<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately for me (and for Liam Hendriks), I ignored the cardinal rule of fantasy baseball: never, ever watch your own pitchers. When Hendriks came on in the ninth, I sat there and watched as he of course got lit up. Fortunately, I immediately left the room. Thereafter, Tim Anderson (also a Nuke) delivered the game-winning blast and turned Liam's blown save into a win.

<div class="yiv1187720692x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large;">League: Here is the late and plainly unhelpful response that I received from Onroto about the method by which its system processes FAAB bids. Kudos to you if this helps you figure things out. I think the
short answer is that they have no idea how their system handles contingent bids, so plan accordingly.</div>

Hope this isn't too late, Mark...<br clear="none">

The bids are sorted based on the highest bid. The blocks don't matter usually, but<br clear="none">
the contingent order does. If you don't get your first contingent, we start going<br clear="none">
down your list. When you do win, all the contingent bids are flushed out. So the<br clear="none">
most important thing is to put the guys you truly want as your highest contingent<br clear="none">
bids. If your want more than one player, you need to use more than one block.<br clear="none">
