i've been starting this dog in 4 nfbc leagues since day one. i haven't pulled him from my starting lineup yet. THANK GOD!!!!

IF he's on waiver wire and you need a catcher, min 200 if you want to secure him. catchers are so scarce, 4hr on the season IS A GOLDMINE from that position

Gekko - I just noticed he's available in our mixed $1300 auction! Is it safe to assume you'll be going over $200+ on him?

I think you're going to go higher than $50.

I just put him on the "search for something better" list this week. Good thing I didn't do it last week.

i know at least one team in each league will be looking for a catcher...

Athletics placed catcher Kurt Suzuki on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 24, with a strained intercostal muscle.

me thinks that the kind of injury that can linger all season.

GET BUCK IF YOU JUST LOST SUZUKI!!!

Gekko · Post by **Gekko** » Sun May 02, 2010 4:11 am

Add another team in each league to the John Buck FABB sweepstakes!!!!

Joe Mauer (bruised heel) will again again be out of the Twins lineup on Sunday, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Anyone smell a DL stint coming?

not sure, maybe right after draft saw Olivo was available, but thought well he's gonna split time w/Iannetta right?

So instead of getting Olivo for a buck (and dropping Buck) then, a wk later my $91 bid was about $60 short.

Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make. W/ that said I'd still MUCH rather have Olivo for the remainder than Buck!

Forget King Kong Kingman.....go Midnight Cowboy

J. Buck !

You too, Barajas!

Would be nice if the catcher I drafted in 2nd rd (VMart) could get up to speed w/ these two. Even my 4th catcher (Zaun) is outhitting Victor!

I have both Martinez & Buck on one of my Main Event teams. I wanted a stud catcher....who would have thought that of these two, Buck would have been the one.

The only thing better than Buck jacking 2 homers a night is the Buckdouble at McDonalds you cant beat a 2 dollar lunch.

In one of my high stakes league's i have the Buck and Barajas combo in the 25th and 26th round unreal.

Now if I can only get me pitching straight in that league!

Thank you Buck, may I have another
