Rules:
1 - I'm putting a reserve clause on it. If I don't think the winning bid is something I'm interested in, I'll pull him back. That said, I'm serious about moving him. If the winning bid is something acceptable, I'm taking it. I'll say when a winning bid hits the acceptable level, and all winning bids from that point on will result in a deal.
1a - I consider him an OF, and a mediocre hitting one at that. In short order I also expect Travis Snider to get injured, making Lough likely the top overall LF on the Orioles. Or at worst a close 2nd depending on how you feel about Delmon Young.
2 - Winning bid must stand for 48 hours. It's also 48 hours from when the bid was posted, not my acceptance.
3 - I decide what the winning bid is. I will try not to discuss my thinking in what constitutes the best bid. It just makes things awkward. If you don't have the winning bid, don't ask me what it would take. Don't try to just inch past the winning bid with multiple attempts of continuous slightly improved bids. If I have a winning bid and you're doing that, I'll stick with the single attempt that was winning until you blow it out of the water.
4 - I'm looking for young MiLB players at anything. I am not tight on cap for the next 2 seasons, but not horribly so. I do expect to participate in IFA's, so cap this year is interesting to me. I don't want to take on salary this year or next. Prospects are excellent, if picks don't work for you. But I don't really feel thin in the minors outside of everything, so I'll obviously entertain a good prospect package.
5 - Don't ask me if you have what it would take to make a bid. If you think you can beat the existing bid, go for it.
6 - I know the "insert generic player name here Auction" was won via PM, but this one won't be. I won't respond to PM's asking if you have enough. You can't win if you don't bid, so just make the bid.
7 - Royals don't got nothing yet. Come at me with your legal action. Patent pending just means it's free for the time being.
