Could everyone please let me know which players you are targeting, for what amounts, and any strategies you are looking at for the draft coming up in a few weeks? I would like to be able to be a step ahead of everyone, haha.
I will give you one of my strategies: I plan on getting Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Howard for $1 each so no one bid on them.

I love auctions. Its great to bid up players you really don't want in order to get somebody else to overspend. With a slow auction, it could be torture to wait hours to see if somebody will let you off the hook. I don't know how effective that strategy will be with a slow draft, since people won't be under the gun to bid. I got stuck with paying $19 for Erik Bedard in a live auction last year employing this strategy.

I plan on spending 80% of my budget on Giants hitters and Orioles pitchers. Try to stop me

You can take the Giants and Orioles, I am looking for the Pirates and Royals (ooops, guess I gave you another hint on what I'm doing)

Nice posts, I'm adjusting my $$ values as you type!
As far as draft time goes, we'll most likely see the first few rounds take quite awhile with low nominations and bids.
If owners come in and bid high immediately speeds up the process a bit, but still expect 2 weeks for fisrt few rounds. Never can be sure though as it really depends on the owners bidding style and thir values.
6 spots to fill, start getting ready!

I will help speed things along. Whoever posts ARod for $1, I will bid $25 within hours.
In fact, I will automatically bid $20 more than anyone else for any Scott Bora$$ client. I might even outbid myself, in honor of Tom Hicks.

Mr. Bauer,
I am really excited for your show to start on Sunday, but you need to read previous posts. I already puts dibs on A-Rod for $1 and I would appreciate you allowing me to have him at that price. Thank you Jack, and I hope you save the world again.

I've soured on ARod. I think his eyesight is diminishing. How else do you explain him dating Madonna?

That's a good question. Out of all the women you would think he could get. He goes after old, used up Madonna.
