That's right -- I got him.
After obsessing over Daisuke Matsuzaka all spring long...I landed him earlier tonight in the FantasyAuctioneer.com AL-only Experts League.
And for the low price of just $29.
Tonight's auction meant I didn't get to see much in the way of games today (although I had the YES Network broadcast of the Reds-Yankees game on in the background and saw the Roger Clemens love-fest...and the scare early in the game when a shattered bat came flying at Andy Pettitte.)
I'll go over the championship team I assembled in just a moment. But first, a public service announcement: My sportsblurb.com column is up for this week. You can check it out at http://sportsblurb.com/baseball/game.asp.
OK, now onto the squad. The league is a 13-team (ugh!) AL-only league with a $260 cap...no keepers...and a five-round reserve draft following the auction. Here's what the boys look like for '07...
C - Greg Zaun, $6
C - Vance Wilson, $1
1B - Shea Hillenbrand, $11
2B - Brian Roberts, $26
3B - Akinori Iwamura, $12
SS - Juan Uribe, $6
CI - Aubrey Huff, $21
OF - Jermaine Dye, $27
OF - Raul Ibanez, $18

I think you did a great job in the AL-DRaft. You might need an outfielder at some point but there are worse things...
Thanks, Jon -- I agree with you that my outfield is a little weak. I wasn't planning to spend that much ($35) on a closer, but I got caught up a bit in the K-Rod bidding. I may need an OF with who can provide stolen bases during the season...
