Waivers

[Andrew]

Not a lot of teams waived their players who are out of option years. Rather than taking a half hour to do so, I'm going to take Riverman's suggestion from last season and make it a part of the rules.

Any players who are in the minor leagues on opening day but are out of options (+ symbol) are considered to be on waivers. Teams have until 9pm of the next sim (Thursday) to PM the forum user 'BLB Waivers' to claim them.

So do we have to waive our own players or just claim guys from other teams?

Just claim guys from other teams. Actually, instead of posting in the waivers forum lets go with the normal process of PM ing BLB Waivers. I'll update the first post.

Crap. Completely blanked on doing that. Oops.

Me too (sorry). We don't do this in my other league. For the record...There are "+" guys in the Los Lunas farm system.

BTW...Can we claim our own guys?

how about you just put him on your ML roster and you won't have to worry about him going to waivers

[Andrew]

Also, it should be clarified that the expectation is that any players claimed should be added to your BLB roster, not waived again to try to sneak into your own minor leagues.

Damn I completely blanked on this as well.

If I have a guy with a +, can I put him on my Major League roster this sim? (i dont have the game here so I'm not sure if I'm going to do this)

Yes, it will remove him from waivers and when I go to make the claims sent to BLB Waivers, he won't even be listed as an option.

Thankfully I did this. Seems like it was the only thing California did right this sim.

Duuuhhh!...I forgot players claimed on waivers have to go to the active roster.

I claimed Delacnz. It says that I claimed him under his waiver status in game but he's still on Wilmington's AAA team.

Can I unclaim some guys? They aren't going to all fit on my BLB roster.

Is there any way to write this into the rules like the Rule V? I was really hoping to get Delacnz but Washington got him and now he's on their AAA team.

I had planned on putting him on my BLB club but I had a player come off the DL that I forgot about. I didn't think SS Pete Summers would be off the DL so soon.

If I can't have him on my AAA club for the time being, send him to Dallas. For some reason I thought this situation was different because Delacnz didn't have to pass through waivers again to be put on my AAA club. He is signed to a minor league contract. No biggy though.

I wish him well in Big D.
