But given that, if you are (correctly) only keeping people who are way cheaper than their value...

why on Earth would you not drop $50 on the best available player? the only reason to get bargains is to have extra money to spend on something cool.

Yup. Keeping bargains is important, but quality is quality. - musubi Mar 3, 08:32
I can protect all 7 of my keeps for the price of Pujols. - groiny Mar 3, 08:31 18
- So who are your 7 keeps? - musubi Mar 3, 08:37 16
  - I have not looked in depth, but my first inclination is : - groiny Mar 3, 08:44 15
    - I'm honestly curious what the most money you've left a draft not having spent is. I'm guessing $20-30 easy. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 08:57 10
      - plus, every time I have ever spent tall $ on one player.... - groiny Mar 3, 09:02
      - nope. I usually end up with needing one or two players and maybe 5 bucks to do it with. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 09:00
      - No, groiny is good that way. - Subversive Mar 3, 08:58 7
        
        I just don't follow how you could enter a draft with over $200 to fill like 13 spots, and not just decide to get the two best players available. - TFox Mar 3, 09:00 5
        
        It seems like you're saying two different things. Can you clarify? - Subversive Mar 3, 09:04 1
        
        What I'm suggesting is that if Pujols goes for around $40, your league is doing it wrong. - TFox Mar 3, 09:09
        
        I put a high value on position scarcity. - groiny Mar 3, 09:01 2
        
        I'm impressed if you see success with that. I have rarely seen that work. - TFox Mar 3, 09:04 1
        
        also depends on the # of teams.... - groiny Mar 3, 09:06
        
        Also, I am the king of $10 left with 10 players still to get. - Subversive Mar 3, 08:59
    - You're miscalculating your $$. It's a $2 increase minimum. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 08:52 2
      - free agent pickup would then be 3 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 08:59 1
        
        Yeah, if you bid $1 on them with FAAB last year, he'd be $3 to keep. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 09:08
    - Hard to argue that, but you'll probably spend more to get Utley back. - musubi Mar 3, 08:50
- i tried the same thing the first couple of years i was in this league, never worked well. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 3, 08:33
