    How much would you pay for Troy Tulowitzki?

    In our 12 team NL only 5x5 he was kept at $40 last year. I am pretty sure he will be put back in the auction. He hasn't seen 500 abs in the last 3 years an only one time in the last 5.

    He certainly can be a fantasy monster if he could ever stay healthy.

    I think I top out this year at $31 bucks. Anything less and I would be happy, but much more and I would feel like a made a mistake.

    What would you pay?

    I guess it depends on your own level of risk when forming your team. Myself, I will not even bid on him. Let someone else deal with the headache and reap the rewards. If I were to bid on him I would be right around $25, which probably wouldn't get him.

      $15 in mixed leagues probably. I want the price level to be a point where it does not make my gut wrench. I doubt I get him this year in any league.
      Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

        He's another player I would only roster at a drastic discount, but at least when he plays it''ll be at an elite level at a weak position. I estimate he's with about $40 over an entire season so I'd likely bow out at $24 (I.e. 60%) because there is very little likelihood for profit beyond that. And the chances he goes that cheap are virtually nil so I don't even consider him as an option.

          The funny thing is: I haven't heard a single person say they will get him in drafts so I honestly don't know WHO is buying. We all think steep discount or pass. Maybe one us of will get lucky.

            Maybe, but it only takes one sucker, er, believer.

              A lot more in shallow leagues where the replacement is Erick Aybar or someone like that, compared to NL only where the replacement is Ruben Tejada if you're lucky.

                Umm...I think it takes two in an auction format.

                As DJBeasties stated maybe someone gets lucky. In this thread I am trying to see what is the threshold (or $1 over) for what that looks like. I probably fall under the more risk taker side of things. So I know no one is going to get him in our league in the mid 20's unless it is me. But after reading this my threshold is lowered a buck to $30.

                  I meant it only takes one other person to outbid me or you.

                    I'd probably go into the high $20s, but I'd be looking to deal him in June if he's still healthy.
                    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                      Tulo will deliver top 5 SS value, even if he only gets 100 games. Add in your replacement value SS, and that's a lot of value in a single slot. I'm not afraid

                        I bought him for $43 last year, waived him while on the DL, let him pass through waivers, and reacquired him for a FAAB bid and salary of $29 ($1 more than the highest possible FAAB bid of my opponents) and am pretty happy to keep him at that. I think he earned $20+ in his limited time last season, if he does at least that again, and his replacement gives me a few bucks of value, I break even at least, with the longshot of huge profit if he is healthy longer this season.
                        Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.

                        Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.

                          So what would you pay for him at auction this year?

                            So how high would you go in an auction this year?

                              in a 12 team mixed draft he probably still goes in the first round - probably
