Well it shouldn't be hard to get an email notification when a player is waived. I'm just wondering if they have this feature.
I don't get notifications. But have a YahooFantasySports app on my phone, and so I can get into the site to check-in on shit, and make a move if I see someone on the wire who I like.
When Metro got Bargs early that morning. He just pounced fast. Admittedly though, I was there at 12:01am till 12:30 before I crashed, trying to pounce on Bargs, but Yahoo didn't reset the waiver wire on time.
Metro getting Bargs - and if I had been able to get him as I should have after midnight -- was just the residue of design and planning.
They might have the feature in your yahoo fantasy sports profile page somewhere, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Otherwise, if you have a smartphone or comp, I'd just bookmark the main league page, and check in whenever you can -- takes about 15seconds, less -- just to see if anyone new changes happened with adds/drops.
