[quote:11092f638f="PotKettleBlack"]now I have to figure out what kind of stadium to put this lot into...

*sigh*

My final number for Salary, according to the draft list is:
$188.51[/quote:11092f638f]

I have you at $188.97... which would put you over carr20. I will try to double check my numbers, (does anyone else have a running tab?)

[gorshar]

I also have him at 188.97

S9* = 4.42
R5 = 3.96

diff = 0.46

Though we might assume you will use the R5 version, for valuation purposes you have to use the S9* version as it's the higher value.

gorshar thanks for the detective work :D

(also, the ATG6 auction has begun 8-) )

[hackra]

this was from a recent ATG board post (I pasted it here, because I believe this strategy worked in our last auction, but may not now and I wanted everyone to be aware so they could judge for themselves)

Early after ATG5 was released, I participated in a $200M franchise league. Each manager had exclusive access to all players from that franchise, including multiple cards for several players. With $200M in salary cap, all of the managers had tons of extra money to waste with roster moves during the season.

A friend had a star get injured and thought, "No problem, I'll just swap him out for another year of the same player." HAL allowed the move, of course, extracting a bit of salary cap in the process. The new year for the player did not show an injury on his card BUT HAL would not allow him to be played until the previous injury period had expired.

We thought that was pretty good -- it wouldn't be fair to avoid the impact of an injury by changing a player's year. Bernie was one step ahead of us.

Nobody ever tried the same maneuver with a pitcher to avoid the impact of fatigue. I suspect that Bernie has anticipated that possibility and prohibited it, as well.

[BobBoone]

JoeK cannot bid high enough and the others passed.

My team is complete.

[hackra]

BobBoone's pitcher nomination slides to jet40 (who MUST get a 3rd pure reliever to have a legal roster, assuming he wins Merritt who would be his 3rd of 4 required pitchers who can relieve).

-mentioning the requirements as a precaution, I would not like jet40 to be forced to use one of his mondo pitcher's lesser years to get that 4th RP requirement met :shock:
