My online team is getting ravaged by injuries so basically im stuck waiting for them to get healthy.

I will be very interested to see how much peeps spend on a few pitchers

Ricky Vaughn · Post by **Ricky Vaughn** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:07 pm

Drafted Jennings but until he comes up I put in a bid for Fuld this week and went for help in pitching by going after Lohse and Carmona.

See what happens after missing out on Harrison and Britton last week

How long of a wait has it been for the FAAB to run btw? Just curious. Last year was always an adventure lol

I, like almost everyone else, almost let it past because it was way too "early" to put any money in on closers-in-waiting. I decided to jump in and won with $4. Looking pretty good now.

Fuld went for 223...i had a bid in for 201...cmon jennings come up asap!!

Overpaid for Lohse...got Carmona and Tomlin as well.

Really wanted fuld for the steals but alas...my crappy pitching got some depth to allow me to do some spot starting.

Jonathan Herrera went pretty high in some leagues

All these two week wonders that go for hundreds of dollars... makes no sense. Ogando last week and he runs up against a good team and gets lit up tonight... so much for his 0.00 era...

[/QUOTE]Toughest part of this game in my eyes. You might think you've got it all figured out and put in the perfect bid. All it takes is one person to love a guy more than you and your bid's toast.

Every league's different and every week's different. Just keep plugging away and don't beat yourself up the times it doesn't work out. There are times it doesn't work out for each and every one of us, more times that it doesn't than does.

Outlaw · Post by **Outlaw** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 4:24 pm

I beleive he had 1K, 3 walks... Yanks showed other teams how to adjust to Ogando. His fastball was very hittable the second time through the lineup. my point is how can 2 week wonders be worth hundreds of FAAB when they werent good enough to get drafted... looking at some of the bids again this week, they are all over the map with high dollars for 2 week wonders again... But, time will tell I suppose

Ricky Vaughn · Post by **Ricky Vaughn** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 4:28 pm

b/c all its takes is one of those "2 week wonders" to turn into Jose Bautista.
