FAAB Addendum

Just a quick note that the FAAB results posted yesterday have been updated.

Due to a oddity in e-mail delivery priority, one of the Stones' acquisitions was left off the initial results list. In addition to the two pitchers the Stones picked up, they also signed Joe Koshansky for .05.

This acquisition is especially notable because it's the first time that a minor leaguer was acquired in a FAAB auction. A rule adopted this offseason allows anyone listed on the CBS Sportsline extensive Free Agent listing to be acquired via FAAB. Koshansky will receive a regular major league contract (10+) rather than the Mx contract received by minor leaguers acquired in the Rotation Draft, so the Stones will immediately start hoping for a Todd Helton injury/trade.
