re: the waiver wire - how does that even work? Is is something we are supposed to setup? I understand the concept, I think :
1. a player is released on waivers, which last something like 3 days,
2. everyone who is interested in him registers that interest,
3. at the end of the allotted time, the player goes to the team in the worst position.

Still learning about all of this but it's pretty entertaining nonetheless.
I think that the allocation of waiver or free agent is entirely dependent on the perceived value of the player.

Each of us has a position on the waiver list (the same order as the draft I think) and so we can all put a claim in on the waivered players and whoever is nearer position 1 (not necessarily the "worst off", which is the argument which arose in light of me stealing Matthews) gets "dibbs" on the player.

I'm not sure if it's dynamic though. For example, I've already successfully obtained a player on waiver request - do I then drop down to the bottom of the order, or is it always the case that the top 5 or 6 players are always most likely to get first shot at such players?
