Emilio B. 906 ......But in an online championship league

Nothing in my league...just Scutaro for $101 ($125 league).

However, we're a bunch of amateurs...so big moves to us are small moves to you guys.

Likely that in most leagues, people were making minimal bids - if any.....of course that assumes that there were no Church or Murphy or Bonifacio in the FA pool

I cost myself an extra thirty bucks by raising my initial bid on Scott Rolen (I have a temporary CI problem that will be solved next week after ten games).....essentially bidding against myself although it looked like other teams had CI deficiences but chose not to address them.

There was nothing significant in my pool, although I am in DIRE need of saves and didn't recognize that Aardsma picked up another one tonight. He was bought for $39.

Can you see within your league how much your bid was off, or over compared to others?

Just by checking that history, I see I lost Nick Johnson by $1. I'm not sure I'm happy about knowing of this tool as much now.

In a $250 satellite, I won a bid on Jeff Franceour $378 to $355.

Wow, I guess I did all right getting him for $16 in a satellite!

[/QUOTE]Depends how you look at it. The next highest bid for Stults was $74, with an average bid of $38 ($24 if you exclude the $289 bid).

Did the same thing in the Childs league needing a 1B badly and seeing a few teams who needed a CI as well and upped my bid on Nick Johnson 4 times only to overspend by 150. Oops. Did the same on Elvis Andrus, but in the end when you get the two guys you really wanted do you actually look at it as an overspend?

Well, I'm assuming Fowler will now be owned in 100% of leagues after tonight's bidding.

Stultz for $289. Maybe that owner knows something I don't!

Elvis Andrus went over 400 in the SCL.

Fukome went over 120 something in the ultimate.

If you want him, buy him.

Bradley left hurt, congrats Fukudome winners!! Your guy just locked up the OF position.

Second it's not clear that Fukudome will not continue to platoon - Uncle Lou has been dying to get some AB for Micah Hoffpauir, so even IF Bradley was to be off for a few games, you could see Fukudome, Johnson and Hoffpauir all getting some playing time.

ETA - now officially "day to day with a strained groin"

Fukudome will get the majarioty of the at bats.

I wouldnt worry about Johnson or Grasshopper.

Fukudome was the pick up of the week. you will see.

Scutaro for $161 in my #1300 mixed league made my $6 for Izturis look like a steal I think!

I guess I feel better about getting Stults for 13-24 was a deal

Spy I am just glad I drafted Fukodome and grabbed Scutaro for $2 last week. No so glad that he ended up being one of my best offensive performers last week or that Fukodome was on my bench though.
