FREE AGENT METHOD
In addition to activating and benching players each Week, you'll be able to sign listed free agents during the course of the season. Once the preseason draft has been completed, all players on the Player List who have not been drafted onto a team become available free agents. During registration you will have the option to choose the way you will pick up free agents during the season. You have two options:
1. Daily Waiver Wire
2. Weekly Free Agent Draft
Daily Waiver Wire
Any player not on a team and has cleared waivers (see below) is considered a free agent.
Free agent requests are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Free agents may be added at any time during the week and can start earning points for your team the following day. Any time you add a free agent to your roster, a player must be released to keep your roster at the 28-player limit. You must also specify the status of the new player (bench or starter) at the time the player is added. You must, at all times, have a valid starting lineup (see ROSTER). If roster requirements are not met at the time you pick up a new player, your free agent pickup will be disallowed. The number of free agents you add to your roster during the season is unlimited.
Waivers
To allow all members of a league a fair opportunity to add a player to their team, players that are dropped from a roster of another team in your league are placed on waivers for a 36-hour period starting once the player is dropped. Any team may claim a player on waivers, but will not be awarded the player until the 36-hour waiver period has ended. At the end of the waiver period, if more than one team has claimed a player on waivers, the player will be awarded to the team who has the lowest Waiver Wire position. Once this happens that player will be given the 12th slot in the Waiver Wire position and everybody else will move up one slot. After the waiver period, if no team has made a claim on a player, the player becomes a free agent and is available to all teams on a first-come, first-served basis.
Weekly Free Agent Draft
The first weekly free agent draft for leagues that start on Opening Day (April 1st, 2005) will be on Monday April 11, 2005. Results will be posted by Noon, with player requests due by 10AM. Leagues that start after Opening Day will have their first free agent draft on the first Mondya following their first day of official play.
Every Monday (requests due by 10AM-starting April 12th) free agents can be acquired by any team in the league in a draft that's run in reverse order of the standings through that Sunday's games (similar to the real life Waiver Rule). Drafted free agents become members of the drafting team on Monday, and can start earning points on Tuesday, following the draft.
A player making his first appearance in the Major League and not already in the game will be eligible for the draft the day after he makes his first game appearance; this means that a player who debuts on a Sunday will not be eligible for the draft for another week.
When you submit your free agent requests, you can list up to three choices for each open spot on your roster and each player to be conditionally released. That means you could, theoretically, name as many as 84 different free agent choices in your requests, and sign up to 28 of them, but you would have to release your whole team to do so. At the time of the first free agent draft, you will probably have at least two open spots on your roster because you're permitted to expand your total roster to 28 players.
At the start of the season, every owner is trying to fill out his roster to the maximum of 28 with the best free agents, and teams lower than yours in the standings may name some of the same free agents you would like to sign. For this reason, it is vitally important for you to submit alternate (second and third) free agent choices and additional drafts or you stand a chance of getting no players.
Whenever you submit a conditional release with a free agent draft, any free agent you sign from that draft will automatically take the roster spot of the conditional release; if the release was in your majors, your free agent will go to your majors, and if the release was in your minors, your free agent will go to your minors.
