The rules on Page 1 are quite clear on this, though, and frankly it would not have made any sense to reward intentional overspending anyway. But note he wrote "will also be" as in, the same as the other rounds:

- Draft order: 1st Round is random, all other rounds are in ascending order of cumulative salary.
- 1-round supplemental draft: After the initial draft, you will draft your 25th player from any franchise NOT in the original 24 and from a season AFTER 1992. This round will also be in reverse order of cumulative salary.

I understood it to be lowest salary. I feel like this was also commented on by people at points during the draft, with regards to owners trying to get to the top of the board.

proxy for dlchow:

This might make someone mad, and I'm hoping to only drop 2 or 3 places in the draft order:
1990 Kevin Brown, Texas Rangers, full, $3,929,187
1977 Manny Sarmiento, Cinci Reds, full, $1,126,670
Cumulative $117,559,351 I think

proxy for schwarze:

1972 Duke Sims, DET, $1,274,277
1979 Bobby Clark, CAL, $442,281

Total salary w/ballpark = $114,775,100

Well that was dirty. His '96 season was a great option next round.

Thanks. I think there's actually benefit to letting yourself get skipped this round. You can see what people after you do and know how much you can afford to spend on your two players.

This cost me. Fairly large as we shall see.

If dlchow does not need a SP in the supplemental, this pick was more "smart" than dirty. All's fair in love and WIS.

As best I can tell, your position didn't change. You couldn't move up, and no one jumped ahead of you.

Forbes Field $2,000,000
1982 Dan Schatzeder, Giants, $288,815

1990 Lance McMullers 942,045 Tigers
1988 Jose Cruz 200,400 Yankees
tot: 112,414,512

Sorry its McCullers

You will see how it plays out. Significant difference but I will wind up with someone useful.

I thought there would be far more blocking strategy, given that the supplemental player pool is very strong. A few players would have been cheap to block, but you definitely would have needed to plan your picks accordingly (I tried to plan for more than one, but failed)

Please make sure to point it out, because based on some of my draft choices in this thing my skull might be thicker than I would like.
