Free Agent search fields

Yesterday I was looking for free agents and using the "owned" and "started" search fields. Today they are unavailable. Anyone else having this problem?

I wanted to bid on some major leaguers that didn't play in the majors last year for one reason or another, but noticed also that they all disappeared. Minor disappointment but its one of those things where you want the guy cheap before they play and blow up (or suck).

Anyway, is the player pool now locked in for the day? Just wondering so I don't do double-work later.

Thanks,

Mace and Bailey (Craig)

Mace and Bailey (Craig) Yes, the player pool is locked for today. If a certain player isn't there, he won't be there anymore. Look for him next week.

Yes, I totally understand what you and others are saying. We had a more comprehensive player pool on Friday night, but that bogged down the FAAB system. We had 500+ minor-leaguers in there when most of them were sent down. We took them all out and it has helped speed up things.

Some of the players missing are those who weren't officially on the 40-man rosters and were spring invites. They may have made MLB 25-man rosters, but won't officially be added to teams until today. Rather than load all of those guys at the last minute, we kept them out of the free agent pool and will make them available next week.

Hope this makes sense. Good luck all.
