murf74 461 Posted October 21, 2013 that would be a strange scenario I never saw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted October 21, 2013 Strange. In one of my leagues someone picked up him as a FA. In another he is on waivers and I would have to put a claim in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bscheibs 8 Posted October 21, 2013 Can't get the commissioner to override that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingstowne Dealers 14 Posted October 21, 2013 Can't get the commissioner to override that? I am the commish. And I'm in 1st place. Dang nabbit yahoo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gimethedamnball 2 Posted October 21, 2013 Isn't that how waivers work? So that replacement players or players that go off can't be picked up game time. I'm a yahoo commish and would allow you to play Cox if you added him before the waiver period. But if you were planning on playing Jacobs (me too btw) and didn't pick up Cox, you're not allowed to plug and play during the waiver period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbone138 6 Posted October 21, 2013 It's easy to do as commish... Just go in there and move him. You can move anyone you want. you could steal all of the teams best players and put them in your lineup if you wanted to.... Just make sure you let everyone know what is going on.

I just don't want the headache of hearing the whining and moaning and conspiracy theories propounded by 1-6 teams with nothing better to do than stir up sh!t. Not over Micheal Cox. Sucks to be commish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read on the yahoo messageboard that this is a universal problem regardless of waiver settings. Yahoo has gone to the toilet ever since that pregnant lady took over.

gimethedamnball 2 Posted October 21, 2013 Yeh they have tried fixing their "glitches" and it sucks as a commish because inevitably once or twice a year people get locked out leaving the commish to manually do it. I would text/email the commish before the game starts and make the change. Even if the change doesn't go through in the system, he can modify the resulting totals after the game.

bscheibs 8 Posted October 22, 2013 Just saw someone in my league do this. Cut Rod Streater, added Cox and put him in for Jacobs. Since Streater didn't play yet this week it went through. Also yahoo league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted October 22, 2013 I read on the yahoo messageboard that this is a universal problem regardless of waiver settings. Yahoo has gone to the toilet ever since that pregnant lady took over. This is something new this year. They somehow changed the default settings where this happens. It wasn't like this before. But, a team in my league tried this early in the year and they had the same issue. It shouldn't be that way. As commish, I would force that if asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbone138 6 Posted October 22, 2013 Weird I was just reading this and a guy in my league had this problem. I switched out Cox for Jacobs for him. Hasn't yahoo historically put players on waivers at the kickoff of their game? Or has it always been that all players were locked at the kickoff of the first game? I'm starting to second guess myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted October 22, 2013 This happened to me too. Lost this week because I had Jacobs in, picked up Hillis to plug in at 8pm, only to realize he's not available to start until week 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
