There are three general types of people that you are going to encounter in your average fantasy baseball (or any sport, really) league. There's the guy who got in over his head, didn't realize the amount of time necessary for fantasy baseball and now only makes appearances in the league a few times a month when the message board is filled with posts calling for his head for playing with a team full of DLs. There's the guy who checks his team frequently, but always has a bitch about how he's got a "REAL job" and he doesn't have time to sit up until waivers clear at 2:00AM or peruse the trading block all day from 8 to 5, therefore his team suffers and he harbors a grudge against everyone else with make believe jobs. Then, there's the guy who IS up until 2:00AM waiting for waivers to clear, he's the first to snatch up Dan Wheeler as he picks up his first save, and then declares everyone else in the league to be decidedly retarded for their inability to beat him to the punch.
Sadly, it's very frequent that personality #3 is in contention. Also unfortunately, the majority of us fall under personality #2.

So, if you're up to fighting dirty, here's some ideas:

Method #5 is soooo dirty. I wanted to punch my best friend in the face a couple of years ago for pulling that on me. Needless to say I don't play in leagues with him anymore. Any of the other methods I approve, but the waiver-wire trick sucks balls.
