Friday Line-Ups

LasVegas9 · Post by **LasVegas9** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 5:45 pm

I experienced a problem this past week when setting my line up for a Friday DL move. I made

a change when Sabathia went on the DL.

I made the change on 4/5, and then

changed my mind on 4/6 and went back in to change the player i had substituted. Could not do. I thought you could make the change since the 4/7 line up wasn't in effect yet, but, no

the player I had substituted was not on DL, so,

I couldn't get back in to make a change even

though it was not 4/7 yet

Of course, because the player you were changing wasn't on the DL.

Chris, I would think you could make that move up to the time the DL roster locked?

Sabathia was the player on the DL, not his replacement...

Once you submit your weekend lineup with the DL guy on your bench, he's stuck there until the next round of Sunday changes.

You can't move guys on the DL from your bench for the weekend for good reason. If you were able to, I could take my start from Milton early this week and then move Sheets in for his potential Sunday start. I would be taking advantage of Sheets' DL status to make a mid-week roster move not available to other owners. As it works now, I have to decide if I want Sheets in my lineup at the beginning of the week, which is equitable to the other owners. (Sucks for me, though.)

Yeah, you really have to be careful with this Friday DL rule--based on the rules, it's a one-shot deal.

Greg, a question for you: if an owner were to make a mistake and put the "wrong" player in for his DL'd player, would they be allowed to contact you and/or STATS and reverse the transaction (of course, assuming it's before the Friday deadline)? I assume that if something like this happens right before the Friday deadline, and a correction is allowed but doesn't get posted until after the deadline, that all league members would be notified of the correction.

Spyhunter is correct, when the owner took his DL player out of his starting lineup and moved him to his reserve roster, there was no way for him to then take a non-DL player out of his starting lineup. The computer wouldn't allow that, which makes sense. So before reserving your DL players, make sure you're making the right move and adding the right player from your reserve roster.

Could we manually make those changes if contacted? I suppose, but I hope each owner takes the time to make the right moves before Friday's games as we're not talking about multiple moves here.

I hope this helps.

Bump, this happened to me this week.

If you take a DL player out of your starting lineup during the week and replace him with an active player you then can't take that active player out later (even before the Friday deadline) and replace him with a different active player. The system is set up to recognize only DL players who can legally move from your starting lineup to your reserve roster. I can understand it when owners change their mind, but don't officially make your mid-week move until you're absolutely sure of who you want in the starting lineup.

Good luck all.

Here's another "oddity" -- you have a DL player in your active lineup as of the Monday roster deadline. You are pretty sure he's going to get activated on Thursday, but you don't want to keep him your lineup for the weekend. Under the current rules, you can DL him on Tuesday or Wednesday -- even though he's active as of Friday.

KOQ: True, but most people would probably not purposely have an inactive player in their starting lineup with an available alternative on their bench. This could happen for pitchers I guess having a start in Boston on Monday and a start at home against the Royals on the weekend.

Viper - this is already a strategy I have used (and written up). If for instance you had a two start pitcher - Monday or Tuesday in Coors and later at home with a good matchup AND you have a pitcher on the DL - start the week with the DL pitcher in; change your lineup for the weekend, DLing the injured player and activating your other SP for his second start.

Yes, I read that column Perry but that strategy didn't work as you had planned. Brett Tomko pitched well in Coors Field and got the win early in the week when you had him on your bench. Sometimes you can outsmart yourself.

For those who haven't followed the Rockies that close, they haven't made the over in 13 home games in a row. They have one push...the total was 11. At home, Colorado's over/under usually is between 12-13.5, but Vegas has been aware of what is going on. In their last home game, with Josh Fogg pitching against Toronto the total was 10.5. Is the Colorado shuffle over?

Is the Colorado shuffle over? The scoring at Coors Field has gone down each year since they started putting the baseballs in the humidors. It's a fact. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

There were too many injuries this week, many of which were announced during the early part of the week. This was one of the most active Friday DL weeks in the NFBC, with 170 different moves in the 35 different leagues. Bummer, but good luck everyone.
