2,600 Javier Vazquez innings went for a rather economical $12m. Comprable pitcher Mark Buehrle (though paired with Keith Foulke) went for $37m.

kneeneighbor and I are going to leapfrog each other by $1M on the Oakland SP unit all the way up to $100M.  Unfortunately for me, the bastard has the even number at the moment, which gives him the inside track.

$12M for that lot was thievery.

Yeah, it's interesting.  I think some units have been highly overvalued and some were highly undervalued.

I agree. I wanted them, but figured the price would be too much. I was defintely surprised at how low they went...  I am happy with Florida at $16mil though. Between my SP and RP I have a rotation of Lowe, Wakefield, Penny, Burnett and Dempster... Not too shabby... To go along with Konerko & Durham, I don't think I'm doing too bad...

Maybe there is a bunch of Yankee fans in the league, and the idea of having Vazquez and Pavano was too much for them.

I'm a Yankee fan and I can kind of understand Pavano.   But Vazquez has been a good pitcher pretty much every year of the decade in which he didn't pitch in NY.

I tried to get my bargains on the hitting side and am amping up for a few pitching bidding wars (NOT Oakland!).  I am surprised I got the Mets IF for $5 million.  I wasn't really excited about them (Mora is good for the duration, and there are several other good seasons in the lot), but when I could get 'em for the opening bid . . .

Wonder who's saving some money to bid on Pujols and Sabathia in '01?

I think we decided that trades can happen whenever we want during the draft. There was a trade thread started but it is probably a few pages back now.

Again, in case anyone missed it,  chargingryno=magracefan.

Players may be bought, sold, or traded prior to the season.  During the season, trades involving players only are permitted- no cash transactions.  We do have a trade thread, and feel free to advertise there as a buyer/seller.  I'll bump it.
