And is it possible to see somewhere when the player will be coming off of waivers and into the general free agent pool? Another question. My team had a run differential of +159, the second best in the league, we went 89-71 this, which is decent but still we finished second to a team that had a RD much less than my own. Obviously, my guys were scoring a lot of runs but not at the right time. Is there a rating that controls if a player will perform well in pressure situations or not? or is this random chance? Thanks! Looking forward to next season!

Players come off waivers randomly to allow everyone a fair shot at signing them -- so there is no way of knowing exactly when. Players can be on waivers for up to a full week. Steve

There is no visible rating that controls if players perform well in pressure situations. It is mostly random chance and management settings. Steve

If you don't check 'Free Agents Only', then you'll get free agents, players on waivers and also players on various teams (essentially all players that fit the search parameters). Steve

But why are players who are already signed listed on the waivers? They are not really on waivers? Am I misunderstanding waivers? I thought that when someone is released they go on the waivers for a week or so and then go into free agency? So why would it list players that are signed? Thanks for all your help. One more question along these lines. When the season is advanced do all guys on waivers go into free agency at the beginning of the season or does the randomness of when players go into free agency continued despite the advance to the next? Not complaining, I agree with the way you do it to allow it to be fair, I'm just trying to get all the info I can so I can pounce on the players I need when free agency opens again! Thanks!
