Given Daniel Murphy's production at 2b, Wong kind of slipped out of my radar

Well thats a different story - nobody seems to know when the switch is flipped and that player is a true "free agent" so to speak. A week after 300 ABs? ok.. so if Player X has 299 AB's today and crosses this afternoon - when can he be claimed by another squad? Next Sunday morning? next Monday morning?
I was planning to pick him up the morning after 7 days. But he was picked up on the 7th day after he hit 300.

Wong went over the threshold on August 5th.
he was picked up on August 12th, which was the 8th day.

<539> Sorry have been busy lately, prepping two houses for sale.
1) Are you lodging a complaint?
2) Did you want to make a claim on Wong and that's why its a big deal?
May I remind you, THE GUY SUCKS!!!!

GO it is in the written rules that have been posted here.
After the 300 AB the owner gets 7 full days to decide if he will add him to the team, at the end of the 7th day 12 AM EST Anyone can pick him up if he is still a FA.

The way that rule is written I would contend that he was picked up a day early with that time line.

With the 1st "full" day not being till August 6th and the 7th being the end of the 12th and first eligible for pickup at 12:01 on 8/13.
It doesn't really matter to me in the grand scheme of things but I think we need to clarify it a bit.

Here is what the Constitution currently says:
Prospects may be called up in-season and can be sent back and forth to prospect list until they meet the prospect thresholds. Prospects may be called up or sent down anytime in-season or off-season prior to keeper declaration. If called up and made an MLB keeper, prospects will lose their prospect status.
If you drop them after they meet the threshold, any team is eligible to add them.
If they reach the threshold while not on the active roster you must call them up within 7 days or lose their rights
We can close the case on this issue by adding this sentence:
So, for example, if an unrostered player exceeds the threshold on a game that started on a Monday, and the current owner fails to promote him, he would become a Free Agent at 12:00:01 AM US Pacific Daylight Savings Time on the following Monday.
I'll add this to the Constitution and post it to the Yahoo Group if I dont get any objections in the next few days.

This is fine with me, thanks for the update Bean - think we just came across some vague language worth addressing.
So Player X goes over limit on Monday at 7 PM game.
His owner has until Sunday night at 11:59 PM to add him or the start of the following Monday he's free game.
Its really only 6 "full days" (plus the one where he went over) which is fine with me... it was that one spot where someone wrote 7 "full days" which is what didn't make sense to me on the timeline.
I like the way you have it cause it makes it really simple to remember... if your guy goes over on a Thursday -- you better add him before the next Thursday happens.

I'm so desperate for Ws, I'm letting degenerate gamblers set my lineup.
Gausman is only starting on 11% of teams, but Vegas says they are favored against the hard hitting twinkies.
Wheeler, on the other hand, is starting on most teams, but I'm benching him. That's right. Because the degenerates say they are dogs.
Lets see how that works out.

And for what it's worth...Gausman is still my prospect for another 7 days. He only had 122 career IP going into his start today.
Feel free to punish yourself as you see fit for the 7 K and 0.95 WHIP he got you today.

Huh. The Yahoo page said he went up to 125.2 on August 22nd, 8 days before I picked him up. At least it did. I spent the time to do the math, but now it looks like the source has changed.
I'm thoroughly baffled. I really did check and double check to make sure it was a clean steal.

My bad. I didn't run the numbers, so I thought his 7.1 innings today were included in his 89 IP this season since they appeared on his totals page already.

Yeah, though I don't like my chances. I'm nearly out of starts at all my positions except catcher, and GO's bats have gotten hot. I've been benching players against tough match-ups the last few days, I'll be dead in the water offensively in a couple days. I'll have to get crazy lucky with my WW arms.

At some point during the season I had 4 pretty dominant top-tier arms in Yu, Cliff, Josh and Zach.
Now I'm down one starter - Greinke - who may start the final day of the season, but I can't take the chance and I gotta skip.
Just in case you are curious how I could manage to rack up 134 moves!

Looking through, I'm now really not sure what will happen.
GO - I'm sure you know this given I'm assuming you have played yahoo about as long as I have, but I'm sending a whole armada of pitchers through tomorrow, which will put me significantly over the 1250 limit in one day. Since it's all in the one day I will go over the limit, Yahoo allows this.
I lost this way about a decade a go on the last day of the season (Curse you, RFS, where ever you are), when I wasn't aware of it, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up, just in case.
It looks like all the ratio cats are in play, mostly head-to-head, as well as head to head with HRs and SB. My main hope is that my fleet and free-agent rag-arms collect enough Ws and Ks to make a dent in your lead. A dubious prospect, but you never know.
Great season, either way!

Thanks all. A few weeks into the season I put that smack talk of "Dead Last" which I just noticed... a long ride since then. It was a fairly smooth ride up to the top with Tulo, Kinsler and Edwin carrying things early and a relatively smooth and healthy ride til like mid-August. I feel like the Oakland A's. I am surprised I hung on. 1 more day and bili would have been the Royals knocking me out of it.
I traded the volatile Verlander for some more steady SP in Ryu and a top closer which I think was a game changer. Tough to give up on a top keeper, but filled some holes going for it.
Tulo goes down at the 90 game mark... and here we go - a power disappearing act. Kinsler stalls... Wright, Gattis and Mauer fall off a cliff. Edwin to the DL. Cuddyer down again and again... Melky and Ortiz the last month. SP? Cain out for the year (a godsend), Ryu and Ross go down when I need them most. It was a mess of free agent pickups like Kuechel, Kennedy etc.
Who were the band aids? The late round trade swap for Danny Santana solidified SS, as did Mookie's getting a regular job. Leonys Martin was solid late aiding in the SB fix. I was platooning all these random split guys like the A's -- Stubbs vs. LHP only at home, Blackmon at home, Leonys vs. RHP etc.
And the strength of my team came from a place I NEVER invest anything... relief pitchers. Not just K-Rod/Holland you would expect... but Wade Davis, Giles and Betances specifically gave me a combined states that Kershaw would be jealous of. Of course to use those roster slots I lost a lot of hitting games and that almost burned me. But it was enough so I guess those guys get the MVP.
Came a long way from the damn messy Australia series... hopefully nothing that early again. Although the Van Slyke HR I drafted after the fact almost became a league winning HR. I still don't get why people were good with drafting players after knowing the results and others didn't pounce on that more.
Draft MVPs? Last four rounds of the draft couldn't have gone any better.

Melky

My story is I traded Prince, and my youth - Polanco and Xander, for what seemed at the time to be a pretty outside shot at the gold.
Didn't work out, but got close enough not to regret it too much. I may regret it down the road, depending on how they youngsters develop.
My bats largely stayed healthy and productive, so much so that I was close to 14s across board, but was in danger of running completely out of position starts with 4 or 5 days left in the season.
My starting arms, on the other hand, did not stay healthy at all, and that ended up costing me. Yu, Cliff and Beckett would have sealed up a few more points in Ks and Ws, and I could have likely caught GO in ERA. Such is the season.
