Many would like to know this before setting their keepers. Originally, it was to remain the same for this year, and we'd come up with some way of setting a market increase for year 3, if we chose to keep someone that long.
We had great discussion on this from the original Proboards page, but Rob locked us out of all that information.
Thrill of Grass has posted a great informational piece related to this and many topics, please read over it.
The question isn't so much HOW will values go up (increasing the likelihood of turnover of certain star players), but WHEN (2007 or 2008) and HOW MUCH.

A member and I are discussing this poll right now...in what should happen. When the league was created (not by me), the working theory was that 2006 being the first year of the auction, would be year 1 of a contract. To extend to year 2, the value you won the guy for in 2006 would remain the same. It was year 3 that the player's value would change, and most thought it should automatically go UP. I felt that there should be a way to let it be based on the player's performance over that two year stretch, and that the keeper value should be a product of whatever fair market value. Meaning, that it could go UP, go DOWN, or remain the same. I thought this might be based on an average of many different sites projected auction values. Dr. Bill has a website (www.cdm.com) that he feels uses that premise already, determining a fair market $ value for keeper purposes. This is what option 4 above refers to. My poll is for THIS YEAR, however, since many of you weren't onboard when the league was originated. What should YEAR 2 contracts be. Should they stay the same, meaning if Asheville paid $47 for Pujols, to keep him he has the same $47 cap hit as last year? Should the value automatically go up $3-5 to keep him (like a luxury tax)? Should it go up 10-20% of the players salary, in this case $52 or $57? Or should Pujols' keeper value be based on whatever www.cdm.com places on the value of Pujols? Hope this clarifies it. Two of the four call for a "penalty" or "luxury tax" of sorts to keep ANY player, one calls for values to remain the same from last year's auction, and one calls for the value to be dictated by a neutral website.

Cap hit stays the same for 2007. We need to figure out what to do for 2008, especially for the guys that might be kept for a third year.
