MLB Draft Chatter 2016

Matrim said:
All the free agents get put on waivers after the draft and the waiver wire order gets re-set to reflect the (reverse order of the) standings from last year. You can put waiver claims on players during the 2 day period they are on them.

Just want to highlight Matrims point here......waiver order still needs to be set, and waivers are currently set up to not be processed until April 3rd.....I believe as Matrim stated here, it's usually been 2 days post draft, in the past.


That right?
 
For off season waivers makes sense to stretch it out. If the extra time lets a few more people on the DL that only makes sense.

As for the rest, yeah, I guess it makes sense to be at the mercy of real teams. I mean, we have to live with their decision for what position guys play at, so only makes sense to live with that.
 
Looks like we missed a step when finishing the draft. As a result, waiver claims were probably reset. Have a look at your claim list. They'll come off on Thursday morning now. Thanks.
 
Also, did everybody add their own draft picks throughout the draft? If there are any guys drafted that were not already added in Fantrax, let us know and we can add them for you manually.
 
looks like they are set to come off tonight at 3:00 am. it is pretty weird that the claims went through and the remaining players are still on waivers for another day
 
That is really ****ing weird. We put everyone on waivers initially, and then realized we had missed a step to complete the "draft" process, so I'm guessing finishing that process may have created a second waiver process? I know I hadn't done any waiver adds yet by the time we did that second step.

This is idiotic, but Fantrax's internal controls are not set up particularly well (despite having tons of features). I know they are planning to roll out a site revamp soon. I guess there isn't anything we can do about it now, other than just wait for the second round of waivers to process.
 
I think there is a button to complete waivers manually, so we could in theory complete the process now if we want to.
 
Speaking of the new Fantrax site... anyone else get an invite? I did.... it's not bad but I'm not so sure they've changed a lot of functionality. Seems to be mostly an interface change.
 
I saw they started rolling out the beta but I haven't been invited yet... been waiting quite a while for Fantrax 2.0.

Love all of the features Fantrax allows us, but the website is kind of old and the app ****ing sucks.
 
Joined a new 12-team dynasty league on Fantrax, looks like there may still be 1 spot left. If anybody's interested, let me know.
