Running a yahoo roto fantasy league

[TheNamelessPoet]

I didn't realize I had him highlighted and I wasn't on ly list I was just poking thru other players looking for who I might draft in the last 2 or 3 rounds... then it was my pick and I forgot to go back to the list I had made and I hit draft.

I was LIVID... he was pretty high too like my 6th or 7th pick

[OldFatGuy]

LOL

I did something similar. I was looking around at other options, and then damned beeper went off saying I had 10 seconds left, and I'm thinking no way I'm getting the clicks right to get me back to that guy in 10 seconds.

So, I typed in his first name, and the guy came up, and with 1 second left I hit DRAFT, but IT WASN'T THE GUY I WANTED. LOL. Another guy with the same first name, LOL (I ain't saying cause I still want him, he's still available last time I looked).

Only, I don't know how to get rid of him, so I can sign the other one as a free agent.

It let me move him from my starting lineup to the bench, but I couldn't figure out how to release him.

If you're going to drop one guy to get another, the easiest way to do it is...

when you're looking at your team's roster, along the top you'll see Add Player (or it might just be Add, I can't remember). Pick that. Now, find the guy you want to add...once you select him, you will have to drop someone to open up a roster spot for him. Pick the guy you want to drop, and you'll exchange the two players. Also along the top there should be some sort of option to just Release a player.

Now, I don't know what your league's Waivers rules are and that might come in to play since it's post draft. If you have waivers, it would like a waiver rule in a real sports league...you all are ranked according to the reverse of your season records (obviously you don't HAVE any records yet, so it's probably either the same as what your draft order was, or reverse draft order). You put a claim on a guy, then wait whatever your waiver period is (usually 2 or 3 days)...after that time, whoever has the highest claim that put a bid in on the player gets them.

If you ARE on waiver rule right now, I'd just wait until it's over and swap them.

[200tang]

OFG : to drop and add players go to the "Players" tab at the top of the league and then find the player you want. You'll see a green "+" mark and if you click that you'll be able to choose who to drop to add the player.

EDIT : AB beat me to it ><

[ragecage]

Yeah, LOL at you drafting Taveras. HoustonGM told me about it, and I laughed so hard that I wet my Depends, and I wasn't even wearing any.

It was funnier when I drafted Shawn Marcum and frenchredsox laughed at me because he was out the year then he drafted Tim Hudson. haha

[rockiesfan4ever]

God my name is even my roto league name and you STILL can't get it right

[BINGLEBOP]

God my name is even my roto league name and you STILL can't get it right

Ragecage is still drunk... we're all the same to him.

So when are you all going to post your rosters so we can tear them apart and make some early guesses on who will win the league?

OOPS!

A-Rod out for 10 weeks...at least you have some other good 3B on your roster.

I love it. 3 or 4 people were all "Miggy over ARod!?!?" When I got Cabrera 6th.

[200tang]

Well nobody knew what was going to happen

It figures HGM sets the draft the day before everyone finds out A-Rod is gonna be gone lol

EDIT : I never realized how many injury risk players Justice has.

A-Rod
Utley
Konerko(minor)
Kerry Wood
Eric Bedard
Ben Sheets
Chipper Jones
Randy Johnson

and then he has Matt Holliday who could be in for a decline in Oakland.

Lots of upside though if those guys can stay healthy, which they all should be able to do (except Sheets of course).

Hey, you yourself said later on that you were starting to regret that!
