Week long bid triggers another player

[Minnesota Twins]

Saw someone mention this in chat and liked it.

1. I know we want to go back to 3 at a time for auction it seems mostly. So you can say yeah for that.

2. If an auction goes for a week then the next guy gets nominated as well. For a time there would then be an extra dude but would help with boredom of watching two teams go up by .1 forever and ever. No offensebto teams doing it just takes a long time.

Yeah was my idea in chat room. I’d say see if Kluber goes off board this time, a few hours left in Philly bid. If there’s another bid, then we should just add the next player n keep Kluber as a side Auction.

I’m not bidding on Kluber anymore. Philly can have him.

I like this idea tho. I would be in favor of it.

Not in favor of the proposal.

So vote is for
a) draft 3 at a time
b) if one goes a week long (7-days?), trigger another bid, bringing it to 4?

Sure, why not. Anything to lubricate this process.

Opposed to both a) and b). Now, if you can convince Commissioner Manfred to move up o Opening Day,, I’d be in favor of speeding up the bidding. As it is, we will have over 30 days beteeen the end of bidding and opening day. What is the rush?

We used to do 3 at a time til half way then drop to 2, not sure why we changed this yr but most ppl wish for more action it seems.

Just looked for gigs and latest we've finished is Feb 10, so hopefully we don't break the record! Mostly mid Jan was finish date.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place for debate, I think it is.

I would counter with Toronto that, what is the big deal having a month of idle time before season starts? Geezum crow even Cashman I think gets 4 weeks off a year, no?

And it's not like the website would be shut down if no events going on. People can still do blind bidding, trading, shooting the chit, whatever.

[torontobluejays]

My point is that there is no reason to change. What is the benefit of changing the rule?

I’m ok with a) draft 3 at a time, but I vote no on b)week long trigger

Agree with Toronto on ALL of his posts.
