Kind of related...I've wondered if maybe we could consider getting rid of the rotating waiver claim system all together and instead use some kind of a bidding system instead. I think Fantrax allows you to set a year-long budget for each team for making waiver claims.
If you use a bidding system, every team could be in the running for any player who is called up. But if you use too much of your budget too soon, you're out of the running at this part of the year when teams start making their September call-ups. I think it would add some strategy to a part of the BBFL that is currently almost completely luck.
