These are the bids in the preliminary round of the Free Agent auction through Post #220 (that's as far as I could get before leaving for work this morning - I'll catch up this evening) . As usual, I believe they are accurate, but if you find a mistake please advise ASAP so I can make a correction. The preliminary phase ends at 8PM tonight (Tuesday January 18). The 250K phase of bidding then begins at 9PM tonight (Tuesday January 18) and runs until 8PM tomorrow, Wed. Jan 19th. Any player that has received another bid since 9PM Tuesday will continue. Any player who has received no further bid since the end of the preliminary round at 8PM Tuesday goes to the bidding team.

And many more I'm sure, Lew only got half way thru last nights action before he had to leave for work. I would recommend that anyone interesting in bidding before the official list goes up tonight go throughthe thread (at least startign with post 220) rather than go off the list. Or you can just wait. Nobody will be signed until Wednesday night anyway.

Oops, I didn't notice is was just through post 220. Sorry Lew.

[leecemark]

--I'd recommend everyone keep their own list of players they are bidding on. As of this morning I have the Corsairs at 39/98.25 with both contracts and high bids (so they will be standing by unless one fo their big bids gets topped). The Knights are at 36/69.25 - and just resting before going back to battle for the players we've had topped :).

[mwiggins]

The Spikes are currently at 40 players for 85.5M. Seems like a nice active FA market so far. The good talent got bid up pretty quickly, as opposed to everyone waiting to poach players before the deadline tonight.

Yes this has been very different than last year when we switched to this approach. I don't think anyone is going to slip through the cracks as either an
underpaid star or a lesser player who joins us at 250K in the 1M round. There is no deadline tonight though. Tonights list won't have anyone signed to a contract and there will be another 24 hours to be at 250K increments before those first signings at 8PM tomorrow.

Mark, I think this bid put you over 100 (100.25 to be exact) in open bids. Please double check and rescind the bid if so.

Everyone, please ensure you keep tabs on your running total. Going forward if anyone goes over and I or another owner catch it you'll be prohibited from further bids on that player for the remainder of the auction.

Sh#t. Yes, your number is correct. I missed the Staub bid when I updated my spreadsheet this morning.

The Morgan bid is recinded and I'll stay clear of him the rest of the auction and take the $5M cap hit next year.

I don't envy Lew. This has to be the longest list of bids ever.

[catcher24]

The Angels have the current high bid on Joe Morgan at 13.5M. However, I don't know if that would now put them over the cap, since Mark W. posted a higher bid which put him above the cap and had to be rescinded. Garry, you may want to check your bid totals now. There may be some bids that you'll have to rescind, or I don't know for sure how it will be handled IF you're over.

We have been allowing some space. Even with the Morgan bid of 13.50M we stand at 91.50M total so we're good to go.

[catcher24]

Anyway, here is the current list as I have them through post #468. I wanted to put in a couple of bids myself but didn't have time. Tried to get the one bid in but one minute too late.

I think I'll be able to do a little better tomorrow. I go in to work later than usual and should get out early. I'm off Thursday, so no problem there, and Friday is another short day. Today was the only problem.
As always, if you find any mistakes please bring them to my attention ASAP for correction. As I mentioned in my email above, I don't know how the Spikes overbid on Morgan and subsequent rescinding of that bid has affected the Angels cap, and of course that could produce a domino effect.

We have been allowing some space. Even with the Morgan bid of 13.50M we stand at 91.50M total so we're good to go.

Good, mighty glad to hear that.

I think given the circumstances your "late" bid should stand. Thanks again for taking all that time to make sense of our bidding. It is appreciated.

Whatever happened to Reggie Smith? I thought he was a free agent but he's not on the most recent list.

The Blues own Smith @ 13 Mil through 1978

Thanks Mark, but it's no problem. Heck, I'll just put the bid in at 9 tonight. Anyone who was going to overbid will still do it anyway, and if no one was going to they probably won't.

Also I appreciate that Jason updated the bids sheet this morning. I would only ask that if Jason or anyone else does so in the future, please PM me to that effect so that I don't find out about it after I've already spent 45 minutes updating my list to that point.:banghead:

The Morgan bid is recinded and I'll stay clear of him the rest of the auction and take the $5M cap hit next year.

--That won't be neccessary. No harm done at this stage of the bidding. I just want to remind everyone to stay within cap on their open bids.

Agree completely. You've contributed so much to add to the league that one small mistake shouldn't be held against you.
