Free Agency Cutoff For Additions

OK, I know I will sound like someone not interested in winning $100,000 and doing whatever I need to do to win the money; but....



Is it at all possible to make the deadline for Stats adding new players to the free agency pool earlier than one hour before bids are due? As odd as this sounds, I like to go out on Sundays and not have to worry about being home by 6:00 PM to see if any of the 3 guys I want to appear in the free agency list were added by Stats.



I suggest if Stats can not add a player by 10:00 AM Sunday morning (Eastern), then they should hold off until the bids are locked. This past week I went out of my way to rush home only to find that none of the players I expected to be in the free agency list were there. Drats, rushed home by 6:00 for nothing.

Free Agency Cutoff For Additions

Pete, I highly doubt that you'll have to do this each Sunday. Yesterday was the exception because teams were required to report their 25-man rosters to MLB by noon. STATS then had the opportunity to add players to our list as they got them from MLB. Obviously, they didn't get many ahead of our FAAB deadline and now there are several key free agents still available for Week 2 bidding. But very seldom does a top free agent get sent up on Sunday afternoon and then gets immediately entered into our FAAB listing.



I trust you'll still be able to spend quiet Sundays with the family and still not miss any key callups.
