I was talking about the AL Auction League..... are you saying that at a certain time you can't make any bids at all?

Greg can u check in to this ASAP I can't seem to pick up free agents anyomore on my team page!

I don't know about the draft teams but my Auction AL only team is better then Shandler's. He has no legitimate stud producers, no star pitchers and made the terrible mistake of drafting Blalock and Loaiza coming of career years.



HMMMM maybe I should write a book!

I have both Giambi and Zambrano in my auction league. Gaimbi went for $24. Sadly however I benched Zambrano for his stretch against the Yankees.....



On the other hand I have both Sheffield round 4 and Jose Cruz Jr. who went in round 14.

I wouldn't mind if the Auction was $1,500.00 or more. The reason is that there aren't as many Auction teams as there are draft teams. I'd like to see the event get bigger not smaller.

Hey "weapons"..what the hell are you talking about? If anything an Auction is MORE realistic not less! Imagine major league teams or NFL teams picking players in order instead of paying them a salary and watching their cap room and spending. To follow through with your analogy we DO NOT bid on minor...

Walla is right and he ain't whining. He ain't the type. The way the Acution was done works fine. Players were moved maybe 3 times during the whole auction. If you want no problems next year then put players by position.

This is a question for Greg..... I was in league 12 in LV however my team page lists my league as CHICAGO #3 is this the same league since we were mixed with CHICAGO or has a mistake been made?

We were on auto draft untill round 10 but I think our worst pick was Loaiza in round 6 and the best pick was Maddux in round 10.

Bonds home runs will be down this year because with the lineup around him nobody will pitch to him!

I agree with all that has been said so far. The Auction was alot of fun the people were great, the league owners seemed like cool people and Greg and his staff ran a great first rate event. That being said I just wish the Auction was a bigger event close to the prestige to the draft. Lets face it th...

Right on Walla Walla! I was at the AL Auction and it was extremely fun and challenging! We were also at the draft the next day (well...sort of). I prupose that next year's championship be an Auction instead of the draft. My cat can probably do a draft by pressing random numbers. The Auction requires...

Tell us who you have so we can see how we all stack up against the great Gekko.

When will our team pages be fully operational so that we may set our team lineups etc...?

I gotta chime in on these topics: I love the Giambi pick. Ignore last years stats. His knees will be able to handle his lower body weight. Keep in mind the 2 MVP seasons he had before last year. I was able to snatch him in the AL auction for $24! Texiera who is relatively inexprerinced went for $23....

Greg we had a great time. Everything that happened had nothing to do with you guys, it was my fault. Thanks for having your staff draft the first 10 picks for us. The above was written tounge in cheek and not meant to imply anything else. Anyway we still have a chance if things fall right...

Ok some of you may know that we missed the first 10 rounds of the draft and were put on auto-draft by the league (League 12 in LV). Here is our official explaination adn we are sticking to it: Phil Helmuth one of the best poker players out there never plays the first two rounds of a tournament. He j...

In defense of Gekko the guy that talks the most "smack" is not always the stupidest one. He may be especially dangerous because if he backs it up this year, then no one will hear the end of it! In know this from experience, in the league I was in AL only Auction I was the one always talking smack. L...

G-Money's Honeys

Kruk's Testicles

The Urbina Monologues

The Biggest Unit

Catch-22

Vatos in the Infield

How is the Al only Auction League in Vegas doing? Has it been filled or will it be filled?

Thanks for the warm welcome Greg! I'm trying to convince my wife to let me join the NFBC in addition to the A.L. League Auction but she almost smothered me in my sleep for that alone. I know I wont make it to Vegas on 2 broken legs so I have to tread carefully! BTW anyone who wants to go drinking wi...
