C Kurt Suzuki OAK $11.................$2-4 too high
1B/CI Sean Casey BOS $10............ he's still around ??
2B/MI Akinori Iwamura TB $14 or $19 to keep for 2010 also ....he's worth the $14 not $19
1B/CI/ Justin Morneau MIN $28............got him at $22 for '09
2B/SS/MI Erick Aybar $1 or $6 for 2010 and $11 for 2011 ..........$6 is a good number here
OF Carl Crawford TB $33...Sizemore is worth 33, not Carl
OF Jack Cust OAK OF $10 or $15 for 2010 and $20 for 2011......nice $15 player
C/DH Jarrod Saltalamacchia $10 .......don't know about Salty's PT, maybe $5

Pitchers
Mark Buehrle CWS $13, $18 for 2010 .........$22 bucks worth of AL only arm here
Paul Byrd (Free Agent) BOS $5 if he signs with AL team......if he sign,s OK
Scott Kazmir TB $24 .........you're not gonna like him at $24
Ryan Rowland-Smith SEA $10........pass

None of the values really excite me. I pretty much echo what ayebatter said. However, I think Morneau is a good keeper at that price ($28) for AL only since he's a borderline 1st rounder.

In a AL/NL only league its not a sin to overpay for top talent, just know that you are and adjust elsewhere.

Here is what I was thinking

C Kurt Suzuki OAK $11
2B/MI Akinori Iwamura TB $14 for 2009, lose in 2010
1B/CI/ Justin Morneau MIN $28
2B/SS/MI Erick Aybar $6 for 2010 and lose him in 2011
OF Jack Cust OAK OF $15 for 2010, lose him in 2011
C/DH Jarrod Saltalamacchia $10

Pitchers
Mark Buehrle CWS $18 for 2010, lose in 2011
Paul Byrd (Free Agent) BOS $5 if he signs with AL team

Since its a 12 team league and essentially you start 2 C, 3 MI, 3 CI, 5 OF, and a DH that the value of players goes up a little compared to other leagues. Any player that is a full time player will go for a little more then normal because there aren't enough full time players to go around, This will leave me with 14 players left to get and $153 dollars left
