ZIPS FA Bidding 2018

Post by Cardinals »

Last year's ZiPS bidding budget system worked well. We're going to continue it this year, but drop the team budget to $20. Only 14 guys were bid on last year, which is why we're dropping the budget by $10.

For those that need a refresher on the rule, please see last year's discussion here: viewtopic.php?t=6165

Again, the only change is the budget.

Bid dollars are not eligible for trade.

To add: You will only lose your waiver claim in event of a tie. If you win a player outright, it will not affect your waiver standing

He has posted Mets and Reds comps. Hold on picking up Mets and Reds until the bidding process begins.

To clarify, this read poorly.

We will use waiver order as a tiebreaker, but you will NOT lose your standing in the waiver order.

Apologies to those confused.

As an add-on to this, the process states that players become free agents 24-hours after ZiPS are posted. Fangraphs doesn't have a time stamp on their posts. So, the time stamp will be when a link to the ZiPS posting on Fangraphs is posted on this website.
