Why can't my players get injured on Sunday rather than Monday?

[The Emperor Fabulous]

My players who for one reason or another had the day off today:

Ryan Zimmerman
Carl Crawford
Mike Cameron
Conor Jackson

4/9. Can we have a daily league next year? Pretty please?

[Imran Siddiqui]

No .

Well, you can.. but start it yourself.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Sure, why the hell not. I'm up for it (I say now).

Actually daily leagues are easier for me... I never remember to fix things on sunday

[Fistandantilus]

The only reason I don't like daily leagues is the pitch/ditch strategy. I dislike having to check the waivers every day to pick up a starter with a favourable matchup just to drop it after the game.

That sort of thing really cheezes me. I like the idea that if you are going to pick up a player for a matchup, you have to keep him on your team for the week and not just switch out every day.

The daily leagues seem just to reward those who check Yahoo every day.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Or watch SportsCenter or listen to sports radio or read a newspaper...

[Imran Siddiqui]

You still have to go to Yahoo every day.

I'm neither best nor worst in anything! Woot!

[Berzerker]

Sure, why the hell not. I'm up for it (I say now).

Ah, I get a year off - thx for volunteering EF

That sort of thing really cheezes me. I like the idea that if you are going to pick up a player for a matchup, you have to keep him on your team for the week and not just switch out every day.

The daily leagues seem just to reward those who check Yahoo every day.

Trust me, it aint a strategy to concern yourself over. I play it and I dont even like it, I end up grabbing pitchers who are ostensibly less effective than damn near all the pitchers on our rosters. I dont do this to get an IP advantage, I do it because one of my SPs wont be making his start or has a bad match up, like in Texas. And I do it when my pitching gets hammered early in the week (Laffey in Texas) and the only way to salvage anything is by diluting the terrible stats. Having a waiver period makes this strategy even less appealing, I'm dropping someone to get a temp SP. Keep doing that and you lose other players to people taking advantage of this wonderful strategy

And thx Fuzzy for the continued updates

[gjramsey]

QS is mine!!!!

hey, I have to cheer something with my team....
