I'd like to see the blind-bid waivers redone. When I enter an amount that I want to pay up to for a player, the system should compare that to the bids of other owners and the the highest bidder should be charged an amount that just barely beats the next highest bidder. An example-
3 bids placed on Player A-
Team Z- 30
Team Y- 72
Team X- 45
In the current system, Team Y would win player A but loses 72 bind-bid dollars. Instead, Team Y should win but lose only 46$, one over the next highest bid.
One easy way to implement this would be to list the next highest bid in the message that says a player was picked up using a blind bid:
Blind Faith picked up Tim Tebow (QB-NYJ) for $45 (next highest bid: $32), dropping Mark Sanchez (QB-NYJ)
No need to reveal who made the next highest bid, and just make it $0 if there isn't one. Commissioners with a rule like Kareighuis wants could refund the excess cash to the successful bidder.
Certainly would spice it up a bit to see what the second best bid was. Might be a good option to implement.

Thanks, McBruce. A good middle way.

Could even make it an option, so leagues wary of revealing anything could stay with the way it works now.
