Jason Collette: The auction will begin at 10:15 ET

9:59
Comment From Doug Dennis
Good luck!

Comment From Doug Dennis
I like what Derk Van Riper did in the mixed last night.

    Jason Collette: Yep – definitely threw a few people for a loop 

10:05
Comment From Guest
Beachy for 61$ in mixed, that wierd

    Jason Collette: The league rules allow you to reclaim money from the auction on FAAB $$ when a guy is placed on a DL. It was the best way he could salvage a bad draft. 

10:05
Comment From Doug Dennis
Let’s see who does what!

I’m on Freese, if just bc he is considered so unsexy. Great OBP pick.

Larry is going to have to control it. Playing from behind in the fourth quarter.

12:48
Comment From Steve Gardner
Who are the best hitters left for Larry to spend on?

12:50
Comment From Tim McLeod
good question

12:50
Comment From Steve Gardner
Lotta work to do. He going to HAVE to go beyond his values. Bwahhahaha

12:51
Comment From Tim McLeod
and Colton/Wolf, Liss and Ron have some cash left

12:51
Comment From The GM
Should be some bidding wars for players that don’t deserve one.

12:52
Comment From Doug Dennis
Colton/Wolf and Ron are going to have to get going too. Liss in best position (I think).

12:52
Comment From Tim McLeod
agreed Doug

12:54
Comment From Doug Dennis
agree w/the GM. Folks may need to be careful about using values from this auction.

12:54
Jason Collette:

I need to buy setup men

12:55
Comment From Doug Dennis
lots of great set up left. Should be able to be disciplined and get $1 ones who play.

12:56
Comment From The GM
I think Liebowitz looks strong. Offense all starters….good core in pitching….plenty of pitchers to pick from in the end game.

12:56
