I took in my first game at Yankee Stadium tonight and saw the Buchholz debacle in person. I was frantically looking through all of my fantasy teams to make sure he wasn't active in any.

Please---who wouldn't pitch him after the last start and the spring?
-
Oh god I forgot to bench buchholz.

Thanks for the clarification. So there is a consequence for the nominator if no one bids. As long as we all understand the rule and adjust our own bidding behavior appropriately, that's fine I think.

According to the rules page if I start an auction with no bid and you bid $1 then you will be awarded that player for $1. So no, the person initiating the auction would still have to bid. There is no automatic $1 bid for the starter.
-
Hmm. If I start an auction but don't bid, and one other team bids $1, does it do the coin flip thing?

I just reread the auction rules and it does not state that the nominating team must bid. Only that if there are no other bids the player will be awarded to the nominating team for $1. I agree that the nominating team should be required to place at least a $1 bid. Jersey, do you think this is something that should be brought up to the caretakers here at Ottoneu?
-
If it is indeed the case that you can start an auction and not bid on it -- and I think you can, it's a two-step process to "start auction" and then bid -- then I think we should have a rule that you must bid on all auctions that you initiate.

I guess I didn't realize we arrived at that conclusion last year. I thought there was an automatic $1 bid.

I thought I bid but I only would have bid a dollar anyway

Yes, but I think we learned you can actually start an auction and then not bid on the person. Maybe that's what happened here?
-
Edit Team B does not show up on the list of bids for Burns. But I'm pretty sure that's the team that started the auction for him. Right? Didn't we have this problem last year too?

Trade does look better--but that's an awful and fluky injury. Guy was going like 10th round in NFBC so teams were counting on him as a #2.
-
Damn, that really sucks. Expansion - you must be feeling better now. Stroman was going in the 18th round or so in ESPN leagues, I was going to be all over that in my redraft league.

Son of a gun. Stroman out for the year with a torn ACL.

definitely looking to clear some cap space. open to most anything, including moving Trout.

I'm a Red Sox fan so I sure hope he's worth those $12 for the next couple of years while he works his way through he minors!

I looked at what Bryant went for last year and saw 16 and figured that would be the upper end. That said 12 plus a $1 this year, and probably $2 next year assuming he gets September coffee. And we could all allocate some inflation to him! Certainly a risk that needs to be taken for a rebuilding team with money to burn. And if we all bid $8 -- he could have been had at $9.
-
Call me insane but I got him for the future for $12 not bad

I knew I wasn't getting Moncada with my $8 bid, but the max bid was $21? That's just insane... he's 2 years from the majors!
-
Thanks -- I'm assuming the player pool was the same across all leagues and someone would have suggested Lopez by now-- he signed awhile ago and is supposedly closer to the majors.
-
if you can't find a player in the pool, send an email request and Niv will add him to the pool. i actually wrote to him to add Moncada to the pool before our auction but he wasn't added in time.

Why is moncada available and lopez not?
-
Ahh, they're both minor leaguers.

Big trade two days into the new season. I can't even do the math on this one. Two top 20 prospects and another one not far behind-- but unclear how much value that will be this year. Not a bad haul, but I think half of the salary payment tips the scales a bit for Lakewood.

I'll just throw this out there -- if anyone with some cap space wants to make a run a Trout I'm interested to hear offers.
