Welcome managers, the 2011 season is around the corner. Keeper signings are in and the 2011 Entry Draft is approaching fast, but first it's time to put ink on some contracts with the 2011 Free Agent Period about to get under way.
This year's free agency will begin today (Feb 1st) at noon EST and will run until February 10th at noon EST. There is a list of available free agents posted below. Please note that while this list contains the majority of available players, it is not exhaustive. There is a chance that there are additional players available who are not posted below. In that case, please contact the commissioner and a bid book will be created for the player and regular free agent rules will follow.
Once a player receives a bid, it will open a 96 hour window before the player closes. Ie if Jake Peavy receives his first bid today at 12:01 PM, his closing time will be Saturday, February 5th at 12:01 PM. However, should Peavy receive a bid within the 12 hours prior to his closing time, the closing time will be extended back to a full 12 hours. If anyone finds this confusing please contact the commissioner for clarification immediately.
FINAL DATE AND TIME FOR ANY PLAYER TO RECEIVE AN INITIAL BID: Saturday, February 5th @ 6:00 PM ESTAfter that date, any player without a bid will be declared ineligible and placed in the 2011 Entry Draft.
To clarify, all players listed in MLB.com's 2010 Fantasy Player Preview who were not signed or previously owned by a ThaGreenMonster manager, are eligible for free agency. Except: Players listed in MLB.com's 2010 Fantasy Player Preview's Prospect List. Any of the 100 players listed as prospects, who were not signed, are in-eligible free agents and automatically by pass the process and will be re-entered in the 2011 Entry Draft.
The following is a list of free agents. Click on their name to access their 'Bid Book', where you can make a free agent bid. REMEMBER, AT NO TIME MAY A MANAGER HAVE OUTSTANDING BIDS THAT TOTAL MORE THAN THEIR AVAILABLE MONEY TO SPEND!
TO SUBMIT A FREE AGENT BID: Please make a comment at the bottom of the page. Indicate both how many years and how many $ per year you are bidding.Max contract lengths:$1-$5 = max 2 years >$6 = max 4 yearsTO SUBMIT A HIGHER BID: A manager must: bid either more years, or more dollars.Example: The current bid is 3 years @ $7. To outbid, a manager must offer either 4 years @ $7 or any number of years (1-4) at $8 or more. ETC.
REMEMBER: MAKE SURE TO STAY UNDER YOUR PAYROLL AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT SUBMIT BIDS WORTH MORE THAN THE TOTAL AVAILABLE PAYROLL YOU HAVE TO SPEND. ANY BIDS MADE THAT EXCEED THE $300 PAYROLL WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DEEMED VOID. ANY OFFENDING MANAGERS WILL FIRST BE WARNED, AND THEN DECLARED AN INELIGIBLE BIDDER IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. PLEASE GUYS SERIOUSLY WATCH YOUR PAYROLL LIMITS, OVERBIDING REALLY SCREWS UP THE WHOLE PROCESS!
Below the comment box, there is a drop down list called "Comment As:". Select Name/URL and enter your team's name (ie. WinOrLoseHitTheBooze) in the Name box and leave the URL box empty.Please do not user player nicknames or short forms when entering bids and use your full team name as the "Comment As". Any incorrectly placed bids will be void upon Commissioner's discretion. Any manager found making false bids as other managers' will forfeit all free agent dollars and face further penalty.
Good luck to all!!
