Free Agent Blind Bid Results

[Providence A's]

These are just the winning bids. I have to run out in a few minutes to take care of some stuff, but when I come back I will see if the player will sign for these amounts. I'm sure most will be fine, but it wouldn't surprise me if 1 doesn't sign. Anyway, here are the winning bids:

1B Broussard - OAK $600k
LF Anderson - BAL $8.2 mil
CF Podsednik - TEX $2.125008 mil
RF Rivera - STL $1.397 mil
SP Bedard - OAK $800k
MR Julio - OAK $500k
SS Lugo - BAL $2.2 mil
RF Abreu - TEX $3.750008 mil
MR Wang - TEX - $350,008
2B Soriano - ANA $7.5 mil
RF Bradley - MIL $670k
C House - ANA $300k
RF Mesa - MIL MLC
CL Mesa - TEX MLC
LF Hajime - TEX MLC
OF Victorino - OAK MLC
MR Dotel - OAK MLC
1B Shafer - ANA MLC
MR Balfour - MIL MLC

welp Garrett finally got paid for his monster season for me last year.

Mesa is a project RF, who I hope can develop the power at AAA and may see time in the majors depending on what happens.

Balfour is a plan B for the bullpen if anyone gets hurt.

Bradley's versatility with the glove in the OF gave him an edge over the rest.

Both guys will be at AAA to start the year.

Note
A couple players the teams bid an amount of money for agreed to MLCs so I let those teams have those guys for MLCs (Bedard, House, and Wang). That is why Oakland and Texas have 3 guys who signed for MLCs. Also, Broussard would not sign for $600k...not even for $800k. I signed him for the $808k he wanted because Oakland had offered Bedard $800k, but he signed to a MLC.

[krush]

aw crap i missed this somehow. can we still offer guys who haven't signed?

[Providence A's]

at this point it will be a first come, first serve basis. There's not much left. I already received some MLC offers from Oaktown, USA.

P Van Benschoten

[Mackus]

Podsednik - that's a funny contract

I had the 2nd best record in the league, and I didn't want to lose any ties, so I increased all my bids by a few bucks

[browntown653]

I just thought the fact that you brought it out to 7 digits was funny
