well, sandmen is also over the cap by $12. Penalties are incurred for going over the salary cap or having too many guys on the roster.
-
as soon as Daisuke Matsuzaka goes through we should have half an hour to change our bids with no problems
-
sandmen is probably going to have to dump a bunch of guys..i can't imagine you can go into the season with 60 or 70 guys on the roster
-
bah, just missed a few guys cause it said bid invalid.. Guh
-
then you can change/delete, etc bids.
-
i've been trying to up mine too...i figured out you have to find a sweet spot when the site isn't processing an auction
-
Well, I didn't bid on them all, just 99.5%!
-
Yes, I've been trying to delete my bids for awhile, but the site won't let me
-
sandmen and santurce crabs are going to have some issues with money and roster spots it looks like here
-
Lol Sand is going to win like 80 players if he bid on them all

Ooh, can some confirm that?
-
Yes blind auctions. As I understand if you have the winning bid you will get the player for $1 more than the second highest bid.
-
Golden Sombreros's trading block has been updated!
-
Are these auctions blind?
-
We've all got to fill out our rosters! Will be interesting...
-
Oh man there is like 3 entire rosters worth of players being auctioned
-
Thanks for getting this started Buhner. We should be able to set rosters around noon (eastern) on Opening Day.
-
Just to clarify, this isn't the regular bidding process with gradually increasing increments ($1, $2, $3). Instead, it is blind in the sense that you don't see how much others bid (and they don't know your bid).
-
Holy emails, Batman. I need to set up an Ottoneu filter...
-
Auction ended.

We've heard from 7, now. But still no word from the commissioner (Buhner). Any ideas?
-
Works for me
-
hey all, waivers is fine by me. i think based on our schedules it works best
-
Also, Felix Stoddeay's came up with the idea, so that makes 5 (and credit goes there for the idea).
-
Okay, that's 3 people in favor of the waiver wire idea. Can we get this thing started, Commish?
-
Time to scrap the draft and hit the waiver wire...
-
I don't think that more than four people showed because, while noon EST yesterday was proposed, it was never agreed upon or confirmed in any way.
-
I agree that if we can't get more than 4 people to show up for a draft that we should end the draft and start the blind auctions. Let's get this going!

So, what do people think. In particular, some input from the commissioner would be appreciated.
-
Under that scenario, all potential pick-ups would need to be initiated by March 26, so rosters are full by March 28.
-
Basically the blind auction works as a waiver wire, with bidding. You try to pick up a player and the league has 48 hours to bid on that player. The highest bidder gets the player.
-
We discussed potential options to salvage the season, it seems that "ending" the draft and opening up blind auctions is the best option (this is how free agents are obtained).
-
For those who couldn't make, the draft was an astounding success. Okay, actually only 4 people showed up and there was no draft because no one with the ability to "unpause" the draft was present.
-
So... the draft is on at the previously stated time (Saturday March 24 at 12PM EDT)?
-
I'll be MIA if it's anytime on Saturday. I could do anytime Sunday.
-
Is it the day or time that doesn't work for people? Opening day is in just 5 days..
-

Anytime should be good for me...we can also go to the open blind auctions that are available. I'm not certain how it works, but it seems that we don't all need to be available at the same time.
-
Well, three teams can't make it. Other suggestions for time?

-

-
Welcome!
-
hi, I just picked up the Sandmen
-
Sorry guys, I gotta abandon. Wish I didn't have to miss the draft, but nothing I could do. Have fun guys.
-
Have we heard anything from either team that didn't show up for the draft? Wondering if they're abandoned...
