If my math is right you left $6 bucks on the table not the end of the world but not good either.

Your pitching needs Heaney to come back sooner than later and stay healthy. Love Stanton for $36. Like the gamble on 14 Miggy I don't think he is done yet. Owings for 3 could be real good for you.

You are taking quiet a few gambles, you look really good if they pay off. If only half pay off you will have good assets to keep or trade.

I don't think this is a team that you can stand pat on. If you like tinkering this should be a fun team to play with.

McHugh is really getting bid up this year to where there's not much room for profit.

Your math must be off. I spent every cent of my $265. Guzman took $4 of my last $6 leaving me to use my last $2 on Leblanc and Britton.

Was at that time of the auction. Seems like there were a lot more good buys on hitters. Pitching is really thin this year in the AL. Peacock went right after McHugh, for $14 or $15.

Glad to be wrong on that, hope I am right on the other stuff.

His math isn't off - the prices in your post add up to 259.

Not sure what you mean was it at the time of the auction. My point was simply that I'd have trouble spending that much of my budget on McHugh, that price seems above his ceiling as far as value returned. If that's what he's going for I'd reallocate my money towards another player/position personally.

I just meant that when he was nominated, there were a lot of guys still looking for a 2nd starter. Pitching seems to be thin in the AL this year.
