1966 Free Agent Auction

[baseballPAP]

Culp 10.5 M...

[ElHalo]

People are really going nuts over Culp's 1970 season, huh? I wonder what I could get for Singer's 1969? (no, he's not on the table, don't bother... my hope is in my future starting pitching, although I'd be happy to discuss giving up people who can help this year, as I'll be tanking due to a lack of foresight in starting pitching).

[catcher24]

Culp 10.25

Good looking or not, I am REALLY missing something here!:think:

[ElHalo]

Wasp;

Please don't go back and edit posts to reflect changes in bids. Just post a new bid. It can get very confusing that way.

Fuentes, $2

[catcher24]

People are really going nuts over Culp's 1970 season, huh?

Ain't no way it's worth that kind of money! Perhaps something to dangle in front of an expansion owner for a high draft pick??:think:

[leecemark]

--With the addition of Hoerner and Gosger I now show the Diablos at 30 players. Jim, please check this attachment and see if you find any other problems.

[catcher24]

Everyone - Jim is absolutely correct. Please make all updated bids in a new post. We had some real problems with that last year.

Dead contracts are funny.

[ElHalo]

--Oh, here the the attachment

I dropped this offseason: Russ Nixon, Pedro Gonzalez.
I dropped before the 1965 season: Bob Hendley
I also don't have Hector Lopez; his contract expired after the '64 season, I believe.

You're missing Stan Williams and Wilbur Wood from my roster, I'd imagine because neither plays in 1966.

[leecemark]

Mark, for a 3rd rounder, I'll stop bidding LOL


Maybe I should give you a 3rd rounder if you can stop me from bidding;) . Culp was my fallback at 12.5 if I hadn't already landed insurance for Billy Williams. I still have 13m and only one spot to fill, but whether this is a good
use of it I'm not so sure.

O'Dell just isn't worth a multi-year deal to me, even with that 136 ERA+. You can have him.

[ElHalo]

By the way, I'm out like a light as soon as the draft is over; I'll figure out the salaries and the terms of the contracts at a later date. Skipped out early to do the FA signings, but I have to wake up at 2:40 (!!!!!!) to catch a 3:30 train so I can get into work and make up the time.

late...............

[leecemark]

--Okay thats it. More exciting than I expected. I'll get the winning bids calculated ASAP. For those under 40 players, any leftovers can be signed for 250k - first come, first served. If you're at 40 you can sign anyone else until after the first series of games. If you're over 40 you need to make cuts ASAP.

[leecemark]

OK, last good bid is JW's on Jim Gentile. I'll try to get all the final bids up in about 15 minutes.

--Thats quicker than I was shooting for. I'll let you handle it then Lew.

[ElHalo]

The Hard Cider and Diablos have a trade to announce:

The Hard Cider will be sending starting pitcher Pete Richert to the Diablos, where he will immediately become the number two starter behind Earl Wilson. The Diablos will be sending their second round draft pick in 1968 back to the Cider.

Say the Diablos: "We now have Wilson, Richert, and Brunet starting for us... and some middle relievers filling in the rest of the innings. Good luck to us. Part timers Jim O'Toole, Jim Merrit, and Jack Hamilton will be filling out the rotation for us."

[baseballPAP]

Unless I missed the name....
The Redbirds sign Milt Pappas for 250K.

[ElHalo]

Unless I missed the name....
The Redbirds sign Milt Pappas for 250K.

Pappas went in the premium free agent auction.

[leecemark]

--Pappas was in the PFA Friday night.

[baseballPAP]

I knew he was too good to slip through.....

[J W]

The Skipjacks are going to need to jettison three players. Here are the first two:

- C/1B John Boccabella
- C Billy Bryan

...they will all still count against the cap. Our final roster salary will be $99.25 mil. :nosleep: :applaud:

We're VERY happy with what we did considering.

[baseballPAP]

How about Hal "I left my bat on the bus" Lanier for 250K...that should have the Redbirds at 40 players.

[jkc32]

I beleive Hal Lanier was selected by the Diablos for 0.25.

[baseballPAP]

Oh hell.....just gimme anyone LOL

[J W]

...after ruminating, the third and final roster cut will be Ruben Amaro.

Ossie Chavarria is awarded the 40th spot for his better bat and versatility.

Congrats Ossie, yer a major leaguer! :clapping

[jkc32]

Shoeless will pickup Diego Segui.

[catcher24]

Mark, I saw your earlier post regarding Mike Shannon. No madness - just Stretch McCovey protection! I'd flip out if I lost him the last year of forced free agency!

[jkc32]

With the 6 players drafted and the pickup of Segui, Shoeless is at 40 players.

Good auction everyone!

[J W]

Jim did not release Gosger, and therefore we do not have him.

I missed the Harrison bid... if so, we'll keep Ruben Amaro.

[catcher24]

BTW, would've tried to get the finals up sooner, but that was a LOT of players this time!!

Have to run. Please note any mistakes found and I'll correct tomorrow. I'll also get out contract info and any additional cuts required tomorrow.

[baseballPAP]

Redbirds check three times, then sign Dwight Siebler for 250K.

[J W]

Here are the contracts for our seven players:

SS Ruben Amaro (2 yr/$.5 mil)
C Ron Brand (2 yr/$1.0 mil)
UT Ossie Chavarria (1 yr/$.25 mil)
OF Tito Francona (3 yr/$.75 mil)
1B Jim Gentile (1 yr/$.25 mil)
C Bill Heath (1 yr/$.25 mil)
P Jack Lamabe (2 yr/$1.0 mil)

We are at 40 players and a nice round $99.0 mil. ;)

[baseballPAP]

After spending some major $$ on a bunch of guys who likely won't see the field this season, the Redbirds announce the following contract info:
Grote-4 years
Culp-5 years
Hickman-5 years
Siebler-1 year

[J W]

Oop. Make that $98.75 mil. Amaro would've counted against the cap.

Not much but hey, when you're as close as I am to the cap every quarter mil counts.

[538280]

Cannons sign P Bill Henry

[leecemark]

--The Knights ink Camilio Pascaul to a 3 year deal. We ended up paying him more between the buyout and new contract than we would have just by keeping him, but we do get his last good year in 1968 out of the deal. Camilio gets us to 40 players at 91M. Still room for that big deal at the trade deadline!

[Wasp]

Earl Battey (4.75M/1 year)
Sam Bowens (250k/1 year)
Tito Fuentes (2.25M/1 year)
Chuck Harrison (750k/1 year)
Bill Hepler (250k/1 year)
Zoilo Versalles (750k/2 years)

Which leaves the Stingers at 92.75M with 38 players.

[leecemark]

--The Pirates entered the day with a league low 25 players under contract and signed no one. Their AAA squad ought to be very interesting this season.

[538280]

Cannons also sign these players, all to 1 year .250 M deals (Henry was as well):

P Carroll Sembera
P Pedro Ramos
C Jesse Gonder
OF Rocky Colavito

And this brings them to 40 players with a 71.75M payroll. That 33 for 70M I posted earlier, upon checking further, was a little off. I actually had 35 for 70.5 M then.

[Wasp]

The Stingers sign Byron Browne.

[Wasp]

The Stingers sign Juan Pizarro for their 40th player. Both Browne and Pizarro are signed to one year deals. This leaves the Stingers at 93.25M.

[leecemark]

Cannons also sign these players, all to 1 year .250 M deals (Henry was as well):

P Carroll Sembera
P Pedro Ramos
C Jesse Gonder
OF Rocky Colavito

And this brings them to 40 players with a 71.75M payroll. That 33 for 70M I posted earlier, upon checking further, was a little off. I actually had 35 for 70.5 M then.


--Colavito went to the Hard Cider in the PFA Friday night.

[Wasp]

Mark, when is exactly is Opening Day?

[mac195]

HC will trade either Colavito or fellow slugging outfielder Steve Whitaker for a future 3rd round pick.

[leecemark]

Mark, when is exactly is Opening Day?

--I just checked the opening post of the offseason thread and it looks like I failed to include a date for Opening Day. Can everyone get the rosters to 40 and managerials profiles ready by Friday? We could get started this weekend if so.

[mac195]

Mine is pretty much ready now.

[mac195]

HC free agents:

Gabrielson - .75 - 3 years
Howser - .25 - 2 years
Zimmerman - .25 - 1 year

41 players / 78.25

[Wasp]

--I just checked the opening post of the offseason thread and it looks like I failed to include a date for Opening Day. Can everyone get the rosters to 40 and managerials profiles ready by Friday? We could get started this weekend if so.

Yeah, no problem. I'll probably submit mine Wednesday, as I am going somewhere tomorrow.

[leecemark]

--Guess you aren't quite ready if you have 41 players (and I show you at 42). At least one last chore to complete another successfull HC offseason. Anyway, everyone please update your team page in the roster thread and then copy and paste to the offseason thread.

[ElHalo]

--I just checked the opening post of the offseason thread and it looks like I failed to include a date for Opening Day. Can everyone get the rosters to 40 and managerials profiles ready by Friday? We could get started this weekend if so.

If you could make it midnight EDT, I'd appreciate it. Probably won't have time to do it before then.

[leecemark]

--Midnight is no problem.

[leecemark]

--Here is what I have for rosters as of the end of this auction. 5 teams are at 40 and 4 others within 1-2 either way. The Pirates need 14 players (contrary to my previous comment they did land 1 free agent). The Gamblers need 6 and the Diablos need to cut a dozen players after their FA blitz last night.
--There is one correction made after I downloaded the attachment. The Stingers signed Curt Simmons only to later see he had been signed by the Diablos. Since Jim was already 11 players over the cap I originally went ahead and let Max have Simmons. When I came back to the thread I see Max had edited from Simmons to Pizzaro. So Pizzaro is a Stinger and Simmons the 52nd Diablo.
--Please point out any errors on your roster ASAP and make needed cuts/signings ASAP. Profiles due by Friday. Anyone under 40 at midnight Friday will have a cap penalty of 250K per spot charged. Anyone over I'll release a minimum wage free agent(s) if you have one. Otherwise I'll select someone else. I'll also be building profiles saturday for any team which doesn't get one submitted by Friday.

[mac195]

Mark, Lenny Green's contract expired so he is not on my roster. Also, could you post the rosters with the player ratings included?

[538280]

To make up for Colavito the Cannons sign OF Hank Allen. Maybe Dick will take it easy on us with his brother on our team.

[jkc32]

Shoeless signings are as follows:

Julian Javier, 1.75, 2 years
Johnny Edwards, 1.00, 3 years
Duane Josephson, .50, 3 years
Bob Purkey, .50, 1 year
Bud Harrelson, .25, 3 years
Diego Segui, .25, 3 years
Joe Sparma, .25, 2 years

40 players signed at 90.00

As a side note, Frank Howard accounts for 23% of the team salary!

[Erik Bedard]

The roster attachment is missing Lou Piniella (as it will be until 1969).

Gold Sox sign the following:

Wally Bunker: 1.75M, 3 yr.
Jack Sanford: .50M, 1 yr.
Don Schwall: 1M, 1 yr.
Maury Wills: 7.75M, 4 yr.

EDIT: Also, I released both Jim Owens and Dick Stigman during the non-tender period. This should put me at 38 players for 75.75M.

[catcher24]

Mac - I think this is what you want, but if not let me know and I'll try to get what you need posted (or Mark will, whoever sees it first!:laugh ).

[catcher24]

The Legends announce the following contracts were signed with their recent free agent acquisitions:

Jake Gibbs, Catcher - 2 years at 4.25M
Bill Monbouquette, Pitcher - 2 years at 4.25M
Gene Oliver, Catcher - 2 years at 2.25M
Bob Saverine, 2B - 2 years at 4.25M
Mike Shannon, OF - 3 years at 10.25M

Due to roster restrictions, recently acquired catcher Mike Ryan will have to be released. The Legends will still be responsible for his salary of 1.75M for the 1966 season.

That puts the Legends at 85 Million, 40 Players

Mark, that brings up an interesting question. If another team wishes to pick up Ryan as a free agent, would they get him for nothing, since I'm already on the hook for his salary?:think: My guess is no, that Ryan is just really lucky and will get TWO salaries!

[leecemark]

nevermind...

He would get minimum wage from his new team, plus your generous payoff.

[catcher24]

He would get minimum wage from his new team, plus your generous payoff.

Payoff seems to give an aura of impropriety:disbelief: . How about rectifying a mistake in judgment?:p :laugh

In other words, Ryan hits the jackpot!!

[buppers]

Is Forced Free Agency a yearly event or just for several years?

[leecemark]

--1966 will be the last year of forced free agency. The league started with a draft of all players active in 1961. We wanted to make sure there was some player movement so we came up with this way to ensure a decent free agent class, with the teams with the best records losing higher priced players. Beginning in 1967 it will be the rookie class from 6 years prior who become free agents each year (1962 debuts players after 1967, 63 after 68, etc).

[The Dude]

I have to leave my friends house in 10 minutes, and I don't have much time to double check anything, so these are the 6 guys I'm signing right now. If one of them is already signed, let me know, but I'll probably have to take the cap hit.


Dave Adlesh -.25 Million (3 years) C
Tito Francona - .25 Million (3 Years) 1B
Roberto Pena - .25 Million (3 Years ) SS
Marv Staehle - .25 Million (3 Years ) 2B
