FAAB Pool
Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2019 8:55 am
Can you clear up the FAAB pool issues? Either I am not understanding the rules right or there are execution problems. Maybe both.
1) Drafted Players
Obviously anyone that is drafted and later dropped stays in the pool. That one is easy.
2) DL Players that were not drafted
I think this one you acknowledged earlier wasn't handled right and then corrected the week after. CC Sabathia for example should have been in the pool even though not drafted in some leagues. Right? Or do I have that one wrong?
3) Minor Leaguers not drafted
For this one, a minor leaguer that has no Major League games played must be called up and must play in one game prior to him being added, correct? Once a game is played then he should be added the next morning by 7 AM ET? For this week you had the LAA kid Renigfo called up on Thursday. He played Thursday April 25. He was not added to FAAB pool on Friday. He played again on Friday. Finally added on Saturday. Why the delay?
4) Players added to roster that have major league experience
If a player gets called up to the roster and has major league experience then he should go in the pool the next morning regardless of playing a game, correct? I think you referenced this in regards to Keuchel and Kimbrel in your CC Sabathia post. I would put the link here but I am not smart enough to figure out how to do that and am already typing this for the third time because the technology of this user or these boards isn't what it was a couple years ago. Here are some examples on this category:
- Maybin went to the Yankees on 4/25. He should have been added to FAAB 4/26? Didn't get added until 4/27 because he had to play a game? Maybe this is what I am not understanding. He should not have had to play a game per the rules?
- Gio Gonzalez - per every single transaction site that I could find (8 of them) - they all show Gio signing with the Brewers on Saturday. He should have been in the pool yesterday in the leagues where he wasn't drafted. He wasn't added until today. Why? Does he have to play a game?
- Other guys have been added prior to playing a game.
5) 7 AM ET
Numerous times the additions have not been there by 7 AM ET. I realize it doesn't matter all that much when it is Mon-Saturday but has happened a couple times at least now on Sundays. Can this be squared away please?
Can you clear this up?
Thank you.
