OK. Your bid was first, so it will be a 250K bid on Dave Roberts the pitcher for the Iron, and there are no bids at all on Dave Roberts the catcher.

[catcher24]

HC now have 41 players signed for 80.25M so we are definately looking to deal, especially from our surplus of 2Bmen and CFers.

2B
Rich Dauer - 5 solid years under contract (2nd round pick)
Don Money - all star caliber in '77 (3rd round pick)
Rob Wilfong - lefty hitter, projects to be a good starter in '79, several other decent reserve seasons (3rd round pick)
Jack Brohamer - good part time lefty hitter in '77 (4th round pick)
George Zeber - potential playoff ringer in '77 (4th round pick)　　
Sandy Alomar - decent reserve for '77 (free for the taking)

CF (all have VG range CF ratings in '77 except White who is AV)
Omar Moreno (2nd round pick)
Dwight Evans (3rd round pick)
Jerry Mumphrey (3rd round pick)
Elliot Maddox (4th round pick)
Roy White (4th round pick)

We would also be happy to package two or more of these players for one more valuable player or pick.

Is Jim Lonborg a member of the Angels, as the DM disc suggests, or is he a free agent?

We signed him to a 4 year deal in 1973. It expired after the 1976 season. So he is a free agent.

Ron Cey 14.5
Pat Kelly 1.5
Woodie Fryman 1.5
John Ellis 500K

[Sockeye]

Looks like we ended up with

Bobby Murcer @ 0.75K

Quite a bargain in our opinion

[Windy City Fan]

I knew I shouldn't have bid on Rudi. Because of that bid, I had to refigure what I could bid on Watson. Which of course took a few seconds too long. Alas. Goodbye Bobby!

[mwiggins]

Looks like the Thunder's bid on Bob Watson is too late, as is everything after that. I should have the winning bids posted shortly.

That was about the longest 5 minutes of my CKL career. If I'd have lost him at the last second I might have started rebuilding a year early, as my Plan B's & C's for that 13.5M were all signed either signed tonight or last night. Well, I suppose that's what happens when you have to depend on free agency because you traded 15 draft picks for Billy North.

I think the Spikes got...

Watson - 13.5 (significant overpay given what Robinson went for)
Rennie Stennett - 6.0 (slight overpay given the amount of PA's he offers)

[catcher24]

These are the players who received no new bids since 9PM last night and are signed by the winning bidder. I believe everyone is posting contract lengths in the off season thread so Mark only has to look in one place. If that’s not correct Mark just put up a post where you would prefer them to be posted. As usual, if you find any mistakes please advise me ASAP so they can be corrected. I'll get a new bid list up in a couple of minutes.

Odell Jones – 250K, Gold Sox



Jones was a new bid from today, so he wouldn't be signed yet.

[catcher24]

At least one correction I caught already. Odell Jones was a new bid this round so he isn't taken yet but moves on to the next round.
