1969 Free Agent Auction

[leecemark]

--Okay we'll wait til one of you passes.

[Windy City Fan]

I passed. Wynn is a Cider.

[leecemark]

--Which I guess Craig has. Sold to Mac for 17.5M.

[leecemark]

--Next up Mickey Lolich

[BlueBlood]

13 M for Lolich.

[Erik Bedard]

15M for Lolich.

[buppers]

8 million.....

[Windy City Fan]

15 million.

[catcher24]

I know this is a waste of time, but Legends bid 10M

[leecemark]

Wranglers 9 M

[Windy City Fan]

15.5 then...

[leecemark]

Wranglers 16M

[catcher24]

See, I knew it. I figured Lolich 20M+ easily.

[buppers]

Mark late again:)

[Erik Bedard]

16m. ..

[Erik Bedard]

17m Lolich

[BlueBlood]

Lolich's gotta be worth at least 25 million. He eats a massive amount of innings and is great in four of the next five seasons, good in the other.

[buppers]

So far 7 players 125 million

[leecemark]

Wranglers 18M

[Erik Bedard]

Lolich's gotta be worth at least 25 million. He eats a massive amount of innings and is great in four of the next five seasons, good in the other.

You shut up now.

-Katinka Inka Bogovininana

[Erik Bedard]

18.5M lolich!

[leecemark]

Wranglers 19.5

[Erik Bedard]

20M on lolich

[leecemark]

going once?

[leecemark]

--That was the Wranglers max. Anybody else bdding with Dan here?

[leecemark]

20M going twice..................

[BlueBlood]

Someone should just bid 20M out of the gate on Rose, let's be honest here.

[leecemark]

--Sold to the Gold Sox

[leecemark]

Rose on the block..................

[buppers]

--Sold to the Gold Sox

Go ahead :)

[Erik Bedard]

That was my max as well! Luckily I got to bid it.

[buppers]

Someone should just bid 20M out of the gate on Rose, let's be honest here.

Go ahead :)

[Windy City Fan]

15 million for Rose.

[leecemark]

--Lolich was a pretty good value at 20M. If I'd had it, I would have gone a little higher.

[jkc32]

Shoeless goes $5M. Probably my only bid of the night.

[BlueBlood]

Shoeless goes $5M. Probably my only bid of the night.

And a 1/3 of the first one. :rofl:

[buppers]

Could we reach 200 million on JUST 10 players?

Maybe

[leecemark]

Wranglers 16M

[jkc32]

And a 1/3 of the first one. :rofl:

Yep...but it felt good to participate.:cap:

[Windy City Fan]

16.5........

[leecemark]

Wranglers 17.5

[BlueBlood]

Compared to everything else tonight, Rose is worth 20.0M....he'd have gone for more had he been earlier in the lineup. I'd certainly bid on him at 16.5 million at the moment but I already have three starting outfielders and a quality backup in '71.

[leecemark]

17.5 going once..................

[Windy City Fan]

18................

[leecemark]

Wranglers 19.5M

[Windy City Fan]

Wranglers win.

[Erik Bedard]

If Rose could play infield, I'd be interested... but what sets him apart from Staub, Wynn, even Jones?

[leecemark]

--Any other bidders?

[leecemark]

--Last chance..................

[buppers]

9 players - 164.75 million

[leecemark]

--Sold to the Wranglers for 19.5

[BlueBlood]

If Rose could play infield, I'd be interested... but what sets him apart from Staub, Wynn, even Jones?

He's consistently very good. Another reason the bidding wasn't as high concerns his peak season of the next five...it's 1969 and expansion owners have little use for it. If his peak had been a few years down the line, he'd have gone for more right away.

[Windy City Fan]

If Rose could play infield, I'd be interested... but what sets him apart from Staub, Wynn, even Jones?

Staub is definately better over a 3 year haul. Wynn is better for 2 years, but that 3rd year is a killer. The only thing that sets Rose apart from most of the field is he's worthy of a 5 year deal.

[leecemark]

--Last up tonight.............Dick Allen

[Erik Bedard]

Allen needs 35.25 to make it a round 200M, and he might just get it.

[BlueBlood]

8M on Dick Allen.

[buppers]

What was the HTD price put on Allen that was disallowed?

[Windy City Fan]

15 million on Allen.

[Erik Bedard]

Staub is definately better over a 3 year haul. Wynn is better for 2 years, but that 3rd year is a killer. The only thing that sets Rose apart from most of the field is he's worthy of a 5 year deal.

Wynn's got a solid three out of four. And if you can't compete in 1972-3, you'll have a much harder time unloading Rose than you may want.

[mac195]

I put 25M on him before realizing I had lost the rights.

[BlueBlood]

15.5 million on Allen.

[Erik Bedard]

Put is a strange verb in that it is conjugated the same in both the past and present tenses. Bid is the same way.

[Windy City Fan]

16.............

[BlueBlood]

16.5 million.

[mac195]

Mark, can we start bids in the secondary auction as soon as you declare Allen sold?

[Windy City Fan]

18...........

[BlueBlood]

18.5..........

[Windy City Fan]

19...........

[Erik Bedard]

Come on, let's speed it up.

[BlueBlood]

19.5...........

[leecemark]

Staub is definately better over a 3 year haul. Wynn is better for 2 years, but that 3rd year is a killer. The only thing that sets Rose apart from most of the field is he's worthy of a 5 year deal.

--Rose is a better fielder and baserunner than Staub. All 5 years (if Wranglers go the max) are All Star or better caliber.

[leecemark]

Mark, can we start bids in the secondary auction as soon as you declare Allen sold?

Yes you can

[Windy City Fan]

20............

[Erik Bedard]

I for one will wait until Tuesday night to make any bids.

[Sockeye]

Yes you can

Will the secondary auction be part of this thread or will a different thread be started for the secondary auction?

[BlueBlood]

20.5...........

[leecemark]

--Wynn blow your budget Mac?

[Windy City Fan]

21..............

[Erik Bedard]

I hope neither of you is close to maxing out. Allen's got to be worth 30M.

[mac195]

--Wynn blow your budget Mac?
...brought me up to 85M.

[catcher24]

Secondary auction remains part of this thread, as I recall.

[BlueBlood]

21.5..............

[Windy City Fan]

22.............

[catcher24]

Wish I had the $$$ to bid on this guy. Huge seasons coming up.

[Sockeye]

Secondary auction remains part of this thread, as I recall.

I couldn't remember. Thanks

[BlueBlood]

23........

[buppers]

If I didn't screw up on Vada Pinson, I would be bidding on Allen

[leecemark]

23........

going once?

[Erik Bedard]

If I had no salary cap, Allen would be making a billion a year.

[buppers]

64 million for 4 players?
Thats what Brawlers are working on
Gotta be a record

[leecemark]

going twice..................

[Erik Bedard]

Blueblood, you realize that this means that for the next 3-5 years, you will only have 36M to spend on 36 players -- not an enviable situation by any stretch of the means.

[Windy City Fan]

One sec ......

[BlueBlood]

Blueblood, you realize that this means that for the next 3-5 years, you will only have 36M to spend on 36 players -- not an enviable situation by any stretch of the means.

I suck and I'll have high-end rookie draft picks in 70/71 to help flesh out my team. After 71, only Allen will be the Free Agent of the four from tonight left on my team for 72.

[leecemark]

--Sold..............

[Sockeye]

[catcher24]

Legends bid 4.75M on Denny McLain.

[buppers]

187.75 million, not bad for 2.5 hours and 10 players

[Sockeye]

Legends bid 4.75M on Denny McLain.

Beat ya to it!! haha

[Windy City Fan]

5 Million on Rico Carty.
8 Million Denny McClain
2 Million Jose Cardenal
3 Million Al Kaline

[mac195]

Al Kaline 5M

He probably should have been in the PFA auction instead of Horton.

[Erik Bedard]

Looks like I'll have to pick between McLain and Bunker, my two top choices.

[leecemark]

Dave Duncan .25
Bob Oliver .25
Tony Conigliaro .25
Joe Hague .25

lol It's one pretty 69 season but I'd hate to have to pay 5+ mill for 1970.

[Erik Bedard]

I'm taking my new 100M pitcher and leaving. So long.

[jkc32]

[jkc32]

[jkc32]

No biggie. I'll scratch him from my selections.

--Russell was picked up in the rookie draft. I just missed adding him to the redbirds. Same with your earlier bid on Taylor . Sorry.

Shoeless bids $250K for Wade Blasingame.

[ElHalo]

--If he is on the market I am VERY interested.

No market; once the bids for Cleon Jones passed $13 mill a year, I passed and realized that my 1969 and 1970 are shot entirely. Wilbur Wood and 1971 have been my hope in this entire franchise since I started drafting halfway through the 1961 draft (if you recall, I wasn't an original draftor, but picked up an abandoned team in the fourth or fifth round... Wood was my first pick). I have money; I just don't have the kind of money to subsist where Cleon Jones is a sixth of your payroll. Sleeper three year contracts are my method at the moment.

[leecemark]

--Already 42 players bid on. In many ways I think this is the most interesting part of the whole process. You get to see bidding wars on some unlikely players. You get to hope your sleepers make it through. And the frantic bidding down the strech is the best 10 minutes or so of the offseason. We bid on all players this way the first season or two which was even more interesting, although the one at a time approach for the premium guys gives people a chance for a little more reflection - and takes most of the luck out of landing those players (the clock ran out before guys were ready to give up on players a few times).

[jkc32]

I think I found the roster problem on my team. In the DB you have Lou Marone listed on the Shoeless roster but he was drafted at pick #60 by the Cloverleafs in the rookie draft. He should be on the Cloverleaf roster, leaving Shoeless with 30 players.

[-Kyle-]

I added my own bids into the list I posted above (like WCF suggested).

[catcher24]

Incidentally, if Kyle and Craig are planning on keeping this updated let me know and I'll discontinue. I think it might get a bit confusing to have three people doing it. Whichever of us continues to do it, remember you will be updating and posting the final bid results Tuesday night.

[catcher24]

Ummm, I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but I think the way Craig and Kyle entered their bids is a bit confusing. I actually had to go back and edit my update after Kyle posted his, because I thought it was simply an update and missed them (I edited them in afterwards). I'd prefer just posting the players the team is bidding on, same as we've always done. It makes it easier to see if they bid on a player I'm interested in without going through a list of 45 players, and it also makes it much easier to update the bids when I do it. I don't know how everyone else feels.

[jterry619]

Joe, Linzy already has a 500K bid from you previously.

But it was not posted on the list that followed my bid....Linzy was still listed with a .250 bid..just adding as a correction.

[-Kyle-]

No you do it-If there is one person to do this, its definitly not me.

[leecemark]

--I don't have a problem with multiple people updating. Two caveats though. I can't be responsible for errors in those updates. If there is a legit bid that gets missed in an unofficial update it would still be the winner when/if pointed out - up to 24 hours after the close of the market. So rely on those at your own risk. Lew's updates will be the official ones and if he misses something you need to get the correction in while the auction is in progress for the bid to count. Also you may not mix new bids in with updates. Those bids are two easy to miss and will NOT be counted. Make your bids in a separate post.
Thanks.

Dave Giusti 1 million

Dave Giusti 1 million

1.25.............................

[leecemark]

--One other note. You should be keeping a running total of your active bids. If they exceed your available cap space at any point your are technically in violation of cap rules, even though you may not expect to win them all. For example, the Knights now have 9 active bids for a total of 14M against our available cap space of 19.5M.
--You aren't likely to have the violation caught unless you end up winning too many bids, but the penalties for bidding over cap are significant. Better safe than sorry. And you never know when some division rival may be looking to trip you up:evil.

Kyle, I did pick these bids out of your earlier list. You must not have checked the last update I posted.

[catcher24]

Ron Hunt - 7.5


:eek:This could get really crazy on Tuesday - or before. I feel like I committed grand larceny now, having signed Joe Morgan last year for five years at a mere 10.5M per year!

[BlueBlood]

Al Kaline's the one I find really amusing. He had like an $11 million contract and is now earning top dollar again in this draft. Didn't WCF draft him earlier and didn't he have to buy out that contract?

[leecemark]

--He drafted him, but didn't have to buy him out. As an original 1961 draftee Kaline was on a year to year deal. If WCF resigns him for less than 11M he comes out ahead. If anybody sign him for more than that then this market has really gone crazy.

[mac195]

I'd give Kaline $12M a year... if I had it. He's a good hitter 70-72, and decent in '69.

[leecemark]

Ron Hunt 7.75

*sigh* Ron Hunt, 8 Million. Guess we both need to fill the same hole in our lineup.
