Lots of different strategies re: pitching budgets

Bogart $126

Cosjobs $62

Eephus $81

GM $48

Greco $76

Guru $102

Kraft $80 (no pitchers on bench)

Whoever Matt's Team is $113

NV $67

Zilla $99

Pump $67

Thoughts & Prayers $105

TRE $81

Hell Toupee $98

In the final flurry I pretty much went all bats hoping some would shake out as useful over the next couple weeks. I'll have to add some arms once things are more settled.

Cheapest pitching budget and only 18% spent on the position. I'm pretty thrilled with our draft in this respect.

Can your defense team take another client?

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I need to make some moves

when and how does this take place?

I'm going to put yahoo through its paces today, but I don't think we can stick with it...so, no moves until we find a final resting place. We need a site that has contract info and auction salary readily visible.

Speaking of resting, I'm really tired.

 

[Chemical X]

if you set up a cbs leeg, send me the info. i'll see if my boys can set up us teh free leeg.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Ok - maybe I'll do that tonight. Yahoo seems to not want to tell us much. I can only see auction values in the draft results.

I was really looking forward to their "draft analysis" write-ups

 

[Greco]

Without being a total pain in the ###, can you briefly explain how the waiver process will work?

$100 free agent bidding twice a week. (thurs/sun night)

The amount you bid for a player becomes their salary.

need to make a couple of moves

####### willingham snipe pissed me off And Markakis

TRE and I jumped on your kak about 1/2 second apart.. I ended up losing $1 on that which probably cost me a decent starter

You won't get this type of analysis if we stick with Yahoo, imo.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

And Markakis

Somebody went all the way to $2?

 

[Eephus]

Somebody went all the way to $2?

3 bucks. It was a bidding frenzy

Yeah he wasn't meant to be, but I'm sure he will earn it

$100 free agent bidding twice a week. (thurs/sun night)

The amount you bid for a player becomes their salary.

Right. So scenario A: I submit that I want player X for $1. Another teams submits for same player @ $1. who gets him?

scenario B: I submit for player X @ $2. Another teams puts in for him @3. Do I have the opportunity to bid on that player again?

A. I think there is an order set. I don't recall the formula but if it's a tie it uses that order and the team higher in that order get's the player

B. no it's blind bidding so $3 would get him

I've discovered a hangover cure it appears. Two chili dogs before excessive shots, followed by two chilli dogs the next day = HANGOVER GONE.

 

[Greco]

Another question. I have a player that I spent say 3 bucks on. I drop him. Do I have 3 bucks credit?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I took a 2 hour nap. Work>hi

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Another question. I have a player that I spent say 3 bucks on. I drop him. Do I have 3 bucks credit?

The in-season salary cap is expanded to $320 to allow room for trades and free agent acquisitions.

Also yes, when you drop a guy your total salary # drops in accordance

some real quality there

Way too early for Hanley imo, and I paid $33 for him. Cutch seems solid here with the steals bonus.

The pick happened right after Chris B Young so there's that

 

[HellToupee]

Viva la transactions!

please make it so

 

[cosjobs]

This was my second auction.

First one was NFL last year and after the draft I still had about 30% of my money left.

This time I spend all my money before the first 100 players were off the board.

The best strategy would probably be somewhere between those two extremes.

sigh

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Was too hungover/busy with work to load to CBS. Will do it tomorrow and email invites. Hopefully we can have our first faab run maybe by 3/16? That way we'd have two runs before the Aussie games (sun/thur)

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Setting up the CBS league now. Hopefully you all got or are getting an email shortly to join. I'll start inputting players from the auction now and should be able to finish it today. :hugs:

Appreciate the effort. The CBS Commissioner's interface is pretty poor.
