it for next year, on to this season.Pirates wrote:There's not a lot of research that goes into this.

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I was just pointing out it could be done that way. I'm done with this thread, it seems to be taking a bad turn.Pirates wrote:If directed towards me, none of the players I claimed were even mentioned by anybody else.Nationals wrote:Especially since all you really have to do is look at the first couple of claim lists posted............fix it for next year, on to this season.Pirates wrote: There's not a lot of research that goes into this.

If not, then I guess it proves that doing your own "research" and not monkey-see monkey-do pays off. Regardless there will be a different system next year. It's typically no secret who the big simmers are anyway, and I'm pretty sure that's one of the first things people look for when they even get the database.
That was a pretty low shot to take since it doesn't look like anyone actually did that.Nationals wrote:Especially since all you really have to do is look at the first couple of claim lists posted............fix it for next year, on to this season.Pirates wrote:There's not a lot of research that goes into this.

Fixed. That was not related to waivers, but rather a result of converting the projection disk into OOPSS.WhiteSox wrote:Just a heads up - people may want to double check their rosters. I lost someone (Chris Lubanski) during the waivers processed that wasn't dropped. Everything else on the roster looks good though....
