I mean, WTF. I just don't understand it at all. It's the AL West, there are only four teams. Granted they're all pretty good, but man, the A's are at least 20% to be playing October baseball. WHY BILLY BEANE, WHY. Moving from Cust to replacement level was really not good for my numbers. Really not good at all. Now this thing is actually going to be competitive.

I think we either allow bidding on all rookies or no rookies.

what about a rookie not drafted this year but had 20 abs last year. its going to be tough to monitor imo.

they're all off the table then

that makes sense

will help create more competition in the yearly FA drafts as well

It's good to keep things simple.

first FA's done. i can see all the bids when i process the FA auctions btw.

and a few people made bids that included moving someone to the DL if they won - but since making the bid they moved the players to the DL on their own. Then the system assumed you didnt really want to bid on the players - even though you have roster space and it wouldnt let me correct it for you.

So watch out for that.

wait i bid 6 on two players

did i win them for 6 because i bid 6 and that's what it gives them to me for?

or did people bid 5?

cause if i could have just bid 4... i figured it was like our software's max bid system

our auction wasn't silent though. we hadn't stated it anywhere, but i assumed this silent bidding worked where you pay what you bid. we'd have to manually change it if you want it another way, and it'd be a pretty big pain.

It is possible that someone else bid 4 or 5.

Also, Fifield would have bid you up anyway IMO.

Who else had an issue like this? I know that players can be added to any roster and have their salary adjusted manually by the commish. Is there a reason this can't be done this time, since it's the first time this issue came up?

Also, I didn't realize our bid was the actual price we'd be paying, I thought it was just our max bid. Seems stupid, but whatever.

i didnt see where i could add force a player onto a roster before, but i see it now. if everyone is cool with it I think pecota should get the player that he won but could process because of that weird DL hangup.

Can someone bring me up to speed on some specific rules in this league, I am somewhat lost. The rules page on Sportsline is kind of generic, I feel like I missing something here. Mostly with regards to roster rules.

Im looking at the spreadsheet and its listing 2 week drops, 4 free drops and FAs. Can someone explain this to me.

Sorry for being an idiot but I wasnt involved in the league when most of these rules were being discussed.

For the first two weeks of the season, you're allowed to drop 3 players are get $4 back. After that for the rest of the season, you're allowed 4 more similar drops. This was put in for teams w/ $0 cap space that might need to use an emergency add/drop - as otherwise contracts are guaranteed for the year (and any amount greater than $4 when using these 'free drops')

i'm just waking up so that might not have been clear
