I'd vote for FAAB next year if we can also agree that adds should take affect same day. Being able to pick up a guy at 6 and play him at 7 is most of the fun of daily transactions. The delay is weird.

 

[Capella]

We really do need to examine another waiver wire procedure. First come first serve is dumb and really not fair. The entire league should have a shot at Kimbell's replacement, not just the guy with the fastest twitter feed and availability to break free from Easter dinner. We are paying a lot of money to play...current system is BS. Football has an order to free agency. So should this league.

/slams fork down "excuse me family daddy has to go pick up a guy with an ERA approaching 5"

 

[Capella]

Jim Johnson with an ERA of 7 and a WHIP of 2 got picked up also. Just saw that.

You people are psychopaths.

That's actually one aspect I like about the current system. People fall over themselves to pick up garbage.

I've recomended FAAB in the past. Never got much traction.

What is FAAB?

 

[Capella]

Free agent auction bidding. I suggest we change it to FAP though.

I'm not sure if you can set Yahoo to make adds effective same day.

You definitely can.

Best way to do it

Roster Changes: Daily - Tomorrow

Just change that to daily - today.

Edit: this should also be done for uber if anyone is watching/listening.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Agree FAAB is the best. Renegade|GM will/would be sad if he is/were to be in the leeg though.

 

[Capella]

Let's just do it for this year starting next week. Not like we have any real rules or structure anyways.

If you added four more computers with fantasy sports feeds, this is how I picture Rene.

Oh. I think I like the way it is. Takes some forethought.

I would think you would want to take advantage of any opportunity to improve that mess you have.

We're not changing #### once the season starts.

$20 side bet?

In for side bet.

Also vote

Most leagues haven't had their first FAAB bidding yet. It would be nothing to change it. Who is against this? The guy who has his google alert set to "closer traded/dies" and immediately fires the app up on his phone? We can do better.

Edit: and I'm the guy with #1 waiver priority

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I say leave it, seems like the best way to continue the chaos and hilarity this league usually produces. All the people (me included) who make dumb FCFS moves, end up losing good players a lot of the time. I scooped up Kluber in Uber last year, and dropped Doolittle in Cake.

 

[shuke]

Does FAAB mean a limited number of moves? Just not for that in a daily league. Not sure how it would work.

This is true too. I do enjoy seeing cos make hundreds of moves and run billy adding the entire awful Braves bullpen for some reason.

Doesn't limit moves, you just have transactions once or twice a week with a budget. It does reduce the number of moves but I think it also levels the playing field for the less astute owners. I like it in my home league, but it seems more appropriate in keepers/dynasty formats. For redrafts, meh.

ETA: But for this league if it creates more chaos and makes people angry, we should probably do it.

ETA2: I'm just Greco's mignon, what do I know?

 

[shuke]

Look, this is a 14 team league with roster sizes close to 30. If there is a next-in-line closer sitting out there as a free agent, then pick him up now, or quit your #####ing. I'm not saying this because I scour the news all day. I can't even access the league from work any more. But I really do not want to do anything that prevents daily transactions.

There isn't much correlation anyway. Cos is notorious for this. There have been years when GM/cos made about 4000 transactions and still finished in the bottom third.

Standings update?

Waiting a day to play a pickup is worse than not having FAAB imo. We have the technology.

You get pretty weirdly defensive about this stuff.

2016 draft set yet? never too early.

 

[RnR]

Planning a trip to Kings Island this summer. Odds I can talk shuke into sharing a ride on the Beast with me and a Jose Rijo bobblehead? With pics?

Too early for Votto gloat...but I am encouraged!
