If we're treating him like all other FAs then he can't be bid on until he appears in. MLB game.

Theoretically, we should be waiting until he pitches in a game. He is however a special circumstance and seeing as he will be going directly to the Majors to start his career, he could conceivably be bid on like other free agents once the drafts is completed. If someone objects this, let me know but I don`t think anyone will have a problem with this considering the circumstances around his case.

I'm totally OK with that.
Also update: The Darvish bidding in my 20-team league w/ very similar rules and the same $120 cap has now hit $20.
That league allowed pick trading before and during the draft so some teams had $60 and more left on the cap after the draft. Still....FA will get crazy in these bidding leagues.

Haha, true enough Rocky and you're not even the one that's gonna end up with him.
Rangers- Love the holland pickup. I was torn between him and Bastardo.

Bastardo was one of my guys there as well. I really wanted Pestano, but a last second search saved me from picking a player already taken (again). Gutsy move by the Rockies to take him on a 4 year deal.

I know, I'm a little worried about that pick, but I think he's got the skills to stay relevant for 4 years, plus I didn't think he'd be there later (Jason told me he would have taken him with one of the two picks in between mine).
Plus I think Chris Perez won't have a long run as closer this year and even if he ends up as the set-up guy, that is helpful in the holds department.

I was going to take Worley this round!!

No Worley for you. It was between him and two other young pitchers for me. Hopefully I can get them after.

Am I the only one getting all excited for Free Agent bidding as the draft ticks down to its conclusion?

I'm very excited. Going to be interesting to see what the various strategies are.

Everyone should have their page updated by the time the draft is completed. It is crucial to update to your roster on the proboards website during the offseason.
