Re: Fantasy Baseball Problem
I have encountered this situation before in yahoo leagues. If a player has never played in the majors before they are usually slow in adding him to the league after he makes his debut. A system where the first person to dibs said player would own him would get way too complicated and controversial. This situation is slightly different because it is the beginning of the year and Koo is on the roster from day one. HOWEVER, IIRC he is an import straight from Korea and has no major/minor league experience. This is another situation where online leagues are not perfect, you just have to accept the fact that it will take a couple days to add him.
To wrap up the rambling, waivers are simply a much less controversial way of settling disputes such as this. The player being added to the league is treated as if he were dropped from someone's team, after two days on waivers, if unclaimed he is a FA. Sorry buddy, but every commissioner in the world will just point to the waiver rankings on this one.
Also, one bad outing is not going to cost Looper the closer position. Right now we are 1/162 into the season and nothing has changed regarding Looper's status since last week. YES, at some point Koo could supplant him, but it is far from a sure thing. Unless this is a deep league, I think it unlikely that I would even waste a roster spot on Koo at this point.
