Wednesday FAABnalysis -- 12/5/12

Sleeker, meaner.

Let's rocket through this shit.

• 11 total claims
• 7 cash claims
• $44 spent
• $6.29 per cash claim

Donnie Avery -- $24 to Russ

dropped: Domenik Hixon / other bids: $7 to Norris, $4 to Derrick, $2 to Chad

Nice add for Russ, but the person I want to talk about first is Derrick.  Doesn't it hurt when you [smartly] pick a guy up, he produces, but then he gets hurt and you drop him... and then he ends up coming back and being a hot FAAB claim?  Russ spent nearly a QUARTER of his budget on Avery, for a three week rental in the hunt for ping pong balls in the conso tourney.  I've made this statement before, but I'll make it again: The correct way to manage your budget is to bid big early, land guys who might explode for the whole season.  Hoarding your money only leads you to the $24 Donnie Avery claim in week 14.  We as a league need to fix our behavior on this.  BIG BIDS, EARLY AND OFTEN!

Google image search for "you are doing it wrong" yields this.

Paul Posluszny -- $5 to Alan

dropped: Joel Dreessen or Titus Young (tuesday drops!) / other bids: none

Poz is good enough, I guess.

Montell Owens -- $5 to Norris

dropped: Anthony Dixon / other bids: $0 to Joe

Now we're just going through the motions.

Dumpster Diving...

Justin Forsett, $4 to Kendall -- This is the third time I've added him.  Ben Tate, you are a pussy.

Tony Scheffler, $3 to Kendall -- No Titus Young, no Ryan Broyles... I've got a feeling we're going to see Scheff involved as a slot receiver in Detroit.

Marcedes Lewis, $0 to Joe -- Airport Cinnabon!

Mike Thomas, $0 to Joe -- This is an interesting add.  I'll stack my Scheff up against your Mike Thomas... and we both lose.

The rest? Child please.
