Feel pretty good about it, though I overpaid for Vic Martinez when I should have waited. The key to these auctions is to get some top tier players early, then wait like crazy for the bargains. I think Martinez will bounce back, but at that stage of the auction, I should have held off and gotten two or three bargains late. Still, I think this team has a chance in a 17-team league.
