Ah, but  I'd did have FAAB dollars left since the successful bid on Betemit 
was 34,  leaving me with 43 dollars left. 

I had been led to believe that a  blockbuster trade was imminent with 
Blocker. Guess you're going to ride it  out. Since Brad long ago annointed you as 
champ, I can't imagine there's  anything to worry about. 

Good luck.

All:
 
  Just back from the remote woods of Northern Wisconsin.  I can  confirm that 
I had trade talks with various teams, making my long drive home  today much 
more enjoyable.  An actual quote from my wife at 12:12  p.m.:  "Well, the 
deadline has passed."
 
  With regard to Jeff's message above, I was wondering how we should  handle 
the various bids/results of the weekend.  Some of Jeff's bids show  up on the 
evaluator results as "over limit."  Jeff may well be correct in  the message 
above about how to treat those bids, but I was wondering if others  share that 
view.
 
  I will offer one observation here that I think Jeff's e-mail points  up: I 
think the All Star Stats website was not worth the extra money we  paid.  I 
think it could well be a fine system for other leagues, but I  think it is 
ill-suited to our rules, particularly the e-bay style FAAB  bidding.  In addition, 
lets not forget the many start-up issues we  experienced at the beginning of 
the season.  Once the current season  concludes, we should have a discussion 
about whether to return to TQ Stats, or  some other cheaper alternative.  Just 
one person's opinion.
