I think we have a split on managers that want blind bidding and standard. So Hannes and I decided to take a vote. Their will be still limits and rules that we will discuss depending on which side wins. Please vote cause this is for you so we can find out what the majority wants.
Also, we decided that all undrafted players not drafted in the start up draft will be eligible to bid on in March. That way players like Pujols, Hamels, Verlander and more can be owned in this league.

Before we start, would all of the teams know which "team" posted the player (Not me, but some teams would go out of their way to "Crush" someone in desperation)?
I assume this is a one time scenario, and that once we are done with this "bidding process", then we go to a more orderly pick-up process i.e. waiver order, assume existing contract, standard rules...
As far as the bidding goes: How do you determine a winner? I think bids should be 2 years/equal money each year, and that's it (Total money wins, team who has worse MLB draft position wins in a tie). If you start trying to figure out if a 4 year deal is worth more/less than a 5 year deal you will create anarchy. 2 years allows more players to get recycled into the general population and allows other teams to acquire them (More interesting - Whoopee!)

I agree with the notion brought up by Texas. We should only allow 2 or 3 years on those players. Plus blind bidding and blind nominating sounds like a way to avoid people trying to damage other teams.

I am not sure.
Example: A guy like Abreu would likely be signed for a long term deal. Why taking this out?
2 years is extremely short IMO.

But then you can give them the option to pick up existing or dump into free agency... you know?

2 year deal at the "Bid", then (after the 2 year "Bid" contract) the signing team "in this league" has the option to then either 1) pick up the remaining "Real-Life Contract" of the player, or 2) Drop him back into Free-Agency

You may end up with a "Good contract" for the 1st 2 years, then, if you really like the player, you have to suck it up to keep him.

That does sound like a good idea that we can consider. This vote is more to see how we are going to bid. We can do that rule either way this vote goes. I do like the idea that if we do regular bidding the increments go to $.5M after the first 5 bids. I think that would speed it up.

I haven't read all of the notes on this but can we put a max on the number of players a team can pick up in this FA bidding process? I would suggest only three players are awarded to each team.
I don't think it's fair if one guy makes the attempt to bid on 50 players with the hope of winning 8 bids at the lowest of costs of say 1 dollar.

I agree with the number of players to bid on at one time. League should maybe pick (Their opinion by value) 10 players, let the League Members bid on a max of 3 players. Give it 24 hours, announce the winners, then pick 10 more. After top 30 players, whoever is left, resorts to "real-life" salaries via waivers. |

When, or what date, will we start to be penalized for dropping players?
-- Day 1 after the completion of the drafts
-- Sometime between the completion of the drafts and the March 5 date
-- After the March 5 date but before opening day
-- Or after opening day

After the draft.
We are thinking of a few days were you can do call ups and don't get penalized for drops.
But if that is not happening penalties will start as soon as the last pick is made and league officials announce that teams are allowed to Make roster moves.

I would like to suggest even a 48 hour window to make any drops after the completion of the drafts.
Also, I suppose this idea of dropping players might influence trading. If I remember right after the completion of the drafts we can start announcing trades right? If so, then it might be easier for a team(s) to make 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 trades when there are empty roster spots available.
