Gameday Ritual FAB (Day 3)  
3/23/06, 8:12am (<font size=1 color=white>Last Edited: 3/23/06, 8:14am</font>)
This is a continuation of the running diary of my first Free Agent Blitz auction at <b><i><a href="http://www.gamedayritual.com" target="_blank">www.gamedayritual.com</a></b></i>

&b-Day Three-b&
&i-(10:43am)-i&  Wave 1 of the FAB is officially in the books.  After the dust settled, I had only signed three players. &box-OF Ichiro for $12.0/3YR
SP Webb $7.0/2Y (NT)
OF Hermida $5.0/2Y-box&
Glad I was able to get one of Ichiro, Manny & M-Cabrera.  The NoTrade clause is supposed to bump up tyour offer 30% … my final offer to Manny was $15.0/3Y … he signed for $12.5/3Y (NT).
I came up a mllion short on Cabrera ($12 to $11).  I also found out that I lost out to Beltran by not offering a NoTrade clause.  Had same identical offer, but the other had the (NT) attached.  Lessons learned.
Here are how the teams stand after Wave 1: &box-Leppland Lions – 6 players @ $47.5 (0 NTs left)
Laibach Kittens – 7 players @ $45.0 (0 NTs left)
Fightin’ ACLs – 7 players @ $44.0 (1 NT left)
Pastime – 7 players @ $39.0 (1 NT left)
LA Jaguars – 4 players @ $39.0 (0 NTs left)
Asian Invasion – 5 players @ $33.0 (2 NTs left)
Ginger Kids – 4 players @ $30.0 (2 NTs left)
Kielbase Nostra – 5 players @ $28.5 (2 NTs left)
CARDINALS – 4 players @ $28.0 (2 NTs left)
Kirby’s Creampuffs – 4 players @ $24.0 (1 NT left)
&b-Green Machine – 3 players @ $24.0 (2 NTs left)-b&
Jacob’s Crib – 4 players @ $21.5 (2 NTs left)-box&

My strategy today: I am in the lead for the services of Barrett ($2.0/1Y) and Ensberg ($5.0/3Y).  I am going to pursue MR Shields, 1B Lee, OF A-Jones and a few others.
