  • You seem like a generally angry person.

    Jake DeGlass and Lance Lymp on June 2, 2023 9:19 AM

  • We can all see what you wrote, including your stupid insults. You don’t like the rules, and you want backsies, and you’ve come up with a way to call it something different. Yeah I’m just not intelligent enough to understand this bit of brilliance, poor me.

    MLB The Shohei on June 2, 2023 1:05 AM

  • You still can’t read.

    Jake DeGlass and Lance Lymp on June 1, 2023 11:56 PM

  • I completely get what you’re saying. You want to be able to rescind your bids when the person in 1st has an unwinnable min-bid in, which is an implied ban on min-bid enforcing. It’s absurdly simple.

    MLB The Shohei on June 1, 2023 10:42 PM

  • There’s no call for that. This isn’t a new issue that I just started thinking about yesterday.

    MLB The Shohei on June 1, 2023 10:33 PM

  • I seriously think you can’t read.

    Jake DeGlass and Lance Lymp on June 1, 2023 10:23 PM

  • Not that there is something wrong with "bans" in general necessarily, but what I'm saying is that any such proposal is a drastic change which will be very messy to administer. The forums and slack are littered with custom rule ideas, and if you ask me (you did not, but again, you put it out there and nobody else seems interested to weigh-in) I've never seen one worth the trouble. I guess that makes me a big water-carrier (stan?) for Ottoneu.

    MLB The Shohei on June 1, 2023 10:17 PM

  • Michael, I get your idea here, and still think it's nearly a de-facto ban. I will just poke one more hole in it: 1st is not owned, it's fluid. A manager can place the bid from 2nd and then move into 1st overnight, say. At that point in time, it's now a problem for your proposal. It's a cut-throat business; as I said, I don't like the loophole, but there are pros/cons to bidding from 1st, the min-enforce isn't always cut/dried, and nobody is stopping anyone from min-bid wins. Part o' the game.

    MLB The Shohei on June 1, 2023 10:08 PM

  • Marc, I’m not saying there should be a ban. I’m saying that the first place person should have to carry some risk of winning the auction when they put in a bid.
    Say I start an auction for Player X but then decide I may not want Player X. I should be able to *conditionally* pull my bid. If anyone else bids the minimum, that bidder wins the auction. If no one else bids, I have to take that player.

    Jake DeGlass and Lance Lymp on June 1, 2023 1:58 PM

  • Go check out the forums and the slack. You will find this conversation hashed out in numerous places. You will find agreement, certainly, and also that the prevailing notion is that there’s nothing for it… but to only bid what you are willing to pay or what the market will bear… right back where it started.
