FIVE - is this enough FAAB for the rest of the way

The leader in NY7 has a mighty $5 left in FAAB. This could be best invested in a voodoo doll ensuring the good health of his players.

Are there any other teams with similar low amounts remaining?

In Chicago #2, the lowest has 542 left (mainly spent on Brower - $226, and T. Jones - $115) followed closely by me (spent on W. Taveras - $201, Herges - $188, and J. Tavarez - $51). Everyone else has more than $700 left.

Chicago # 1 ranges from $399 to $991 with an average of $707 left to spend.

I just lost the 4th of my original starting team (Jose Valentin) for an extended time.

Can anyone beat my bad luck?

Ordonez, Todd Walker, Schilling are the others

Don, At least you were smart enough NOT to draft Barry (steroid) Bonds!

I guess not drafting Barry gets you 178th place overall?

Excellent work

Personally, I picked Barry way too early - shame I wasted that 2nd round pick.

Hey Dave, What team name are you?

We would like to see the rest of your steroid squad and what place your in.

lol, I'm LB - Fortress Dyv... in 23rd place as of this second, although I would bet after a medium quality day I'll wake up tomorrow around 30-32nd.

Berkman is coming back for me for next week, though - so I'm looking for a little boost to go chasing after Doughboys who is running away with LV #7 right at the moment.

My draft went like this:

#6 pick

Bobby Abreu

Barry Bonds (sigh...)

Gary Sheffield

Carlos Delgado

Mark Prior

Mike Lowell (sigh...)

Roy Halladay

Eddie Guardado

Shingo Takatsu (sigh... ?)

Freddy Garcia

Lance Berkman

Carlos Guillen

Casey Blake

Jacque Jones

Miguel Olivo (Wasted pick... )

Luis Gonzalez

Jason Marquis

D'Angelo Jimenez

Raul Ibanez

Craig Biggio

Luis Ayala

Orlando Hernandez

Wily Mo Pena

Ty Wiggington

Brandon League

Vinny Castilla (wish I had played him the first 2 weeks...)

Dave Williams

Willy Taveras

Todd Greene

Runelvys Hernandez

I will say that drafting Bonds and Berkman and KNOWING they were going to miss time made me draft solid hitters later in the draft as insurance. I screwed up on Bonds - wish I had grabbed Brian Roberts in round 2 instead

I will hopefully draft better next year.

DYV... A pretty impressive 1st month I must say!

Only 5 more to go......... We were 278th after our disastrous 1st week, thanks mainly to Javier Vasquez and Bobby Crosby. But now ... We are climbing the long ladder to the top @...157 today. So we are content with our steady progress.

So even if Barry sits out the whole year, props to you for your early success. We shall keep an eye on you as we progress into the top 100.

OUT for now.........w2w

It'll take being in contention in August for me to get too excited, but so far things are cruising nicely.
