remember that it is not about what the players will sell for at auction, it is about what they will earn but your other keepers and their contracts will affect that decision
My other keepers right now are
Chris Coste $1...just a cheap catcher..doesn't kill me anywhere
Mark Reynolds $7
Ryan Braun $7
Matt Kemp $13
Ryan Spilborgs $2
Mike Gonzalez $5
Hong-Chi Kuo $5
Chris Perez $10....border-line pick for me..waiting to see the bull-pen situation
Brett Myers $10
2Catcher pluc CI MI U.
plenty of value there w/reynolds, braun, kemp, spilsborgh, gonzo..i'd keep KJ, tulo, and wellemeyer..8 guys = $59 (your call on coste, kuo, perez and myers) ..keeping pfeliz and mreynolds may doom you to last place in BA
kuo was roto gold in 08, wasnt he ?! but w/a $200 cap, i wouldnt carry any middle reliever/setup guys especially $5 ones
if you buy 2 C for $1 each that leaves $139 for 13 slots..that seems like it's probably an average/middle of the pack $ amount..if cperez makes it (and i think he will), your most pressing need would be an ace SP and another top solid SP
