Another week brings another slew of closer chaos bids. Seriously, I don't think I've seen such chaos in such a compact period of time. I'm leading my league in saves, and yet my closers are shaky - Chris Perez, Brandon League and a pseudo-closer in Kenley Jansen (that got a little closer with Guerra's blown save today), so I was in on the bidding on Soriano, Cashner, Frieri - Dolis was already picked up last week. Sort of bummed I didn't get Frieri - I really like his skill set, but the Scott Downs injury (and now the news on LaTroy Hawkins) bumped up his price. I was at $45 on him.
More bothersome though was missing out on my top hitting options - I can only use Lillibridge if he's guaranteed more playing time or if there are more injuries to my team. I'm really crossing my fingers on the Desmond Jennings injury right now. My hitting has been great, but I'm a little light on stolen bases. I should have bid a lot more on Jarrod Dyson (I was the $37 bid).
Cuts this week: Bruce Chen, Mat Gamel.

This team is in a little bit of trouble. I've likely lost Cory Luebke for the season, and Dan Hudson has been out for a while. I was in on the bidding on about eight of these players, only to get outbid all over the place. Oh, and I had Luke Hochevar active for me this week. Unacceptable.
