Offseason Schedule

If you want to add an extra sim to the end of the season then thats all fine and dandy with me. However waivers is a joke. People waive players serioulsy for the sake of making a post half the time it seems. A lot of teams waiving players hope for some sort of gold in a trade. If teams didnt want these guys all year long theres a good chance they don't really want them now. So I don' think things should be extended simply to make more time for potential waiver trading. All waivers should be IRR. That way you won't see people waiving half their team with basically no intention of really moving anyone. It's pretty much a waste of time sifting through all those players when they don't plan on moving them anyway.

Waivers are just fine. Some use it properly, while most others don't. You are at least right on the part where teams want to strike gold for waiver trades. Unless you're waiving a very good player with both a good amount of team control and contract situation, you're not getting face value. For 1.5 months it isn't worth giving up much for player who'll hit the FA market.

In the MLB most every player hits the waiver wire post-deadline. So, it being a waste is just your own opinion. I usually am able to work over waiver deals (either me waiving or claiming) every year, so I'm doing something right. People just need educated on what to expect from a waiver deal.
