anyone see Boyd in the free agent pool?? What am I missing?

Thanks everyone for staying on top of FAAB for us. If we have ANYTHING wrong in this process we need to find it, fix it and get it right. There can't be any hiccups when it comes to FAAB.

In this case, for whatever reason we're not adding Matt Boyd correctly to FAAB. It's obvious by our rules that he should have been added Sunday night to all FAAB lists and stayed there despite being sent to the minors. I've asked IT to look at this and make sure he's added today. I'm not sure why he wasn't automatically added.

And we have another mistake that an NFBC owner noticed today as well. White Sox rookie C Kevan Smith was called up yesterday, was scratched from a scheduled start and now is in FAAB despite not appearing in an MLB game yet. Per our rules, he can't be picked up until he's played in at least 1 MLB game, so he shouldn't be in FAAB yet. I've asked IT to correct that as well.

I've also asked about the time stamps to see if we can get those when they are added to FAAB. I thought we had that in the past, but if not I'll see what we can do there. It's a great suggestion.

We can't have any issues with FAAB. You folks spend a lot of time on this and the pool has to be correct the first time and every time. I'll stay on it to make sure we have every legal player in the pool each and every week. Thanks for the heads up on two wrong instances this week. Fortunately, we have plenty of time to get them right and to get the system right.

Just spit-balling here, but don't tell Coz. His head is buried in the F'ing sand.

From my understanding, times tamps are NOT gonna happen. For the simpletons out there, screen shots will take less than 60 seconds. That's a lot of "work". ROFLMAO!!!!

We're constantly hearing from the NFBC masses that FAAB, setting lineps, limited lineup flexibility etc is "too much work" so don't discount those 60 seconds. It all adds up and until everyone gets trained on how to make those screen shots they will resist it. Imagine some old fogey like me who may not even know what a screen shot is trying to follow your advice. Sixty seconds could turn into 60 minutes.

Personally I don't see the problem but I'm trying to contribute to a solution.

Here's your screen shots:

Dr. Emmett Brown: Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed to determine the precise timestamp of the FAAB appearance of Detroit spot-starter Matt Boyd in our current reality, is a bolt of lightning.

Marty McFly: [startled] What did you say?

Dr. Emmett Brown: A bolt of lighting. Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever gonna strike.

Marty McFly: We do now.
