2013 Minor League Auction
The 2013 Minor League Auction is now underway! Check your email for invites to the auction which is being conducted via a Google Docs spreadsheet featuring the top prospects. If you can't log into the spreadsheet or have technical issues, you may place bids via email to the commissioner.
Notes on the spreadsheet:
-The player list is divided into four parts:
[1] Top 60 picks from the MLB Draft
[2] Unclaimed prospects ranked by team (Ex: E Johnson - 2 (2nd in the White Sox system)
[3] Requested prospects
[4] Recently dropped prospects
Auction Rules:
-Owners have $100 plus $1 for each open roster spot
-The maximum bid is $100 for a player
-If two owners bid $100 on the same player, the team with the worst record wins the bid. (If both teams have matching records, the team next on the waiver order wins the bid)
-The spreadsheet must not be altered in any way other than by bidding
-Bids must be placed in $1 increments
-Bids may be emailed to the Commissioner
-Bidding ends when a high bid stands for 48 hours
-High bids may not be reduced or undone
-Owners must not exceed the “$$ Available,” “Maximum Bid” or “Open Roster Slots”
Owner $$ Available: This is the total cash an owner has available to spend during the auction
Maximum Bid: The highest bid an owner may place on a single player (May not be exceeded)
Open Roster Slots: The maximum number of players an owner may bid on (May not be exceeded)
-There are five tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet..."Auction," "Bid Status." ?Farm (A-Z)," "Rosters," and "Formulas"
-Owners will use only the "Auction" tab when placing bids (Place bids under your team column)
-The "Bid Status" tab will show the time remaining before a player is sold (Updated by Commish)
-Please bid whole numbers (Ex: 1, not 1.01)
Notes: Owners will receive daily emails showing all players who’ve received bids and the time remaining in their auctions. The emails will end once the owner has depleted his cash or filled his roster spots.
