Minimum Bid Increments

[Oakland Athletics]

Alright guys this will be the final rule vote on this I promise. Please consider both options. Thanks.

Option 1:
A bid must increase by at least $0.10 each bid.

Positives - This is extremely consistent and would not cause any confusion throughout the auctions

Negatives - For Elite players it will be difficult to close out bids. If Trout is bid on at $20 people will keep raising the bid slowly at $0.10.

Option 2:
If a bid is less than $2 it must increase by at least $0.10. For example: Bid 1: $1.90 Bid 2: $2.00 (Must be raised at least to this)
If a bid is greater than $2 and less than $10 it must increase by at least $0.25. For example: Bid 1: $1.95 Bid 2: $2.20 (Must be raised at least to this) or Bid 1: $9.75 Bid 2: $10 (Must be raised at least to this)
If a bid is greater than $10 it must increase by at least $0.50. For example: Bid 1 $9.80 Bid 2 $10.30 (Must be raised to at least this.)

Positives - It will allow for larger and medium bids to close out quicker.

Negatives - Some owners may get confused of when to bid what. Rule 13 states owners should be on top of their rosters and salary however.

I think that this will cause confusion

I also do not get the problem with people slowly raising elite players by .1. We have months and months to finish this draft, time should not be a concern. A concern might be overvalue a player by some money. I think that .1 allows for more accuracy and is also more true of a real auction process.

I don't have a huge problem with either option to be honest. We do have plenty of time to do this draft and it's not like we have huge cap room to work with.

Option one. Agree with above. Plenty of time.
