we will see if it is a good or bad thing we got Dave Bush in a tied $137 bid.

Glad my name is not on the list (this week) - some heavy overbidding there.....as well as some very close ones that I would not have expected.

I agree on a lot of overbidding.But the lead farners picked Eric Byrnes who could put up numbers if he can stay healthy. nice pick you pig farmer.

I remember seeing it some time ago...is there a way to see which team had the losing runner up bid?

Is this public?

I never get any e-mails.

Still not sure why Burrell was ever dropped in our league (chicago league 4). I think 673 was a worthy bid for him as the team who got him needs power.

I did outbid myself for Philip Hughes - pulled a Tom Hicks. Was at about 85, then went to about 185, then about 265, then around 380 and finally $489...I HATE when I do that, especially with a young pitcher, almost always end up burned, but I had just missed out on Kevin Millwood (who I think will post decent numbers) and someone else the following week, also by less than 20 (can't remember offhand), but kept imaginging losing out on Hughes by a few dollars and him coming in and being lights out...

Sorry to Hughes owners, the JINX is officially on...

I should have changed my name to "Horse Genetalia" or something to hide my bid. Next time.

Phillp Hughes 489 runner up 132 thats a lot,half your budget on a maybe.

Pelfrey 211 a lot for someone with a bad stop.

Hoffpauir 236 runner up 26

Paulino 212 not even a runnerup bid,this one is crazy.

David Ross 187 runner up 7

Frasor 172 for amiddle man. runner up 18

Andrew Jones 151 for a 4th outfielder no runner up bid.

rkulaski · Post by **rkulaski** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 2:33 pm

Paulino and Ross for that much- what in the world??!! Of course I bid 180 for Wang in one of my satellites- ugghh!! Obviously I think he'll be okay and become the Wang of old in another 2-3 weeks but I thought someone else would think the same and also bid a fair amount on him.
