Yahoo has just released their 2010 baseball product and they do have FAAB this year. Because we are doing an auction FAAB is a much fairer way to give everyone an opportunity at players on waiver. Here is a brief detail of the system:
How do Free Agent Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) work?
In a Free Agents Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) waivers system, each manager receives a dollar amount to place blind bids on waived players. The manager with the highest bid at the end of the waiver period claims that player and that bid amount is deducted from the team's acquisition budget. If multiple managers place an equal bid on a player, ties are broken on a continual rolling list basis: waiver claims are processed in waiver priority order and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list.
Managers may bid anywhere from one dollar to their remaining acquisition budget on a waived player. Managers with no remaining budget must wait until a player clears waivers and becomes a free agent to add him to their team.

How much does each team get for their acquisition budget?

In addition to elrodogg's Q (which I believe is a post-auction 2round snake-draft), Hoya, any chance you can add the "minor leaguers" that are currently drafted (keepers) to the "taken players" lists

Minor leaguers, who are in the Yahoo database but not owned are available to be nominated. Each owner can do a player search from the Yahoo fantasy baseball website to see if that player is listed. If they are in the database they can be nominated and bid upon like any MLB player. But, once they go through the auction they can never go to a minor league team through the minor league draft.
After this auction we will have a two round minor league draft of players that are under 130 AB - 50 IP.
I will get a list together of players on the minor league rosters.

Hoya --- what are the specifics that we must follow to keep our minor league players...
Specifically, I have Brian Matusz on my minor league roster, and he is at approximately 40 innings. He should be above 50 innings by the end of the second week of the season. If I want to keep him, do I have to pick him up before he pitches in the game that puts him over 50 innings? Once he has 50 innings (if I don't pick him up beforehand) is he up for grabs to anyone that takes him off the free agent list? Can someone pick him up during his game when he goes over 50 innings? I want to make sure I know my theoretical deadline (and to know when I can steal other people's minor leaguers).
Thanks. ~oozed

Good question. You will need to pick him up before or during the game that he reaches his 50 IP. In case of a batter - his 130 AB.
Immediately after that game, if a player reaches those milestones he will become available to be picked up by any team.
Therefore, if an owner has the mindset of keeping a certain minor leaguer it would be best to pick him up with some room to spare. Because, there will be many vultures in this league waiting to get the likes of Matusz!!!
