It's one of the unique joys of Broken Bat that I've never encountered in another sports sim when you sweat out a minor leaguer only a handful of people have found and you see you got him. Big fist pump. Updated Wednesday, November 19 2014 @ 4:59:09 am PST

Then the sign column would progress like this since I belive most owners actually go to players page before signing an FA or placing a claim View>sign FA View>waiver claim>remove waiver claim Adding a checkbox/button to identify those players an owner viewed but is not interested in I do find it a bit annoying and redundant to keep looking at certain players I have no interest in Christmas is coming! Santa Steve?

I don't like wasting time when the process could be improved. How many of you are using dial-up right now? And how many of you wash your clothes by hand? Humans are always looking for ways to minimize wasting time. I don't think it's unreasonable to apply that logic to waivers.

I also agree with maybe a column that says that you viewed a player in the last couple of days. Of course depending on implementation this might require playing on the same device consistently which I currently don't do, spending half my time on my desktop and half on my laptop.

Others disappear in less than 48 hours, which is too quick in my opinion. Totally agree. Sifting through players that you've already sifted through in trying to make sure you don't miss seeing someone gone quicker than the others definitely is unnecessary. Though the joy of finding that great player outweighs looking through others multiple times, I don't see how anyone doesn't get that feeling like "I already saw you many times you terrible player why do you have to keep eating up my time?" I think either uniform waiver times so users could time their searches better or the chronological idea so users could check in every day and see who's up for grabs that day would reduce the annoyance without taking away the hard work. You'd still need to go through all the claims regularly to evaluate if you should put in for a player or not.
