Yeah, wasn't pushing for them, just needed someone to fill the spot for Darvish. Not a big deal just have to make sure I put in multiple 0 dollar bids next time.

Just suck it up like I am. I fine with the FAAB bidding but I wish it was a daily thing. When I picked up Holland I was hoping to stash him on the DL and pick someone up right away. I don't like the one minute window twice a week to pick up players at all.

I am sucking it up, just making conversation saying I need to get better about it.

So my bid went through?

I originally had it at $40+. Santos has the skills to run away with the job IMO. Apparently CJs velocity was way down throughout spring training, hopefully it stays that way.

I had.no concept of what a good bid was for Santos. Put way too much thought into a bid that wasn't even close but that's about as strong of a closer pick up as there will be. Potential elite strikeout guy and Jansen may not get right after hearing about the shoulder all off season.

I'm liking the FAAB, takes some getting used to but the fairness of the process is worth it. You can still stream 2-4 players a week which is plenty.

Yeah, there were enough moves that I just looked at view all transactions to see that.

I guess $26 is a normal cost. We are going to set our own prices.

Just checked and the 2nd highest bid was $15. I'm in dire need of saves and the way I look at FAAB is if I can score 3-4 high impact players with that $100 I'll be happy. I'll manage the rest of my pickups with $0 bids

That makes sense. I probably should have done the same as I own is Crain who is on the DL. My plan was to use FAAB on closers. I have been too frugal.

People are soon going to realize this is the way to go. In my home leagues, I blow through FAAB by the end of May.

Good news. Games lock individually. I was very nervous about that after reading that confounding message last night.

Same. I figured I would go with Albers instead, since he was already in a committee.

Crain is the dude IMO. Should bet me a nice 12 saves over the season.

don't count him on your roster unless you can spend $96
