Moneyball Free Agent Signings 2024

Tc: Right it’s league precedent. The idea is to give an advantage to the team with the worst record last year similar to advanatages in draft orders in real life. The “weakest” team gets to control which player gets thrown out and under which terms in descending order to the best team, who has least control over draft dynamics. Exception: If in the middle of the draft a team who is on the clock to bid but is slow to nominate a player even though they are expected to nominate a player ASAP, they can be skipped by the next team in order once another player is signed

Yup, what you state is standard practice in most keeper leagues. I was asking for a clarification of the phrase "The bottom six teams* will initiate the bidding process."

What does that mean?

Meaning that he wants six players being bid upon at a time. Last year we maxed it at 4 for most of the draft.

It will take a short while to get to the first six of course. Team 12 goes first, then 11, etc and fairly quickly you get six names on the board and that becomes the norm the rest of the way

OK, got it, thanks!

Old: right, a legal upbid either must have more money or more length in it while satisfying bid/year $ minimums, but it doesn’t have to have both.

This is correct. I'll fix the language in the rule.

We bid in order from last place finisher to first place finisher. Once six players are in the bid pool there are no new nominations until a player is signed. Once any player is signed the next team makes a bid on a new player so that there are always six being bid upon at any time.

Hey Phil,

Thanks for updating my team page. I noticed my 3rd round prospect pick from Paul J on page 141 was not changed to me.
I also noticed my totals seemed to be off but I think it may be because 3 dropped players are still on my roster and are listed as dropped players and salaries are charges in both places. The players are: May, Wells and Whitlock. Can you check?

Thanks,

Mike

And we need to add the 3x500k salaries to each spreadsheet for this year's prospect draft
