Easier when you select quality players that no AL team wants to part with.   Like we did.

League:

  Here is a quick FAQ responding to many overlapping questions I have received.

Q:  How much FAAB compensation do I get for players traded to the NL?

  It depends on the method of acquisition: (1) players acquired in the most recent rotation draft: $2 (regardless of round); (2) players retained from a prior rotation draft and their salary was not deducted from your 2019 auction budget: $2; (3) any other method of acquisition, including players acquired by FAAB in 2019:  full salary.  See Rule 14.6, link here:  http://www.usml.net/constitution/#Article%20XIV<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.usml.net_constitution_-23Article-2520XIV&d=DwMFaQ&c=Od00qP2XTg0tXf_H69-T2w&r=WbAFAXbG7On4UBymjb2-zZ6uBgn3IoYJQbFZiA6qMRU&m=YYxSunbV6nYPJmenTJFlt714G80tEZ1oSqoXlRs85Pg&s=Zz7jHFmAuNYEN8-BF1OX0W14TSd2REjflQt9xTNjbFU&e=>

Q:  If I waive the players now who were traded to the NL, so that I have less than 17 reserves, and then I make FAAB bids for this weekend, can I use those empty slots?

  Yes.  Once you have less than 17 reserves, when you go to the first drop-down menu on the left-hand side of the FAAB section (the one that says “Replace the following player/Select what you wish to do:”), you will see an option for “waiver a pitcher or fill an open slot.”  Once you click that, you will see a list of pitchers followed by “Slot 1, Open FA.”  Select “Slot 1, Open FA” to use your empty slot.  Important note: when you have 17 reserves, the system does not give you an option to fill an open slot, so if you try to confirm what I am saying before you waive your player, you won’t see the empty slot listed.

Q:  When do I have to waive the traded player to get credit?

  If you want the FAAB dollars for this week, you must waive now.  However, if you want to wait before deciding whether to waive a traded player, the same rule linked above say that you can waive the player at any point during the season (so long as the player remains in the NL), and collect the FAAB dollars then.

  This should answer all questions I received, but let me know if there are remaining questions.
