1968 Free Agent Auction

[leecemark]

Going twice.....speak now or forever hold your peace

[baseballPAP]

Redbirds announce a trade with EB....sending away next year's #1 pick for Maury Wills.

[Erik Bedard]

Already posted, but I'll confirm just in case. This is what you call sticking your neck out.

[mac195]

The Gold Sox trade Maury Wills to the Redbirds for their 1969 first-round pick.
:eek: ....

[leecemark]

Robinson sold to Badgers for 13M

[-Kyle-]

Huh, since the FA auction is pretty much over...I guess I can go off to bed. 'Night :)

[leecemark]

Last player up, Dennis Menke

[-Kyle-]

Ugh fine 5m

[mac195]

Menke 3M ...

[leecemark]

:eek: ....
I second that. High price to pay for an aging SS.

[Erik Bedard]

5.25M on Menke

[mac195]

...........5.5

[baseballPAP]

Menke 8M....

[-Kyle-]

Yeah, but PaP is probably making a real run for the division, so his pick might not be a 1-4 pick. Wills is okay, not great, but okay.

[leecemark]

Skipjacks go 10M

[catcher24]

Menke 11M

[-Kyle-]

I'm out again I guess. Cya for tonight. :D

[Erik Bedard]

I didn't just give you Wills so you could snatch Menke from me!

8.25

[Erik Bedard]

Okay, 11.25

[catcher24]

I think Scott gave up too much, but if he wins the division he looks like a genius!

[leecemark]

Have to run in a couple minutes. Lew will wrap things up for the evening. Good time guys. Wish I had soem money of my own to spend, but I did have fun spending other peoples:).

[Erik Bedard]

... and I look like a fool.

[mac195]

Mark, when can we make first bids on the other players?

[catcher24]

Menke 12M - now you can go, Mark.

[leecemark]

--Skipjacks go 12m

[baseballPAP]

I second that. High price to pay for an aging SS.

Low price to pay for filling a GAPING hole with a solid performer for a couple of seasons. That #1 was no better than 8th or so in a shallow draft class next year.

[Erik Bedard]

12.25 Menke

[catcher24]

Mark, when can we make first bids on the other players?

You can bid as soon as this auction ends if you want, Mac.

Mark, have a good time!!:dance

[baseballPAP]

Menke 13M....

[catcher24]

Too rich for me. Legends withdraw.

[Sockeye]

Wow if someone would have told me coming in that Morgan would go for the 6th highest amount tonight....I would have told them they had a hole in their screen door...

[leecemark]

... and I look like a fool.

--That was a little chancy giving up your SS for a possibility of a litttle upgrade. Maybe tightens things back up a little between us:cap:.

[Erik Bedard]

13.25.....

[baseballPAP]

14M for Menke

[catcher24]

Menke 13M....

Didn't you just trade a #1 pick for a SS? Trying to hog all the good ones, just like PAP2, huh, Scott? :rolleyes:;)

[Erik Bedard]

Now I feel like an idiot. Gold Sox pass.

[catcher24]

OK, I can't believe I got Joe Morgan for less than Denis Menke - a LOT less!:rofl:

[baseballPAP]

If I didn't have Carew Lew, it would have cost you a lot more.....

[catcher24]

Now I feel like an idiot. Gold Sox pass.

Hey Dan. Maybe Scott will trade Wills back to you now for your 1970 1st rounder....

[catcher24]

Menke, 14m, going once to the Redbirds...

[Erik Bedard]

Heh. You've got that one, Lew.

[baseballPAP]

Hey Dan. Maybe Scott will trade Wills back to you now for your 1970 1st rounder....

Not trying to rub it in...but that is funny! :rofl:

[catcher24]

If I didn't have Carew Lew, it would have cost you a lot more.....

Yeah, but you did and it didn't.:dance

But wait until this contract of Morgan's is up. 20M+ easily next time.

[catcher24]

Denis Menke, going twice.....

[baseballPAP]

If someone doesn't get there first, I predict the first 30M contract for Morgan next time around.

[Erik Bedard]

Gold Sox are now in the market for an SS. I am literally kicking myself right now.

[catcher24]

Denis Menke goes to the Redbirds for 14M.

That ends the Premium Free Agent auction for 1968. Bidding may now start for the regular free agent auction.

Thanks for a great time this evening, guys, as always!!

[Erik Bedard]

Scott, I've got to hand it to you. I completely didn't see that coming.

[catcher24]

If someone doesn't get there first, I predict the first 30M contract for Morgan next time around.

I certainly wouldn't disagree, Scott. Two MVP seasons, and two other seasons close to MVP caliber - from the second base slot!

[mac195]

Gold Sox are now in the market for an SS. I am literally kicking myself right now.

I don't see why. You just got a 1st round draft pick for Maury Willls... you did better than anyone else here tonight.

[Sockeye]

Thanks for a fun evening. Special thanks to Mark for running the draft. Nice job! I'm off to work ya'll. Night

[Erik Bedard]

That 1st-round pick may have cost me the division. Of course, if every season has me winning the division by 25 games, downgrading to Mark Belanger isn't that serious.

[catcher24]

Dan, I've got Campy Campaneris. How about him and Tommy John for a #1 draft pick?

[Erik Bedard]

For the Redbirds 1969? It's done.

[catcher24]

See you, Garry. It's a good time, isn't it?

[catcher24]

For the Redbirds 1969? It's done.

Nope, not that draft pick...:eek::dismay:

[catcher24]

Of course, if every season has me winning the division by 25 games, downgrading to Mark Belanger isn't that serious.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news again, Dan, but I ran another sim - and you guys tied for the division lead, with the loser of your playoff not even getting into the playoffs. Of course, I had Worthington as the closer and he blew 11 saves....

[baseballPAP]

Still tweeking, but it doesn't appear the effort will be enough....looks like another (albeit MUCH stronger) sub par finish behind EB and the Knights.

[catcher24]

See you later, guys!:waving

[Erik Bedard]

That's why I didn't want him closing any more.

[catcher24]

I think a big problem, Scott, is having the computer set the lineups. I've found most lineups/rotations that the CM sets up are pretty far away from what a human will set. Things can change dramatically once the human element enters into it.

[Erik Bedard]

The Gold Sox quickly plug up the hole created by trading Maury Wills, acquiring Gene Alley from the Shoeless Joes for their 1971 second-round pick.

[jkc32]

Confirmed.

[catcher24]

The Legends announce that Joe Morgan has signed a five year agreement, which will keep him a Legend through the 1972 season.

[Sockeye]

The Angels announce they have signed Gaylord Perry to a 5 yr/137.5 million dollar deal and Dave McNally to a 5 yr/110 million dollar deal.

[leecemark]

--I see I've returned in time to make the first bid of the secondary auction. The Knights bid 750K on Gary Sutherland.

[baseballPAP]

The Redbirds make Menke's deal good for 3 years.

Also, I'll submit a bid of 1M for Pete Ward.

[-Kyle-]

Gary Sutherland 1m

[leecemark]

Julian Javier .75

[-Kyle-]

So when does this auction conclude again? I am leaving for La Florida on Sunday. Do I need to send a proxy?

[-Kyle-]

Dave Duncan 250k (yes I am desperate)

[leecemark]

--It wraps up 9PM EST on Tuesday. You'll definatley want a proxy if there are positions you HAVE to fill. The leftovers won't be pretty. I am not exactly busy with my own bidding (only 1M under cap) so I can cover for you if you want.

[-Kyle-]

Errr yeah. I am going to try to make a proxy between packing

[buppers]

The auction ends at 9:01 BBF time (or 10:01, depends on the start time, but one hour from the single bid per post time) and any bids after that time are invalid. You can lose a guy you figured you had all along in the last 30 seconds.

Which is correct end time, 9PM or midnight?

Ed

[catcher24]

Mark, midnight is rather late for the end. That makes the final hour of single bid posts starting at 11PM. I thought the final hour was starting at 8PM and concluding at 9PM.

[catcher24]

The Legends post the following free agent bids. I apologize if anyone is on a roster; let me know and I'll remove them. However, they all show as free agents in the most recent file I received from Mark.

Tommy Harper - 250K

Jim McAndrew - 500K Badgers
NOTE: The listing of Jim McAndrew is, I believe, a mistake. He was a second round pick of the Angels in this year's rookie draft and I can't believe they let him go to free agency.

[buppers]

Lemaster - 1.25
Segui - 1.25

[catcher24]

Please see the note above. I have to think that Mark just forgot to put McAndrew on the Angels roster. They drafted him in the second round of this year's rookie draft, and I sure can't believe Garry made him a FA already!:confused: If he is a free agent, I can see some pretty high bidding on him!

[buppers]

Upon further review, I see McAndrew picked in 2nd round (with the Badgers pick, no less)

Looks like Mark STILL needs a secretary (see last year):)

[leecemark]

--Get me a good looking one will you:). Of course then I'd have to find an office outside of the house:shhh:. Sockeye pointed out the McAndrew miss when I last posted rosters and its been fixed. I believe there were a couple other draftees I failed to get promptly assigned to their teams as well. I forget who they were now, but my administrative shortcoming were duly noted and corrections were made:hp.

[-Kyle-]

Gambler's retract their bid on Sutherland (if possible).

.25 Tom McCraw
.25 Bob Bailey
1.25 Pete Ward
.25 Mazeroski
.25 Frank Quilici

[leecemark]

--I'll allow retractions through Monday. Any bid made in the last 24 hours you are stuck with though.

[catcher24]

I'll post this here and in the Off Season thread as well.

Tommy John is definitely going. If you are interested, PM me your best offer. I've got some already, and I'd like to get this done prior to the close of the FA auction so I can fill that spot, and his new owner can perhaps save a bid.

[mac195]

Ed Charles - $4.75 M

[J W]

That's the exact bid we retracted Mac :D

We can't really afford 4.75 mil contracts at the moment.

When's the deadline? 9 pm tonight?

[buppers]

Didn't I see a bid of 1M on Gary Sutherland by Gamblers?

Ed

[ElHalo]

It's possible I might not make it tonight (I'll of course be putting bids in before hand). Other than a starting catcher (and, come on now, is anybody really throwing multiple years at Johnny Roseboro and his 81 OPS+?) and a backup outfielder, my roster is basically set, so I hopefully won't be too worried about missing out on guys.

I'll throw a bunch of bids at backup outfielders, but the thing is, there's no possible way I can be home by 9 EST to do the bidding, and if I stay at work to do it from here, I won't get home till well after midnight. Like I said, my roster's set, so it shouldn't be too big a problem if guys outbid me, although I might want to drop some proxies for backup outfielders on people who aren't in the market for them if that's ok.

[leecemark]

Didn't I see a bid of 1M on Gary Sutherland by Gamblers?

Ed

--Kyle retracted that bid. We are past that point now though and any bids put up are final. Please make sre nobody offers up mney they don't have. Alll bids are considered money spent at this point so your TOTAL outstanding bids can not exceed your available cap space.

The one bid per post bidding starts at 8PM, bidding closes at 9PM. Any bids posted 9:01 or later are void. All times, of course, are the unique BBF time! :)

I will try to get one more update posted around 8:15 PM this evening, or about 15 minutes into the one bid per post time frame. Those of us who've done this before know the first 45 to 50 minutes are basically dead time anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to get that posted. But I won't be posting anything but bids those last 10 to 15 minutes!:eek: :hp

--I've got a pretty full plate of bidding; the Hornets, the Gamblers proxy and trying to fill my last spot (although with 250K to spend I won't be that busy for myself:noidea). If anybody else sends me a proxy I'll do what I can for you, but you'd be 4th on my priority list in the last 10 minute frenzy. If you can't be here yourself you might be able to find a better sub than I'd be. I guess I'd be better than nothing though so if needed you can give me a backup list.
