I don't think this is as big a deal as people are making it out to be. So, for those who can't get on on the weekends (which is me quite frequently. Even though I do have access at home, I am usually too busy to remember to check to see if my Ron Dayne bid ended up winning), you have two choices. Don't bid a player on Friday and hope someone bumps him over the weekend. This works when you are just trying to jack the price up for others. If the other 10 teams didn't feel it was worth a bump, you probably don't have to worry about it. Your other choice is to post a cut in your bid. What is the real disadvantage here? The only time I can think it would matter is if you are posting the intentions to cut an attractive player that other teams might rather see in free agency or the waiver wire than the player you are actually bid on. I think these circumstances would be few and far between. If it is the rare circumstance where you are bidding on someone substantial and will be cutting a big name player, then proxy your cut to one of the many guys that are online on the weekends. It seems to me that the majority of the time, the likes of Frisman Jackson are the players getting waived, and it is doing little harm showing your hand. Heck, several times during the week I have seen teams post potential cuts in their bids.
