[USML Announce] FAAB Fun

Sun Aug 3 07:14:44 EDT 2008

Since roster moves haven't become effective, is there a problem with Jeff
just emulating what the system should have done with these bids?

I don't think you should be penalized for not having access to email
yesterday just because the web site didn't process things properly.

Just my two cents.

Sorry guys for the delay but I was travelling yesterday and didn't have
access to e-mail.  I don't want to mess things up further so am willing to
accept Jeff's allocations but this is how I bid:

$74 on Bay
$69 on Teixiera
$50 on Nady

My FAAB remaining was $74 (full amt of bid on Bay).  I didn't know how/if
contingent bidding worked and figured if the system didn't want me bidding
this way it would stop me.  Otherwise it would treat the other two as
contingents.  I picked different players to drop for each (didn't think of
using the same).  For Bay, I had dropped my open slot (for waiving Tabata
earlier).  For the other two it was Albers and Gabbard.  Obviously, I'd
prefer that the open spot be used rather than eliminating a player from my
reserve roster.

With all that said, I think technically I should have won Bay but am willing
to accept Teixiera if that causes the least amount of angst/trouble.

Let's try this again. Bay is a Berliner at $52, otherwise the message of
this afternon was an accurate statement of the bidding outcome.

If that isnt Buddha yanking my chain after I spent the time to sort this
out, it will unfortunately mean we have to sort out the whole contingency
issue. I'll post something further tonight about our options.

Here's what I know so far:

Andy bid his entire budget on Nady.  I spoke with him this morning and he
had no contingent bids.  I spoke to Brad and he didn't bid.  So, pending
presently unknown bids from either John or Buddha here are where things
stand:

I had the high bid on Bay at $56.  He was my first choice, so we can end all
of the discussion about contingent bids and can treat this bid as
non-contingent and disregard the other two bids that I made to replace
Shelley Duncan.  The next highest bid was $47 from Rich, so he will be
awarded to me at $48.

$56 - JHW
$47 - Rich
$40 - Doug
$35 - MBB

The highest bid on Teixeira was by the Calamari who bid $69.  The next
highest bidder was Rich at $48, so he will be awarded to the Calamari (in
fact, he already has been) for $49.

$69 - Jim
$48 - Rich
$17 - MBB

The highest bid on Nady was Andy's at $64.  That was Andy's entire budget.
The next highest bidders were Rick and Doug at $29, so Nady will be awarded
to the Klein Nine (in fact, he already has been) for $30.

$64 - Andy
$29 - Doug
$29 - Rick
$20 - MBB

There don't appear to have been any bids on Griffey, so he will be available
next week.

Please let me know if you see a mistake.  And John and Buddha, please let me
know asap if you placed bids this week.  

Thanks,

Jeff

Andy's in a car and not by a computer. I am out in beautiful Grant Park at
Lollapolooza where the next President is rumored to be introducing Wilco
this evening.

I believe I bid 40 on Bay, 29 on Nady but cannot confirm 100%. Someone can
call Andy at 3174426981 but let's not make it Rich- I'd like to have a
fighting chance....

Let's try and get this FAAB stuff wrapped up.

In order for Jeff to handle processing we need to know what everyone bid.

So far, Jeff has information from me, Mark B and his own bids.

It appears that Andy and Jim placed bids, but we need to know the specifics.

Please guys -- chime in with your bids or confirm that you didn't bid.

We need to get this wrapped up promptly.

Thanks,

-- Rich
