[USML Announce] RotoLab Question

[Richard Robbins]

We are long past the days when you could just use the RotoLab numbers wtih
confidence.  Our league values players differently.  If you are a slave to
RotoLab you will likely stop bidding on important players too early in the
draft and then you are screwed later on.  Been there.  Done that.

That's why when a gem like Bud Norris is out there, only your wallet is the
limit.

This year I'm going to overpay early and run out of money so that when the
bargains are available I can't do anything except watch Rick pick them up.
 I will overbid on players who break down and so forth.  I will be dumping
before Brad this year.
