Nope. I have always been a member of the TAB and a moderator since the inception of Squeeze. It is an oversight. Just like the constitution still says we have an $80 million salary cap. It seems the situation is solved...but persoanlly I would have re-opened the bidding on those 2 players. Steve will be around soon enough to make his official ruling. He just sent me a trade offer last night. |

Tell me how you deserve players that you did not have the high bid on for 24 hours. Its bullshit to give these players to these teams because they threaten to quit. What if i threaten to quit because of this ruling, will there all of a sudden be another change of mind? Fact is both teams fucked up. Your not suppose to go over your cap when bidding. Open the bids back up for 24 hours, to where the players who bidded correctly can earn them. |

PhilliesGM, nice try :lol: :lol: :lol: . But I did have the top bid for Carlos Delgado for 24 hours. So we can open Pat Burrell back up and give me Carlos? Hahaha. |

Makers I am far from an amateur at these types of leagues. I have been playing fantasy baseball for around 10 years now. I also feel both of these owners should not be dictating their own punishment. A vote was put before the league, and the league should decide. |

PadresGM, I absolutely agree with you 100%. No where near am I dictating my own punishment, I am just arguing for what I think is right. |

Steve will be along in a few to confirm provide his thoughts. Recap: Astros: Cap Hit For Burrell Makers: Cap Hit For Delgado Burrell to Makers Delgado to Mariners Which was my initial ruling anyway. |

I strongly feel that the bidding should be re-opened on both of these players. I was still in on the bidding for Burrell too, but once I saw the Astros go to 15,000,000 I stopped. So for him to be simply awarded at $13,500,000 is not fair to others who were bidding on him. Same with Delgado. I seriously doubt bidding on Delgado would have gone as high as it has if Makers had won Burrell. The simplest and the fairest to all involved is to simply start over on those two players. |

Look at the bidding history on Burrell, I had been bidding on him all along, Makers comes in and makes 1 bid that puts him over the cap, and he gets awarded the player? That is fair and a good solution for the league? Wow. |

That is not true. While he held the high bid of $14,000,000 on Delgado, he then place his bid on Burrell of $13,500,000. That was the bid that put him over. |

It's okay Padres...The Commish will work this out. Your points are extremely valid and could be applied to the DelGado situation as well. It looks like the simplist solution is to re-open the 2 threads for 24 hours...with the highest bids before this fiasco in the lead. |

As far as me placing one bid on Pat Burrell, I had been watching him all along, seeing how high he would get. He wasn't that high, so I put my money in on him. John, I love you dude, but that is the just the dumbest solution!! The simplest solution is to follow the rules, and go by what Joey has already set in place and we are just waiting for BrewersGm to confirm. |

I would also like to point out, the two guys who are pushing for a Re-Opening of the Players, are two GM's who were pushing and bidding for these guys. Spin = Delgado Padres = Burrell They didn't get what they wanted in FA, so they just want a chance at these guys. |
