The rule:
"Bidding for Free Agents will take place each week from 12:00am Tuesday until 12:00pm Saturday.*Exceptions to this schedule will occur during weeks where there are Thursday games. During these weeks, Bidding will begin at 12:00am Tuesday, and end at 12:00pm Saturday however, players involved in the Thursday game(s) cannot be bid upon from gametime Thursday until the following Tuesday at 12:00pm."

My interpretaation of this rule is not that the player sold on Thursday, but that bids on players involved in the Thursday game couldn't be initiated until the following Tuesday.
Now this is a situation where the player was already in bidding BEFORE the Thursday game.
IMO this rule is totally ambiguous and doesn't even seem to be necessary, it's not like we can just pickup guys off waivers, they're all bid on. This kind of rule makes sense in a waiver system but not a bid system.
Hey Dodgers, any idea when you might have a chance to clean up the rules doc for the ambiguities such as this?
