I think you have the wrong player cost for my last selection schwarze, looks like you cut & paste Ed Walsh's salary instead of the $200K it is suppose to be.

Since I probably won't be up when my next round pick comes up and it doesn't look like cubbies is going to post before then, I'll make my pick now and re-pick later if necessary.

My 4th round selection is:     2012 Brent Lillibridge (OF/1B/2B/3B/SS) $219,802

2000 Ramon E. Martinez $1,280,847

What exactly is the Max Salary column on the first page showing?

Max salary is I believe what is the maximum allowable salary for the pick in the subsequent round.

Schwarze, you've got a few mistakes for me.  The salary for 12 Lillibridge is $219,802 (not $210,802) and the total team salary is almost $200K off (should be $819,802).  Also 3rd round pick should read Deivi Cruz (2005).

It's schwarze's calculation for what's the most you could spend in the next round, assuming that you'll have a small increase in salary each subsequent round (I can't remember if the formula is for a 50K increase or a 100K increase) and that you won't go over the cap. I believe schwarze has made it a rule that for rounds 1-20, you can't go over this number, but in any case it would be a strange strategy to do so.

brianjw's description is correct (it assumes 100K increases).  At this stage, it's somewhat meaningless since everybody's max is similar.  But as we get further into the draft, this number bears more importance.

Thanks for the corrections.  Obviously, keeping track of things in this type of draft is very labor intensive, so please keep pointing out mistakes when you see them.

1992 Dennis Rasmussen $1,488,414

I dont think i got a sitemail, but whatever...ill take 2000 alfonso soriano 200,000 for my skipped pick

Now that we're in timed rounds you shouldn't expect a sitemail unless we get completely caught up.

Yes i was just brought up to speed on this, thanks...vacation and being at my beloved tiger games have me behind for sure.

Ill take 1997 derrek lee 200,000 for my current pick

2012 Shane Loux 200K
