2017 Free Agent Nominations - Open at 9pm PDT, January 12

Free Agent bidding will be broken down into 6 weeks of bidding.

Week 1 - 20 Players
Week 2 - 25 Players
Week 3 - 30 Players
Week 4 - 40 Players
Week 5 - 45 Players
Week 6 - Unlimited Players

Each team has the opportunity to nominate a player(s) by posting them on the message board in this thread beginning Thursday, January 12th and 9pm PDT.

A team is allowed 5 nominations per day and all nominations are free of charge.

If nominations do not cover an entire week, the open spots will be filled by the CO by randomly choosing from the Free Agent list.

The CO retains the right to balance the player pools based on the nominations for the first three weeks.

Group bidding begins Saturday evening of each week and the earliest a player can close is Monday at 9 PM PST. Open message board bidding extends until 9 PM PST on Thursday of each week.

When necessary a silent auction is implemented with bids due before Friday at 9 PM PST

OCD nominate: 

Rick Porcello, SP
Bartolo Colon, SP
CC Sabathia, SP
Madison Bumgarner, SP
Jon Lester, SP

tried to list the remaining Cy Youngs--hard to believe Bumgarner has never been close. 

I propose all recent winners all post in the same round to see how frenetic it gets.

I'm confused. Are these nominations for week 2 and beyond?

Anyone can nominate any player at any time (5 per day max). Once the number of players for the upcoming week have been defined they just bleed into the following week. Without running the numbers, I bet by now we have enough to fill Week 2 and we're onto Week 3.
