Is this the initial draft? And what time? How do we submit picks and know who is taken?

This thread is for the auction of MLB players. The initial draft is for prospects and can be found (when it is posted) in this thread: saberdynasty.proboards.com/board/21/minor-league-draftPicks will be submitted through ProBoards and then I'll place players asap onto your rosters. I'll explain this in more details later but the spreadsheet will be searchable if you want to know who has been taken. |

We can't find any explanation on Auction Bidding in the rules. Gotta say, we are very skeptical about how bidding will work. Auctions in start up leagues often become turkey shoots, GMs bidding recklessly and then bailing when they realize they can't sustain the expenditures.
The exact format of bids procedure needs to be explained. Are years of contract included in bids, along with $$ amounts and options years? Do league auction bids trump MLB salaries and length of contract? Are there year-limits on bids?

Contract restrictions from the constitution:
Contracts awarded in free agency are limited in length by the following restrictions:
Player current age 0-33: 5 years (not counting option year)
Player current age 34-35: 4 years (not counting option year).
Player current age 36-37: 3 years (not counting option year).
Player current age 38-39: 2 year (no option allowed).
Player current age >39: 1 year (no option allowed)
The Minimum Yearly Salary is $400,000
The bidding process will all be calculated by an individual's "FA Calc" - this will be explained more in depth soon. Basically, by inputting years, salary, and options, it will output a bidding points sum.

If 2 teams offer the same money but different contract lengths, who is awarded the player?

You can message me privately with names you want to propose. Tomorrow is the last day I propose random players of my own.
