Fatman Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) My local league uses Yahoo which, for the paramaters of our league, works very well. There is a bit of an issue now as to Ricky Williams coming back into the league. There are three owners who are desperate for RB help and are very anxious to claim him. Our league only uses waivers when players are dropped; other than that FA acquisitions can happen at any time (something I have been unable to change for the past couple of years). Like Ricky Williams, there have been some players in the past that enter the league midseason and are not in the player database. Historically, we have allowed a post to the message board to claim a player like this as long as the owner had an open roster spot. My question is this - now, when Yahoo adds players, do they come into the league on waivers? It was my understanding that they did, and we were going to allow waivers to determine claims like this going forward. From the best I can tell, he came in just as a free agent and was able to be picked up immediately. Does anyone have any idea? It would be much appreciated.

godtomsatan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I believe new players come in on waivers. At least in baseball, that's what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and everything seemed to work fine in baseball for us. Now it just seems like Ricky came in as a FA, which is confusing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark5 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 From my Yahoo league he is coming in as a FA, so the FA rules would apply.. I never checked earlier in the year if he was already listed.. He does have the "NA" next to his name which means he should be considered as a FA... I know in baseball, when someone is called up they add him as a FA and everybody gets a shot at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
