But Sunskerr is in premier, so I don't think he can see D league and is talking about whatever is going on in premier. I'm guessing he just sees people added as a 13th player on teams who drafted a guy like Kyrie, or there are plenty of others....many teams probably did...so it's fair that they took a risk they can add a FA while that guy can't play. Though Kerrsed may have like 5 injured guys so he may be out of luck.
All that matters is that 1) people can't pick up an injured player and put them straight on their IR, because the IR spot is
only for
your injured players 2)ESPN forces the team to drop a player once the injured player is healthy again before any further lineup changes can be made to meet the 12 man roster requirement.
The only stashes people should make (in the IR spot) are if they owned the player previously. If you have no injured players, then you'll have to drop someone before adding that player to your roster and subsequently the IR spot. You can then pick up another player from the free agent pool. If you have 1 injured player, by all means move him to the IR spot and place your FA stash on the bench.
That looks to be the case though, and as of yesterday I already have added 1 IR spot.
Though w/ regards to what's happening in the premier league: perhaps I just looked over what was going on too quickly. Right now I can't place healthy players on IR. Definitely a whiff on my part there.
I've been concerned with the IR spot because I didn't want people keeping healthy players on there i.e. basically having 13 players instead of 12 (and thereby entering a grey area of "is it breaking the rules or not"), which dilutes the FA pool. I also don't want people picking up an already injured player and stashing them with no penalty.
You can't keep healthy guys on there. Baiscally I went to add John Jenkins this morning, but when I did it said Rubio wasn't 'INJ' anymore so he couldn't be on my IL spot. So I had to swap out Rubio for Kevin Martin (has INJ) and put KMart on the IL. I could then add Jenkins for McDermott as I still technically have 12 active players and ONE IL guy.
Last year as others have mentioned, if you have a guy on the IL who has since lost that INJ tag, you basically can't make another roster move until you drop someone who IS active and then make that IL guy active again.
You can't add a guy straight from FA/waivers and put them immediately onto IL unless you already have an open slot.
So basically, if you want to add/stash someone - you do it like this (I'll use another league I'm in as an example, where the guy just wanted to stash Wes Matthews using his IL spot):
1-Add Wes Matthews, Drop Jeremy Lin
2-Wes Matthews to IL spot
3-**Free active spot opened up**
4-Then he simply added John Jenkins outright without having to drop someone, because he had that free spot open.
BUT, to eventually activate Matthews he must have an open active spot - whether by dropping Jenkins or whoever, or transferring another player with INJ next to them to the IL for Matthews.
Apologies if all this has been said already, we had the same problem with another league.
