His K rate is through the roof and his stuff is phenomenal. He looks a lot like Brandon Webb out there. He had two bad games with the walks. Hopefully, that won't keep up and he'll be fine.

someone in one of my leagues picked up Rafael Perez for $200+ in the first FAAB period. I think they just got confused on which Cleveland RP Perez it was.

I picked up Chris Davis for $173 and next highest was $13. I think I take the cake for this post. Heres hoping to a Chris Davis sighting in Boston. I now have Smoak and Davis. That wasn't a cheap package.



cheers.

I agree with the post above. Masterson has great stuff and in the end that will look like a pretty good pick up. He has only been victimized by the long ball of late.

I do think if you liked him enough to draft him then you ought to still like him enough to roster him, but come on, it's a 12 team league. I saw Markakis dropped in a 12 team league last week.
