Too Late

[J W]

I believe that's the bell...

[catcher24]

OK guys, give me about 15 minutes to get the results posted and a second phase bid sheet up.

[Sockeye]

I believe the Angels landed the following players

Jim Sundberg: 8.25M
Pat Kelly: 0.25K
Bob Boone: 0.50K
Bob Bailor: 1.00M
Greg Gross: 0.25K
Al Olmsted: 0.50K

[Windy City Fan]

I believe the Thunder got
Mike Hargrove 12.0
Larry Hisle 500K

I don't believe the Tyrants got anyone yet

[scubadan]

I believe the Boys signed the following:

Terry Whitfield for 250k
Gary Woods for 500k

I don't think that's going to bring us a pennant.

The Hisle bid for 500K is here: http://www.baseball-fever.com/showth...30#post1983830

OK, thanks Craig. I couldn't remember how far back it was. Appreciate your help, and he's yours for sure!

[J W]

The Skipjacks are pleased to bring back Tommy John after a one year respite, and reports have it they will sign him to a 3 year deal.

On the other hand, the Skipjacks will miss Jim Rice and Warren Cromartie, two anchors in the outfield, and wish them well moving forward.

[catcher24]

I'm sure you'll confirm it but your listing for Hisle matches my spreadsheet.

I think Jesse Jefferson's first bid was just in the last hour so I don't think he's done yet.

Absolutely correct Dan, and I honestly don't know how I messed that one up. It was nearly my last bid. In too much of a hurry and forgot to add the asterisk, which is the only way I can remember. Thanks for catching that and sorry that I screwed up.
