If you dont overspend in keeper leagues, you spend a lotta time looking up.

Three Phillies:
Ryan Howard-His ankle was injured last year, sapping his power down the stretch. The guys in front of him were often hurt (Rollins, Utley). Meanwhile he improved on his average and cut down on his strikeouts. I think that a typical Ryan Howard year is coming, but I hope to pay less for it.
Cole Hamels-#4 starter will have top-10 numbers but likely won't cost you that.
Ryan Madson-Good era/whip with decent strikeouts, a bunch of wins and a half dozen saves. Worth a couple of bucks easily but (hopefully) won't cost you that.

Good luck on that one!!! I thought that last year he would come at a discount, no such luck. Coming off a second half as good as anyone in the game I sure don't see him going for anything but top $.

One stud offensive player. There are a bunch back in the auction. There will also be a lot of money. So I will overpay the 11 other bidders to get one. They will do the same.

players with multi-position eligibility / had a tough time fielding a full roster in deep only leagues last season with injuries.

Mike Napoli because he now play in Texas and I love catchers who don't catch.

Too early to say. This is usually an auction day determination and will depend on keepers/scarcity (not just infatuation with a player). If I know, for instance, that top starters are in short supply, I may go the extra dollar for a starter even if I already have "too many". This is especially true if I want to keep them away from my closest competitor. I think people tend to underestimate such factors and assume that "value" is the only determinant of success.

A team full of $10 guys worth $12 each might be ok. But it probably won't end up on top. I don't generally buy into "spread the risk."

Yeah, if any of the Phab Phour gets a discount, it will be Oswalt. That's who I expect to come out with. Hamels' age and 2010 second half means that bidding could get nuts for him, and you know it will for Halladay and Lee.
