Injured Reserve - open waivers

[yogi]

swerb, I've already got to put Pavano on IR which opens up a roster spot after the draft.

When will the waiver wire open after the draft?

Any special rules?

[swerb]

We will open the waiver wire as soon as the first pitch is released in Sunday's Tribe/White Sox game, which kicks off the regular season.

Players must be on the MLB IR to be placed on your IR. That is the only rule. When they return, I give people a day or so to reactivate them before imposing my evil powers.

Gottcha.

It's just that they already gave Pavano the IR option on the roster.

Guess they musta knew..

If you want to change your roster, you see you made a mistake in the draft. When does the waiver wire open? The day after the last player is drafted? Like Thursday?

I understand the IR, but we have three or four days until the season opens. I am not saying I made a big mistake, but I could see one or two changes that might improve my team.
