"Seaman Ropes" -
How did you get those 1 dollar pitchers outta curiosity - end of the draft when everyone was out of money or did you nominate them in the mid rounds? Just curious - doing an auction this year myself.
I got most of them near the end. Yahoo! has buried a lot of pretty valuable guys, a strategy I plan on taking full advantage of with an auction draft with my buddies later on. Look at #199 below, unfortunately I was tapped out at this point.
The one exception was Vlad, who I got for a buck when plenty of people still had money left.
The site I'm using had Wandy right around $22-23, but because my normal league is QS instead of Wins, I may have overvalued him a little. I probably would've been better off getting someone for $15 and another guy for $8, but so it goes. I was obviously very aggressive early building a big offense, and then I had to sit back for awhile to finish out my team. During that time, I tried to nominate guys that I knew would suck up a lot of cash, including plenty of 2B, since I didn't have the budget for an elite 2B. That allowed me to get Kendrick pretty cheaply. Given all the $1 bargains, this seems like a good strategy, for Yahoo! anyway.
Another thing I noticed on Yahoo! is that they give an "average" price of what guys are going for, and a lot of people are pretty loathe to go more than a couple bucks over that. I wasn't, when it was someone that I thought was worth it.
Here's the whole draft:
