I think that has it (left out the illegal bids as instructed by gorshar)

I will post my team next, and I suggest everyone also post their own team in a similar fashion so that Mr. Baseball world can see everyones totals before we go to the next round.
:P


....top $ hitters are still out there ...not even mantlefan bid on the Mick (I think he's pissed)...and there are plenty of top notch pitchers to be had :twisted:

[quote:edbf37f7bf](left out the illegal bids as instructed by gorshar) [/quote:edbf37f7bf]

Well... not so fast....

I made the decision to disallow Wilson and Bagwell based on the rules we've used in all *previous* auctions which stated simply is that invalid bids are tossed. Done. See ya. Except in this case win, lose, or draw, an entire bid sheet is affected by the errors. So a case can (and was) made that all who made errors ought to have their lists completely invalidated. And that's too much....

So that this is not all previous auctions but rather the first time we've tried *this* type of auction and all of its new challenges, I will go ahead and allow Frank Bailey to take Bagwell and ironwill can have Wilson.
