Rays are about to be 9-0 with a +56 run differential

I paid for the entire year

Edward Cabrera had electric stuff today vs. the Mets. But walked 7 of the 15 guys he faced.

AA was on the broadcast on opening day and said about Arcia: “We see a lot of upside with the bat”. I rolled my eyes, but watch Arcia have a 3+ WAR season now that he’s signed that paltry extension.

We can reinstate whenever someone wants to start one. I deleted it because I couldn't figure out how to get Stangstag access to it, and I had the power to prune it because I started it.

Nobody take the team. We want Terminator.

Another f***ing nailbiter against L54. This is typically where I lose in devastating fashion.

No, not this year

Of course

We had a trade chat, but nobody used it so I deleted it this afternoon trying sort your situation out.

I believe most of what connor posts on here. If you were going to lie about your life to people on the internet, would you make up connor's life?

lol, there are no other channels

Edit: nevermind, Fantrax customer suport just got back to me. You should have access to #General now Stangstag

I've updated the rule 2.3 in the league constitution. Dodd will stay on TCAs team (thanks Stangstag). This situation shouldn't come up again now that we've cleaned up that section of our rules.

Updated language for the rule: Unowned players with no MLB experience that are added to a real life roster can only be added at 8PM ET two days after their MLB debut. So if they debut on Tuesday, they can be added at 8PM on Thursday. Commissioners reserve the right to manually add any such player to actual waivers, and owners can request that any such players are added to waivers. Waivers should expire at least 48 hours after their MLB debut. So if a player debuts on Tuesday waivers should not expire until at least Friday.

I didn't mean that they'd end at 8PM, I meant that they should end after the 48-hour waiting period, at 1AM or whatever time they tend to clear. But yeah, that's worth clarifying. Basically, don't put players on waivers until the day they debut, and everything will be fine.

I'm not entirely sure what to do here. Stangstag is right about the process being confusing in this particular instance. I think the addendum to the rules I proposed cleans that up. I see the argument for putting Dodd back on waivers, but I also see the argument that TCA didn't do anything wrong given the current wording of the rules. Basically, I'm looking for the solution to the Dodd claim that causes the least possible amount of anger.

There is a BORED General and BORED Trade Talk channel in Fantrax chat. You should be able to see them. Spanky does a lot of administrative stuff for the league: dropping illegal adds, helping with draft issues, fixing the waiver order when it gets bungled every year after the draft etc... None of this involved discretion, and any owner can request that a debuting player be added to waivers, so him doing that for Dodd wasn't an issue. The only problem here was the lack of clarity about when waivers should expire.

I kind of agree - you're right. The issue here hasn't actually popped up before. Usually when players are added to waivers it's on the day they debut. So waivers runs 3-4 days, past the 48-hour waiting period and there's no ambiguity. In this case, Spanky added Dodd to debut waivers before his appearance (like two days before). That would have been fine, but Spanky ideally would have extended the waiver period past 8PM tonight. He didn't do that, and Dodd came off waivers almost 24 hours before the 48-hour waiting period, confusing you. I think the rule should actually be clarified with an addendum to the current phrasing: Unowned players with no MLB experience that are added to a real life roster can only be added at 8PM ET two days after their MLB debut. So if they debut on Tuesday, they can be added at 8PM on Thursday. Commissioners reserve the right to manually add any such player to actual waivers, and owners can request that any such players are added to waivers. Waivers should expire at least 48 hours after their MLB debut. So if a player debuts on Tuesday waivers should not expire until at least Friday.

wat. These issues have popped up since the start of the DDL like 10 years ago. There has never been more arguing over minutiae than there was in the first 2-3 years of the DDL.

So the chain of events here is: - Dodd illegally claimed on April 2nd. - Instead of dropping him to the FA pool, Spanky put him through debut waivers. - Spanky announced that he did so in the league chat on BORED (his status also would have shown as waivers on the FA list) - He came off waivers at 1AM this morning after ~4 days on debut waivers. Nobody made a claim on him. - TCA legally scooped him as a Free Agent at 7:30 AM - If Dodd hadn't been put on waivers (and cleared) he would have been eligible to be added at 8 PM ET tonight. But TCA didn't have to wait because every owner had a crack at him via debut waivers.

Right. I think it was jaysblue back in Yahoo days. Possibly DDL?

In BORED? I have no recollection of it if it did happen. I think there's also functionality to remove those stats from the matchup after the fact.

I berate them on BJMB I don't think its ever happened though

Reminder of the relevant section from the league rules: 2.3 Adding Players Owners are free to add any unowned player with at least one MLB game of experience. During the season, adds are restriced to 6 per week. There is no limit to adds during the offseason. Unowned players with no MLB experience that are added to a real life roster can only be added at 8PM ET two days after their MLB debut. So if they debut on Tuesday, they can be added at 8PM on Thursday. Commissioners reserve the right to manually add any such player to actual waivers, and owners can request that any such players are added to waivers.
