| Message | Not that I was actually trying to take big bucks off of Dan, but I managed to remove 31 dollars from his pile to add to the 3 he gave you. And I would be shocked if Pujols went for 60....don't think hes worth that much. |

| Message | Utley was acquired by Dan and $6 was sent to the Pythons along with a 4th round slim pick for a 5th rounder in favour of the Pythons as well. |

| Message | also, when can we expect an announcement on the specifics of the Utley deal? I think in fairness it should be revealed before players are to be signed tomorrow. |

| Message | Looks like GM hiebert has made one of the more bold ULB moves of all time by once again taking a risk on a potentially great but erratic arm, and shelling out a ton of cash to get him. At least he gave the money to Pat though, who will no doubt get into a fierce bidding war for somebody like Johnathon Broxton and pay him $25 a la Damaso Marte of 2003. $32 was more than I think cain would have gone for in the open market, but not a rediculous amount. I personally had him ranked 14th among starters and valued at $26. I think he could have a hard time getting wins as he doesn't pitch deep into games with his high walk rate, and doesn't play on a good team, but the potential for 200 K's and the #1 HPI is there for sure. I would also love it if pat does sign Oliver Perez for $12, his amazing spring is inflating his value every day. Maybe you should have a look at Harden too Springer, I here he is having a fantastic spring as well. Also Bonds is leading in HR's, how does $18 sound? Keep eating up those roster spots boys. Pujols is going out first for $60, or Dice-K for $45, I can't decide. Or maybe Hamels for $50 if Hiebert doesn't take the bait on Pujols. Can't wait till next Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Message | holy crap. so let me get this straight.. before the auction even starts dan sends tim $3, pat $31 and opens his year with lidge (10), utley (28) and Cain (7) and only $181 left to spend? What is going through your head, hiebert? the highest i've seen cain ranked was 18th among starters, with him as low as 36th. one site keeps track of all the online auctions and gives the low and high bids on players. cain's low and high? 5 and $15! nobody in the expert pools paid more than $15!! what is the matter with you? i just don't understand. i suppose if the kid turns into the next pedro.. sure, but why take the chance? asinine. Ankiel, Dunn, Prior.. hmmm |

| Message | Not being settled in their first deal, GM's Kelly and Hiebert have just completed a blockbuster deal involving only one player...the highly touted but potentially dangerous Matt Cain. Cain was going to be signed by GM Kelly to a 2 year deal even though thoughts of Oliver Perez were coming to mind over and over again. It appears that the only person who thought more of Cain that GM Kelly was Hiebert as he shelled out an unprecedented $25 for him!!!! It is expected that Cain will be signed to a 3 year deal thus maximizing the cost paid today. At a minimum Hiebert is expected to sign him for 2 years. GM Kelly now vaults up to $288 going into the draft.....Pujols and Dice-K anyone???? |
