[USML Announce] other good cheap pick ups

[Jeffrey Winick]

Mark,

Don't take the bait. Brad's just puffing Salty to make a market. If Brad can't pawn him off on one us us, he'll be available at the draft.

Avila would definitely be my choice for best value retainable catcher. Though I don't think Santana and his 26 HR at $11 is too far behind.

I'm basing this solely on 2011 auction acquisitions:

  $1 category:  Dayan The Tank Viciedo will be good next year (maybe) and Jesus Vargas blessed us for awhile, but neither comes remotely close to Big Papi and his 314 BA, 29 taters and 95 rib-eyes....keep a closer eye on Klein next year when he starts counting off....

 $2 category: credit to Jeffrey Winick for two great picks: Ivan Nova (15 wins, 3.81 ERA, but caution flags abound with that high WHIP and low strike out total) and Saltalamacchia (16 homers and 56 RBI--compare that to other AL catchers, dear fellows)

 $3 category: special award to K-9 for picking up AJ Burnett, just 'cos that's such a ballsy, self-destructive move.....


More, later.....
