This year, we were able to use salary to bid on reserves also...were given extra 7 dollars for the 7 spots. I ended up overdoing my reserves, but thought I'd post my team. usually, I at least "think" I can win. This time, I don't think it's too good.

Pos Name Salary

C Chris Snyder 2

C Javier Valentin 2

1B Adrian Gonzalez 17

2B Jose Lopez 4

3B Scott Rolen 17

SS Carlos Guillen 18

CI Derrek Lee 27

MI Bobby Crosby 4

OF Vernon Wells 23

OF Austin Kearns 6

OF Brad Hawpe 7

OF Dave Roberts 10

OF Magglio Ordonez 13

U Melvin Mora 4

P Johan Santana 34

P Jeremy Bonderman 12

P Jon Lieber 1

P Freddy Garcia 8

P Scott Kazmir 13

P Mike MacDougal 1

P Octavio Dotel 8

P Bob Howry 1

P Eric Gagne 10

R Wes Helms 2

R Mike Jacobs 3

R Luke Scott 8

R Jeremy Hermida 5

R Josh Hamilton 1

R David DeJesus 4

R Oliver Perez 2

I'll switch a copy reserves and start them, like Like Scott if he wins job outright and probably Hermida, and bench Hawpe and Kearns (not sure yet).

I think I spent too much on pitching.

Would appreciate some constructive criticism!

1) Yes, you spent too much on pitching, bu

2) You had all those extra dollars to buy reserves? That means you didn't spend enough to buy your starting players (which would make the team look a lot better)

I was in the same (brutally buggy) draft. Ok do your worst. My sense is I don't have enough speed and pitching is chancy - but I did get more than my share of #1 rounders

I thought you did a great job Bobby, the only place I thought you over paid was Nathan.

Uggla, Iguchi, Morneau I thought were great values

lol, yeah the cloned Xavier? What a fiasco last night was. I was glad everyone saw the issues and it wasn't just one person having trouble...

BTW: if you win because Buerhle has a monster year then I will be crying like a little girl (o/c if I win because of the cloning of Xavier, then I will be grinning ear to ear)

Just wanted to say congrats to all of us for what turned out to be a very competitive league. I thought everyone did a great job and the teams are very balanced!

And to all of us for getting through those last couple of hours

I totally agree. In another post about Fantasy Auctioneer I mentioned how much stronger I thougtht the league was vs. my $650 last year. Great work.

Now KJ - remember, if I had gotten to bid for Buerhle you wouldn't have had the $ to even try for gomes!!! And I agree, someone will be crying (probably me)

As for who will be crying, the smart money is probably with you and Gomes, but if (a big IF) Cliff Floyd can hobble out there 5 days a week I might come out ok.

I was really counting on Mike Jacobs for 1b - thanks Poopy for screwing that plan I think your team kills mine. I got my head handed to me last night. Learned quite a bit about auctions and am too embaressed to put my team out here.
