Of course, I'd love him. All I'm saying is you might get him again at auction for less than $49. -- nm

the year before he was on your team I think for $41, I got him for $44, which is about the same as the contract price for $45 if you kept him. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:56 1
- ok, it wasnt your team, but the numbers stand. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:57
You might. You might not. It's a situation where you'd want to be comfortable with the league's bidding history. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 07:54 9
- (I guarantee he won't go for substantially less than $45, so the savings opportunity is minimal.) -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 07:55 8
  - The goal of an auction league is to find players to outperform their price tag. At $49, even Pujols has nearly no ability to do so. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 07:59 7
    - This is true, but their price tag alters once people release their keepers. He can outperform that number in draft day price. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 08:07 5
      - 50 bucks is still 50 bucks, regardless of when you spend it. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:09 4
        
        Not true, actually. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 08:09 3
        
        no one keeps 40+ dollar players in an auction league.... - groiny Mar 3, 08:11 2
        
        Again, this isn't true in the leagues I play. But if it's true in this league, then its a different consideration. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 08:13 1
        
        I need to play in your leagues. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:14
    - yup, Pujols has to win the triple crown to be worth 50 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:01
And you might wind up paying $10 more. Take the bird in the hand and ignore the people trying to game you, tru. -- nm - David Mar 3, 07:54 2
- I think the highest price any player has gone for in the history of the auction is $50 or $51. - Subversive Mar 3, 07:56 1
  - that could be said for every year i have been in this league, sadly. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 07:58
