His K rate is through the roof and his stuff is phenomenal. He looks a lot like Brandon Webb out there. He had two bad games with the walks. Hopefully, that won't keep up and he'll be fine.

someone in one of my leagues picked up Rafael Perez for $200+ in the first FAAB period. I think they just got confused on which Cleveland RP Perez it was.

I picked up Chris Davis for $173 and next highest was $13. I think I take the cake for this post. Heres hoping to a Chris Davis sighting in Boston. I now have Smoak and Davis. That wasn't a cheap package.

cheers.

I agree with the post above. Masterson has great stuff and in the end that will look like a pretty good pick up. He has only been victimized by the long ball of late.

I can add my 266 bid on Kearns runner up was 109 but when you have had most of your players either on D/L or injured you have to try something Wish I could put my AC pitching with NY hitting Hitting in NY was going great until Rollins and Cruz went down Just got weather the storm

Saw Aaron Rowand picked up last week for $150 or so with no other bids. That has to hurt.

I do think if you liked him enough to draft him then you ought to still like him enough to roster him, but come on, it's a 12 team league. I saw Markakis dropped in a 12 team league last week.
