  • September expansion

    Does any of your Leagues do that? My AL only league expands by 2 come Saturday.

  • #2
    this is our 35th season of "add-a-player" as per the 1984 Rotisserie bible.

    $5, contract is 25-S2. unusual feature is that you can't get rid of this guy if he sucks, or replace him if he gets hurt. you can't use the slot for a returning player, or any interaction with your 23-man roster. the cheese stands alone.

    that what's so far offbeat given that originally, the only ways you could ship out an active underperformer was to make a trade OR use one of three waivers moves all season - oh, and you could only claim bums who were waived by your rivals, and be first in line.

    also, a DL or minor-ed player could be replaced - but then you had to waive one of them upon the first guy's return, unless you had another opening. if so, the replacement was then "linked" to that guy. lather and repeat.

    even our league has loosened the noose a little bit. but we stick to this "24th man" rule. it's amusing at times - like if it's a SP who gets getting hammered and keeps pitching.

    Reed Johnson once cost me $100 because his Sept. AVG suckitude took me from T-4th to 6th place and out of the money.

    then again, Pascual Perez once had a 7-0 September for me in 7 starts. the gold standard!

    good times

      My NL-only ultra league expands on 9/1. You can add as many as you can, and the salary cap disappears. So, contenders have been stockpiling bench bats and arms for two months for the opportunity to play them all tomorrow.

            In my 14-team H2H we all got an extra bench spot today. I grabbed Villar for Castillo ahead of the frenzy. Stripling and Doolittle are due to come off the DL soon so one of them will fill my extra spot.

              We can add 3 players at a real cost of $25 each to the prize fund.

              I am rebuilding in the NL so need.

              All of my players that I could add in my battle for first in the AL only are injured or in the minors so no opportunity.

                Don't they have to be an NA player?
