Hi Chris,
You go to Players tab.
Decide who you want to see in the player pool....do this by selecting Batters (pointed at in blue) to see all Batters available.
See all pitchers available by selecting Pitchers (pointed at in red)
You can also select a specific position you are looking for by clicking on that position designation. (On of the options highlighted in yellow)


In your case I clicked on RP to make sure that I only see available players currently designated by ESPN as Relief Pitchers
(Red arrow)
Next I determine what statistics I want the system to show. For this, I chose 2017 Projections....which are exactly what they sound like. Estimated stats by some propellerhead @ ESPN.com
(Pointed at with blue arrow)
Let's say you want Nate Jones. (Highlighted in yellow)
Note the next date that player will be available. Wednesday. (underlined in black)
Click on the Claim Button (circled in black)


Now you need to Bid on the player. You will be bidding against anyone else who places a claim on this player prior to his release from the Waiver on Wednesday. It is important to note that you start our with $250 to use for the entire season. If you run out, you cannot add any other players. It is also important to note that you have no idea if someone else really wants this player and will bid $42 or if you are the only one looking at him and a $1 bid would win.
In the event more than one person bids the same amount of money on the player I believe they are awarded to the Team in the lower position in the rankings...or whomever drafted AFTER the other team bidding at equal value if this happens before the season starts and rankings are established.
(Circled in Black)

Now....it is pretty obvious if you are at your limit on players that you need to drop someone.
Put a check in the box next to the player you would drop in order to pick up Nate Jones.
(See the Highlighted check next to C Jonathan Lucroy. )
(I would point out that you typically would be dropping a similar position to who you are drafting or a bench player)





From there you confirm and await the notification.

Does this help you make some claims?

Perfect, Thanks.

Chris, that Wednesday waiver wire activity is tonight.... Hopefully you out in your moves. I think the rules in this league provide two wire activity windows per week - which I don't like overall but it does a good job of limiting "streaming" which is when people add/drop players every day during the playoffs to manufacture additional totals and win, when they really shouldn't.

Ani, that trade idea we had was one of the best ideas we've come up with. So funny and started a great smack talk climate pre season, which is awesome and will make the league so much more fun.

Jesus Christ we play with some dumb people. Kudos to Eric for picking up on it. Boo to Scott and his minion for being dumb.

Instant classic

Amongst the Ani

I don't know how many hints we could have gave Scott and his minion that this was just fucking with them. Jesus, fMe and I sent dumb trades with the same memo to him.

#FMeKingElitistAsshole
#AniKingDegenerateAsshole

The original king lost his crown.

Amongst the Ani

I'm actually insulted it never occurred to Scott I wouldn't be that dumb.

F Me In The Brain

I'm actually surprised that people felt the need to veto....But also that Scott would not see it for what it was. Props to Eric for seeing it as a lark

F Me In The Brain

Ok...Another post to try and provoke a bet.

Ed (Eric) is good people

I call bull shit. Both of you offered me trades involving players in your trade. What would have happened had I accepted one of them? What supposed hints were you dropping? Poor excuse.

I asked for a haul from you and then immediately accepted a trade from F Me for a discount. That was tip #1. No other negotiations, I just accepted his trade. If I was really going to move Bryant I would move him to the guy with a man crush on him that would overpay (i.e. you). I only took Bryant #1 to fuck with you which also should have tipped you off. I fucking hate the Cubs. Eric knew what was up right away and he is a masshole. F Me even made sure Frazier was included in the trade as he knew it would piss you off even more.

I use masshole in an endearing way. I loved those few days in Boston for Fenway. Amazing city with great people.

ed243421

no, really

I've always taken it as a compliment

And the Fenways were a blast, just wish we coulda burned one down

How would I know (or anyone) what the negotiations were? Why would I care that you took bryant number 1? I knew that I would get bryant or rizzo. So it doesn't really matter. Seems silly to draft a guy out of spite. But whatever. It certainly isn't a tip off that you were joking if you made a bad trade.

F Me In The Brain

Initially we were going to trade him back and forth a few times before the season started....but the drama was amusing enough to do it once.
Stirring the pot is fun in fantasy sports.

F Me In The Brain

All is right again in asshole land. King asshole completed trade with the other king asshole. Bryant is an Ani again and so is that shitty RP.

Wheeling and dealin

Let's start this bitch up!!

Amongst the Ani

As of today, the following teams have paid:

F Me's Assholes
Chicago #1
Bartolos Colon
2 Scotts, 1 Cup

Degeneratefk

Payment sent. Let me know if you got it.

Amongst the Ani

I got it.

Degeneratefk

JD (make baseball fun again) said he'd pay up by the end of this week.

Amongst the Ani

Thank you for the heads up. Half the teams still have not paid.

Scott, I had to decline that trade request. Let me evaluate my team after a couple weeks and we can revisit a Bryant trade. Would need to get F Me involved as I will only trade Bryant if Frazier is involved.

Why?

Amongst the Ani

Just joking on Frazier. I want to wait as I like my team right now. If I move Bryant I have a massive hole at 3rd. FA options are shit right now at that spot. If we were going to make that trade I need to make another move first.

tempo_n_groove

Whom am I paying?

Amongst the Ani

Me. Payment info is on the message board on our fantasy page on espn.

eeriepadave

I know i still haven't paid yet (I will by the end of the week).
