Big Bang Auction

[gorshar]

Well if I jump first I have Dihigo for 0.57.

If he jumps first he gets Dihigo for 0.57.

I won't bid 0.67 for him, I doubt he will either.

I think the idea that Dihigo goes to a closed auction as part of the second round is a better and more equitable idea.

So basically Dihigo is off limits in the next round except to myself and Frank Bailey.

LeFlore is off limits except to howser the elder and joekendall.

Sounds like a workable solution.

My early results look like this:

I may have won all of my pitchers... That is either really good or really bad.

It looks like I won 10 of 15 hitters. Missed my 2 big hitters (Hornsby and Williams).

I have 25.30 of my 80 and 44.80 of my 200 to get 5 guys.

At least that is what I think I have so far.

[Mr Baseball World]

Sorry about not checking all the listed dollar amounts for tsn salary for each player. I had seen some that did not look right to me and checked them finding them to be correct. Then realized I have only had one ATG VI team(in a 60 mill league). Should have taken the time to check them.

Wasn't sure if I should say something about mantlefans bids. Ultimately thought I should not...........judgment call with no perfect answer.

Will work away at this as time allows today........will get it done tonight if folks have not beat me to the punch.

Thanks Hackra for sorting the results. One small error, I bid 11.11(doh!) on Walsh not 10.79. I've noted it on my list so my future list will reflect the change.
