Two seasons ago he put up an incredible 100IP without allowinga single Hr!!! A team record. Before and after, he sucked Updated Tuesday, January 6 2015 @ 6:06:51 am PST

He was one of those who's waiver fell after September 1st, so he spent the most time possible in free agency without the possibility of being claimed. That's strike one for me. Strike two is that he's a lefty and I really don't need another lefty Otherwise, he fits the criteria I look for in a starting pitcher prospect. Congrats on getting him for sure.

Or is every player random luck of the draw? One manager could put in 2 claims and win both while another could put in 30 claims and win none?? Not a complaint, just a question I'm curious about. Thanks.

For phones, or other mobile devices, I don't know exactly how that might work. Supposed to be completely random, although sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Several people that I've heard from on this subject have "shot" a lower percentage than would be predicted by a completely random determination on claims. One could suppose that the ones getting the better end of those numbers are content and don't really have anything to say on the subject. I guess it comes down to the old "your mileage may vary" thing and one would hope these things would even out over time. The fact that luck plays such a large part in the success or failure of each franchise has also been discussed elsewhere on this forum. Updated Tuesday, January 6 2015 @ 8:44:14 am PST
