    Re: Who wants to be in an auction league?

    Ok, just wanted to be sure.

    Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
    Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
    Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
    University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    Anyone have any objections with this set-up?

    For players valued $20 and under, it is $3 to keep them.
    For players valued $21 or more, it is $5 to keep them.

    This will put more of the elite players back into the pool each year.

    Maybe the line could be $25 and under is $3 and $26 or more could be $5?
    Somebody's gotta win and somebody's gotta lose and I believe in letting the other guy lose.

    Perhaps we could all do a mock draft tonight at 7:30. Get on here at ~7:15, and quickly decide what mock to do.

    Re: Who wants to be in an auction league?

    Okay, no mock tonight. How bout Th. at around 7:30 we decide on a mock to do?

    Also, if Eric's cool with this, could a mod change the thread title to something like "RZ auction keeper league- yr. 1", as we're no longer looking for teams.

    You guys can do a mock auction, but I'm not about to reveal my strategies.

    That is a great point. I was thinking of throwing everyone off by bidding $52 for Willy Taveras.

    Not guilty. I'm going all patriotic as 'Send Me Victorious,' a slight tweak to one of the lines in our national anthem.

    As an aside, I'll struggle to join any 'practice' mock drafts with the time difference. But as Eric_the_Red suggests, I'm happy to keep my strategy / educated guesswork to myself for the time being!

    Re: Who wants to be in an auction league?

    Okay, I've checked on things and the 3 people unaccounted for are:

    Joseph
    Future Reds GM
    Redsfandan

    2 of those 3 own 1 each of the following unaccounted for teams:

    High Grove Hoodlums
    Cin-City Redlegs

    If those 2 owners would identify themselves, we would know who the last owner is.
