    In my snake draft they went WAY early.

    In my auction some guy that knows little outbid me on Cueto for $3(!). I didn't have enough to bid $4. My consolation prize? Volquez at a buck.

    I took Volquez with my final pick in my 14 team league.

    Re: Anyone have Voluez and Cueto in Fantasy league?

    I was in a big draft with lots where you even have a minor league team. I was playing with non-Reds fans and nobody knew much about Cueto or Volquez. I think I got Volque in like the 22nd round.

    This draft did take place before spring training so I also got Cueto insanely late designed to be on my minor league squad. Instead I'm the first one to start getting dividends from my minor league team.

    Anyways, I'm in 5 leagues, and have Volquez in 4 of them (my brother had to be a big jerk and take him, but he was nice enough to leave me Cueto), Cueto in a couple. Unfortunately with Cueto, Yahoo didn't have him available until after his first start. Which kind of sucks. Nobody knew about him until he set fire in his first start. Otherwise I would have picked up Cueto before anyone even knew who he was.

    We drafted auction in mid-March. I got Cueto for $2 and Volquez in the reserve draft.

    I'm looking "great".

    Guy in my league has both of them - he's a Phillies fan. Must have been a tough day for him.

    I have Volquez. Yahoo didn't have Cueto in the system soon enough otherwise I would have had both. Nice production so far

    I got 'em both. If they are both this good, both my real team and my fantasy team could be quite competitive this year!

    I picked Ceuto after his first start. He convinced me he's was worth it after one start. I dropped Dontrelle Willis to pick him up.

    I don't have Cueto. I tried to pick him up, but I didn't have a very high waiver priority, so someone else got him.

    I have Volquez though.

    Just drafted Volquez today...he went for 11 bucks, and Cueto went for 21! If we would have held it a week ago, Cueto probably would have gone for 6 or something like that.

    I'm in a 16 team league with 30-man rosters (480 players). I was hoping to get Cueto, but he went way too early for a young rookie pitcher. I'm sure it didn't help that Jayson Stark ran an article about the hot spring surprises 2 days before my draft.
    Stick to your guns.

    I picked Cueto up with my next to last pick in our draft. Everyone hates me. Claiming I had "insider knowledge".

    Yeah, so?
