NEW SUMMER LEAGUE - AUCTION - CHAT ONLY

[DHowser]

I would nominate Buck Martinez, but I know he'll suck wayyyyyyy too much money out of someones account too early, so I'll just go with Willie Mays.

[jmlopp]

I would rather not have a minimum bid. I will go with the majority
however.

[Palanion]

While I, myself, made a nomination for a player to be among the first five to be auctioned, I'm not sure this is the way to go.
Why?
Well, since we need/want 3 hitters and 2 pitchers how do we randomize 12 nominations to perfectly attain this ratio?

Let's keep it simple - [b:9f07fb90d6]BobBoone[/b:9f07fb90d6], you are the commish and creator of this avalanche of a league, you decide how these first five players are determined.

Bill

P.S. I am leaving work right now, and may not be online again before tomorrow. See ya later!

[DOHowser1]

Unless I am missing something, we begin by nominating 5 players, CORRECT?

bkeat23 nominated - Speaker
gdwarf07 nominated Frisch
DonFesq nominated Foxx
Palanion nominated Koufax
DOHowser nominated Ruth

If this is correct, why is the younger Howser nominating someone at this time. If I am not correct, I apologize and will sit in the corner.

However, if I am correct I would like to know how many mistakes the younger Howser is allowed before he is impeached.

Doug

[GFDWARF07]

Someone suggested nominating 12 and then doing another randomizer to pick. Anything is fine with me - even the five we have.

[DOHowser1]

shhhhhh......if this was in fact suggested, don't tell the other Howser.

Palanion mentions that Bob had originally suggested 3 hitters and 2 pitchers.

If that is the case, I will drop my nomination on Ruth, and in place nominate Walter Johnson.

[DOHowser1]

Therefore the first 5 nominations would be:

Speaker
Frisch
Foxx
Koufax
Johnson

If we are going for 12 then

Mays would be number 6

[quote:6d762390f6="Mr. Baseball World"]While we wait for the stadium round to finish, perhaps everyone could nominate one player for the first five and then get someone to give us a random set of numbers to decide which 5 of the 12(or fewer than 12 if we cut nominations off when the last stadium is picked) we start with.

Usage is good as well, Bill. Does that mean the minimum bid is 500,000 for every player?[/quote:6d762390f6]


I think the OLDER Howser needs to put is reading glasses on before he shoots his mouth off.
