Perhaps, but the most expensive player in our AL only auction league last season was $41. I traded for Adrian Gonzalez at $37 during the season, and I plan to toss him back. I just don't think that keeping such expensive players put you in a very good position for the auction.
The original poster does have $20 more than the norm to spend, but he also has 2 more roster spots than normal. Also, he's in a mixed league, which depresses player value.

Like everyone said, toss them back.
I would go Pujols if you are going to keep one but he's overpriced.

Perhaps it depends on your league mates and their drafting tenancies. In my mixed auction league Pujols/Miggy go for $45-50 every season ($260 cap). I'm also conducting a similar slow auction right now and both went for the same. There is a premium set on the elite talents.
