We can handle reserve squad transactions through regular waivers now that all of the players are in the player pool.

Works for me...

Sorry DS, got another question.

Is the roster size staying at 31, including the 5 minor leaguers on the squad? I thought that was the number before the 5 were added. I'm fine with it either way, just need to know.

I'm keeping the roster size at 31, so that's 26 regulars + your 5 reserve squadders. Sorry for the confusion, but I set this up under the assumption that ESPN wouldn't add all of those prospects to their database. Now that they have, it'll be easier for us to keep track and avoid any mistakes by keeping the reserve squadders on out teams. I still want everyone to document their reserve squad on the thread in the league homepage. I'll send out a more thorough email soon.

What is the point of documenting it? Sounds like this will get confusing.

Its cool, just trying to figure out how to budget my auction dollars.

I don't know any other way to delineate who is on your regular roster vs. who is on your reserve squad.

Does it really matter?

I am not trying to be sarcastic. I do not know. Maybe it does.

Players on the reserve squad have to have one year of service time or less, so in that regard it matters. If someone on your reserve squad is made active then they can only be replaced with someone meeting the same criteria. Updating them in the thread allows everyone to ensure each squad is adhering to the 1yr and under rule.

Precisely. Remember that there are a few essential aspects to think about when deciding how to manage your reserve squad. You aren't allowed to use your reserve squad players in your starting lineups, only after you promote them to your main roster (a la minor leagues vs big leagues). Once you activate a player off the reserve squad they can't go back to it. But the benefit to not activating them is that you can keep reserve squad players across years without penalty (i.e. you don't have to include them in your normal keepers). Thus if we don't keep track of them we'll have difficulty with our keepers next season.

Not a big fan of Waivers taking so long. Especially when you are trying to replace a player that's on DL.

Just saying.

I agree about the waivers. While I understand the point, I just don't like the time it takes.

Especially when it takes 3 days to clear waivers and your guy is put in the 15 DL.

Why can't we shorten waivers down to 1 day? Two tops.

I don't mind adding Tuesday waivers as well. I usually don't like changing any rules during the season, but I see nothing wrong with tinkering with this. I'll put it to vote amongst the panel.

Vote is in, we'll add Tuesday waivers.
