I guess I need to read the rules. What is the free agent bidding all about?

Pretty much I think we should have a rule imposed that if your Team page is not updated you can not bid in free agency and if its not too much to ask from you guys would you mind e-mailing me your team rosters so I can keep a master list of the teams and I'll e-mail that to you guys so everyone has a copy of it. If thats at all possible

Can we start FA bidding now? Or are we sticking to the pre-established deadline?

Oh my... I thought Alvarez was gone. Dammit I was pretty excited to grab him with the second to last pick in the draft. I was going through my list and saw he wasn't crossed off. Quite a surprise. (Especially since I wanted Vance Worley this round, but obviously he had already been taken, Alvarez is comparable in my book).

AND, how about that Fielder to Detroit signing? Makes me quite happy that I chose Miggy #2 overall.

Pretty crazy. Miggy is going to be unbelievably valuable if he gets enough games in to be 3B eligible next season.

I would think that with interleague, he's likely to get close with that. If he played all of their away interleague games at 3B, he's going to get into 9. If I remember correctly for Yahoo, 10 games or 5 starts is enough, and that would do it.

If he stays consistent and can MAYBE crack 40 HR with less IBBs, he should be the runaway #1 next year.

That contract is going to be in competition for the worst contract in baseball in no time.

Agreed. I mean, good for Prince and Boras to get it, but he's really only needed there for one year. They'll HAVE to trade Avila or VMart next year; playing Mig at 3B for an entire year is a recipe for disaster.

V-Mart can't play catcher full time. Cabrera would be a historically bad 3rd basemen and Fielder isn't getting any better.

That basically covers it. They almost have to move V-Mart next offseason, obviously because nobody's going to take him and have him sit.
