It's FAAB time. How much does Juan Cruz go for this week? Marlon Byrd now a Red Sox, how much does he go for? Post your thoughts here...

They'd have to give me $ to waste a roster spot on Byrd

I wonder how much Shane Robinson goes for now since he hit a Grand Slam? I know I picked him already in a few leagues a week ago on the cheap...

Main Event?

Bid on Estrada on every league, but I think I'll get outbid because of people with Lee, Hudson, Pineda, Liriano, etc.

Really, really like Estrada. For no particular reason I bid on him last week in the Super and got him for $1. Probably the only smart FAAB move I'll make all year

I threw a couple bids his way, either as the main bid or a contingent wherever I needed a pitcher. What size bids did you throw at him this week? Probably won't win him for a buck this time.

I bid a little high for Aoki, well see if I get him. Also, put bids in for Estrada, Cordero, and Kendrick. Good luck...

$60 to $90 depending on the league

Seems about right. No fear of Peralta?

Also, Santiago looked awesome today. People who say he doesn't have "closer stuff" are hilarious.

I'd guess you'll win him in a number of lges, I was in the 20s-30s.

None. Peralta's going back down to the minors when Loe comes off the bereavement list. Probably tomorrow. Peralta's not ready.

I have a tendency to seriously overbid on guys I like

I was somewhere between the two, dependent upon the league and my league specific needs. However, Estrada was not always my top choice as a starter dependent upon who was available in whatever league.

I don't think it was seriously overbidding.

Just noticed that in the Diamond there are no teams with between 73 and 100 points. That's strange.

I also threw out a couple bids on some of the speed outfield flyers out there.

Or Parra....or a couple others in the rare leagues they might still be available.

Standings are meaningless at this point. Just noticed that's a very fluky thing.

Still rather be on your side of that Grand Canyon.

I didn't even come close to Campana in the DIamond. Got Estrada for $93 with runner up $55 so i don't feel badly.
