Ok, it's week 1 of FAAB bidding, how much did you put on for Arrieta, the new White Sox closer Santiago, etc.? How about Bard? Since it's after 7 p.m. now, I will post this. My main guy to get this week was Arrieta but I only put in for him in the low 140s, we'll see where he goes. I also really want Santiago...

What I want to see is how much 2 saves and 1 win from Fernando Rodney is worth??

Went after Barney as we need a second 2b badly...with conditional on omar infante.

Also went after Samardge and Rodney

15 teamer, i expect to see winning bids for santiago in the triple digits. some over $250 (for the desparate owners). rodney around $75

i probably missed something with Arrieta cause i didn't even bid on him. can someone fill me in

I'm in the mid-100s, low-200s and in one over 250, depending on need. Rodney, I couldn't see bidding 75, but he may get some.

Arietta, $0. Nice first start but not much comfort in rostering Baltimore starters.

to top it off Arrieta plays a pissed off yankees team this week . not looking good to me .

people who lost bailey, thornton, farnsworth are DESPERATE. they've had a sinking feeling in their guts for a few days. rodney's two saves are like solid gold to them.

Aceves, Melancon, Peralta anyone?

He shut out the Twins. Not even you could find a story line to rev up the engines on him.

Fernando Rodney Dangerfield for me.....No respect, no bids

I would imagine that both Santiago and Rodney get some pretty serious bids. The average bid for Contreras last year week two was around 300.

I'd bet Arietta's bids approach triple digits in some leagues as well, even though they weren't for me.

I put in for Peralta as my next choice behind Santiago, where he was available at least.

Arrieta unfortunately is the new Jeremy Guthrie for me. Nice in a few spots, but I fear that AL East way too much. Maybe a higher upside, but I stayed away this week.

How much did you bid on Santiago in our Satellite League, Jeff ?

Santiago went for $441 in my classic league

Sounds about right, Samardzija looked like the best available from week one teams, I think he was drafted in most 2nd week lges.

Tiny bid - I have three closers there, have other needs. Won't get him. But $150+ in the Main, and that might not get him either.

Went high 300's for Santiago. Made $50 bids or so for Rodney. A few dollars on a couple of sleepers.

Have Thornton and Bailey in a lot of spots. Already got a good kick to the McNuggets so what's 300-400 dollars.....

Uh-oh, doesn't look like I'll be winning myself a closer anywhere.

Yep, 24th round in LV 5.

I went big on Santiago in many leagues, but I have A. Reed to pair him with in nearly all of them also. Based on comments I read, it sounds like Thornton and Crain are the 7th and 8th innings guys, so if Santiago fails I'm guessing Reed is next.

Did anyone bid on Morales or Padilla? How many Bard owners are hoping he moves back to the bullpen?
