12 (or 10 or 11) team 5x5 roto auction mixed. keep 3-7 players at +$5 from last year. prices above reflect the +$5 and would be the kept prices for 2009.
We may be short owners, so it may be as few as 10 teams.
I was thinking of keeping: E Santana $9, R Harden $14, N McClouth $13, C Perez $7, F Francisco $6,
W Rodriguez $5 and possibly M Bradley $5. But that was going to depend on the preseason health of bradley and harden. And now Santana has gone and gotten hurt. Still not sure if my kid closers are winning their jobs, and if we only have 10 teams, I can probably throw Wandy back.
I wasn't going to keep $28 Morneau, $28 Fielder, $23 B Roberts or $20 Markakis.
I've been trying to get a dependable ace to back-up Harden, but haven't gotten any bites. Hanely is getting kept cheap, Pujols is getting kept at about market value, Arods down, Reyes might get kept.
Wright is clearly the best player available, and as we have one team that is loaded with keepers, we would have to bid him up to $50 on wright. In general I hate the idea of putting so much money on one player, but hes good, and the Milledge thrown in might make it worth it to me.
Opinions?
