each player has an average salary thingy on their header that should help you out a little. Cut guys that most people are signing for $20 but costs you $55 or whatever. It's a delicate balance of holding expensive guys that are really good and you can't replace versus playing the market.
The auction happens live first, of all unsigned players, on 3/18 at 9 where we call get into the draft room with a beer and over pay for Mets cause they're all going to have awesome years this year.
You can big on guys all season long in blind auction after the draft too. So like, random reliever gets called up and starts doing awesome, you put him up for auction and best bid after 2 days gets him. So you'll want to reserve some money for breakout and stuff, you'll end up cutting your losses on some guys too, half price to cut them against capl.
you can look at the other teams for a rough guide. I've got 22 guys a $198. Lots of room. SMG, who won, is at 30 with $330. He's not going to be able to splurge on anybody.
Red Flyers near last have 22 guys at $287. That seems high.
