That could be fun.

Re: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread

We could do both. The auction would put 10 players up for bid each day, and you would submit a silent bid on each player. It could be a one or two round auction. Lots of game theory comes into play there. It's the only way I could see us doing an auction. Getting 12 people scattered about the internet to all show up at the same time online for a draft seems next to impossible.

Put up all the players' names. Everyone makes a bid. The highest bid on each player is revealed (just the $$ amount, not the team that made it). There is another round of silent bidding where you may either outbid on each player or choose not to bid on them.

Agreed, I would rather draft even though 2x auction would be fun

Re: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread

When you say you all would prefer a draft, do you mean an auction within a one-shot draft format (like, everyone just bids on a player all at once, done, move on to the next pick/player)? Or just a straight up draft pick with a pre-set player value? I'm asking with the valuation of players and the team cap concept in mind.

Re: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread

I am not thinking clearly, if we are doing player salaries I guess we need to do an auction to establish value. Is there any other way?

Re: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread

I've seen plenty of pre-established values for players. I'm not sure if they're based on average draft rank or stat rankings, probably depends. That's one way, off the top of my head. That way, you could just draft straight up and each owner would just be responsible for keeping track of their cap hit as they go.

I like the auction aspect way more since we're doing a dynasty/have to conform to a salary cap. We can do a normal-type draft thread for the minor leagues.

Re: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread

Getting 12 of us online is an issue, but that's soemthing every league has to deal with - and there are 'auto-pilot' options for those that can't be there.

CBS Auction FAQ

or we could do something similar to how mmbt0ne did the NFL dynasty auction. Maybe even ask him if we can use his system. that would stretch it out over a month or however long we want to, and could let everyone be active for the auction.

NFL Auction Draft in SE


edit:

i think i'd prefer the mmmbt0ne system. releasing however many players a day we need to to fit it in the timeframe. single bid, silent auction ftw.

Re: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread

A draft with preset values would be okay. You'd be basically drafting surplus value, not overall value, which would be more equitably distributed (I'm guessing), and you'd still get to take advantage of players where your value differs from consensus, just not quite as much as you'd be able to with an auction..

But I'd still prefer an auction.
