Anybody think the fact that Axford's dealing with some stuff will tilt things in Betancourt's favor assuming Ottavino gets passed over?

I'm fully invested in Ottavino, as I own him in all five of my leagues (for $3, $1, $1, $5 and $10) so take anything I say on the subject with a grain of salt.

I grabbed Ottavino in my AFA league late last week then dropped him for Greene, figuring I could grab him again if he had a shot to close. Ottavino isn't even a FA again until tomorrow and I doubt he clears waivers. :P

Originally posted by overkill94 View PostI think it might've been our own Moonlight J who said in a podcast that it makes more sense for the Rockies to inflate the price of someone like Betancourt or Axford to build trade value at the deadline. They've started hot but the odds of them remaining contenders is still pretty low.
Either way, we had no shot of seeing anyone but Betancourt out there to night since the other option threw the last two days.

Originally posted by Judge Jude View Postafter flirting with Ottavino at 10 a couple of weeks ago, I tossed him back. he lasted all the way til endgame, and I was in dollar days. finally nominated him - and my archrival won the bidding at 2. potentially brutal outcome. I did take away his beloved Ryu for 10 after he max-bidded to 9, so there's that.
Go Ax! Go Raffy!

Originally posted by Silentmist View PostYeah, because starting the season off 6-2 is a reason to start tanking games. If teams really thought like this, they'd never contend.

Originally posted by cardboardbox View Postthe first one is the most important. I think if both were available and I could only grab one, I'd lean to Betancourt.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
