I'm in the middle of a take my-9-month-old-baby-to-work day so I'm a bit swamped. Should have the SS updated tonight!

What? Are you trying to tell us that you have better things to do than run/organize/update this pool that we are enjoying at no cost to us?

Boomer is selfish.

No worries here, I keep track of my own progress. But it does look nice, nice enough to emulate for other leagues.

SS updated thru Matt Thornton -- check your rosters to make sure I didn't mess anything up!

Happy bidding today.

I'll be lucky not to finish dead last the way I'm bidding so recklessly.

Should have thought about that before you outbid me on Liriano...

[Silent Rob]

My goal was met this year... not to bid over 29.00 for any one player. Came close with lincecum & reyes but that was it.

I think spreading your dough more evenly (which can account for some nice deals) is the way to go. If not, will change it up next year lol.

This has been one of the biggest surprise bids for me so far this draft. I really didn't think Liriano would go for that much in this draft.

I was willing to go to $17, and totally thought I had him at $19. Never thought Bwanna would go to $20...

This is a list of my bargain and overpriced players. This is just off the top of my head I don't have my rankings done yet. Completely subjective so don't get your shorts in a bunch, just looking for some discussion. Each auction is different but for this draft alone I see the following.

BARGAINS. - Players I think are cheaper than they should be in this draft.
Chris B Young $14
Matt Kemp $30
Brian Roberts $8
Jason Heyward $20
Edinson Volquez $12
Aramis Ramirez $8
Derek Jeter $8
Grady Sizemore $14
Pedro Alvarez $6
Dan Uggla $22
Chase Utley $29

Players that could be deals if they produce but are a bit risky

Vernon Wells $6
Brian Fuentes $5
Koji Uehara $8
David Ortiz $8
Manny Ramirez $1 Can't complain about $1 even if he retires. Decent risk/reward.
Mike Stanton $6
Paul Konerko $9
Jose Bautista $19

OVERPAID - According to me and my drafting strategy and this auction itself.

Joe Mauer $28
Matt Thornton $11
Brian McCann $23
Russel Martin $4 - never be owned by me again.
David Wright $39
Buster Posey $18
Carlos Santana $13
Zack Greinke $23
Adam Dunn $36
Jimmy Rollins $20 - was trying to bid him up and got stuck.
Car-Go and McCutchen - Overpaid for both.
Josh Hamilton $42 - Huge risk at that price.
