Alex Apr 21	After his high peg-to-second count, catching Wakefield the day before, didn't even DH tonight.
MikeG Mar 9	That's hilarious, Victor went for $21 in OUR keeper league as well.
Alex Mar 9	In fairness, I should mention that Peter also bought Victor Martinez for the team that we co-manage in the XFL. For $15. An excellent price, especially in a mixed league, where position scarcity really counts. I think so, anyway. That's why you see the whopping bid that I have for him above. It's not like I expect Victor to blossom into a $30 hitter in a full season in Fenway. I expect him to be the second-best hitting catcher in baseball, and I know the 29th- and 30th-best catchers are going to be awful. The $1 pickings for catchers in the end game are going to be slim; the $1 pickings for outfielders are going to be plentiful.
Rotoman Mar 8	So it was the premise that was a bust. Our prices weren't consservative, they were right. We all had Victor priced at $17 and he went for $17 in every startup league we know about. He went for $21 in the ADL, but that's a keeper league, explaining some of that. Alex: When you put it that way, and there's no reason you shouldn't, my behavior does sound scandalous. If I was governor of NY I would vow not to run for reelection. But I wasn't dissembling, and now that I look at it more closely, there was nothing to comment on. We were right!
MikeG Mar 6	He went for $17 in all three of the "expert" leagues, so you're talking about a pretty incredible level of consensus on a player who was not only coming off of injury, but who had performed pretty badly when he did step on to the field. Stage Three is when there's consensus about a player for whom there probably shouldn't be consensus. Unless Peter's found Stage Four and isn't telling us. His prices in the software certainly don't look like Stage Three to me.
Alex Mar 6	You have to go back to go forth, Mike! That's my answer. I notice Peter's staying mum.
MikeG Mar 6	Gentlemen, there's a great deal of hindsight in this back and forth. When I bought V-Mart for $17 last February, no one was exactly clapping me on the back for the great bargain I got. There was more than a fair amount of concern for V-Mart...and the notion that he might never be the same after the injury. $17 seemed like a fair price for him at the time.
Alex Mar 5	Peter, are you saying what I think you're saying? You didn't trash Mike and me for our bone-headed bids last year for Victor Martinez because you wanted to buy him in YOUR OWN LEAGUE? That's not nice!
Rotoman Mar 4	I don't know where those conservative prices came from, but I know why I didn't comment on them. My whole plan last year was to buy Victor Martinez. I in fact traded Joe Mauer in the offseason, a nicely priced Mauer before the injury, to open a slot for Martinez, who I thought would go cheaply (I hope for $17 or $18). So I have him as a freeze this year for $21 and I'm not unhappy. But the team I traded Mauer to didn't freeze him (at $22) because of the injury, bought him back at $18 in the draft, and have an even better keep. Shucks!
