Mike Fenger of course has them out on Alex's site as well as the software. What about using McGee's book? Thanks as always. Thanks very much also for addressing all my concerns here.Gypsy Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311572399730547627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37316956.post-44978180247088194012009-03-09T22:04:00.000-04:002009-03-09T22:04:00.000-04:00Mike, as always, great notes and comments from all...Mike, as always, great notes and comments from all. I would add that league context is also at play here. We will have a ridiculous inflation rate of something like 1.44 if my projections of who will get frozen in this AL only league are right. That may mean that Carlos Gomez at $20 is a borderline good price. Hard for me to tell because the software (using this particular league's denominators) has him likely to earn $15. Certainly means I will trade A. Cabrera to get him, position flexibility notwithstanding, AC is 13 bucks and even with inflation I would not keep him. Anyway, sorry to get off point, in the abstract, C. Gomez is not worth $20 but where there are almost no SBs available at auction (I have Jacoby), even without inflation is a bid price I might go to if in the open market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37316956.post-61090270296253753922009-03-09T18:19:00.000-04:002009-03-09T18:19:00.000-04:00Hey Mike,Long time reader, first time poster. Tha...Hey Mike,<BR/><BR/>Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks for all of the helpful posts, they really are great!<BR/>One question regarding these bid limits, are you more willing to go above them in the cases where you are in the last player highly valued at a scarce position, where the other top players went above your limits and after this guy there is a considerable dropoff? Or would you rather try and buy more bargains at other positions and just keep gaining value? I don't like to handcuff myself to a group of players but sometimes during the auction it becomes clear that if you let a guy slip by over a few bucks you may be scrambling later to fill that position with limited options.<BR/><BR/>ThanksCinderella Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441232899896359713noreply@blogger.com
