I hink Gardner is a bit expensive at 17. I think you can get a Rajai Davis much cheaper, that's just me.

I would considering throwing Gardner back and keeping a cheaper option. Do you have any alternatives? Ackley isn't worth 9 either, though I was one that was high on him as a prospect.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

i agree on both. in this league you have to sign a guy to a contact up to 3 years. i did sign ackley for 3 years after i drafted him for a dollar. so i get him for 6 this year, 9 next and 11 in his final(+5, +3, +2). gardner i got in a trade where i gave away fielder at 35 this year and 38 next year. and i got mccutchen and gardner in return. i can cut a guy in contract but it will cost me 20 bucks in rel money that gets added to the prize pool. if gardner is healthy i dont mind keeping him and gettin all those stolen bases, and with mccutch, ells, gardner and even hrper im looking pretty good in that category. thats my thinking ayway. anyone else?????????
