Should be interesting to see the Rodney bids this weekend as the news broke very close to the FAAB deadline

Depending on Zumaya's health or the trade deadline, it remains to be seen how long he stays in the role.

I bumped my bid by $15 at the last minute, just to be safe. Only lost out by $40, but hey, I had the second highest bid!

I bid 122 on him in the AL Auction fiquring he would go more in an auction league than a mix league.Wrong the runner up bid was 4 dollars.You cant get a closer in these leagues and here is a closer given ajob and 11 other guyscome up with a max of 4.Why am i mad would i feel better if the runner up bid was a 100. YES I WOULD.

I didn't hear the Rodney news until it was too late; otherwise, I definitely would have given Eddie a run for his money (at least a $10 bid). Actually I'm saving all of my AL auction FAAB to waste on another sucky OF.

Please note: sucky is a very specific, technical term that should only be applied to players that bring negative value to your team.

R.Perez gets a save Monday...

I guess this is what's needed for Wedge to finally make him the closer...

R. Perez (H, 16) 2.0 1 0 0 0 4 0 2.86

E. Mujica (BS, 1) 0.0 3 3 3 0 0 1 6.35

M. Kobayashi (L, 4-5) 0.0 2 3 3 1 0 1 4.17

Good thing we had no reason to drop Zumaya and hung onto him.

I picked up Zumaya on 7/13 for $4 because I knew he would get the closer job soon

I dropped Zumaya on 8/03 because I knew he wouldn't get the closer job anytime soon

Save last night to Fernando Rodney , he's back.

Zumaya pitched in the 7th, give Rodney a chance .

Not because i have him.
