just swap out the league type (al, nl, mixed) in the url to get to the results you want to see

So https://rtsports.com/labr-al-auction is where we find our fearless leader.

I like the Franimal and Calhoun buys a lot. Otherwise a lot of meh on offense. Man, deep only leagues are hard. But no giant holes either which is good.Pretty solid pitching. Is Kittridge even going to make the team? I would have preferred a more solid MR in that spot to cover any holes you might have in a given week.

Wow, Zola nailed the AL auction.

Wow, Zola nailed the AL auction.

Did he really? The pitching seems a little suspect to me.

[joncarlos]

$32 for BoBichette is a thing that happened.

@JC -- I'm a big believer in Kittredge's skills playing up again in 2020.

Velo up, spin up on his pitches --- lots to like on this page - https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savan...r-pitching-mlb

Niko Goodrum for $15? Aside from the multi-position eligibility, what do I not know about him, Jason? Seems meh.

Krush for $19 seems like a good gamble.

Springer at $27 in a 12-teamer makes me wonder what I could get him back in my 10-team AL with 20% inflation... have him at $30.

[Moonlight J]

Goodrum was the 103rd player in the auction. I like to have a few guys to move around the lineup, so him, Alberto, and Lopez are the 3 that I have with him being the only one who I can move from the IF to the OF if needed. I have him projected for:

18 HR
71 runs
65 RBI
16 steals
.249 avg
545 ABs

[SlideRule]

Thanks Jason. Do you have any buys (good or bad) that stand out to you from the auction? Any plans to do a broader writeup on it - either your team specifically or the overall draft - in the near future?

Lots of folks project 18 HR - seems really heavy to me. His launch angle was only 13 degrees last season. What am I missing?

I don't have the full answer here, but a 13 degree launch angle isn't a problem. Bogaerts, Harper, Cruz, Bell all in that range. Although then we should discuss Avg EV. But I'm not exactly sure what the argument is since you only stated LA.

[Pauly]

He has decent hard hit rates but certainly not in line with those guys...maybe you are right I dont know. I just raad that angle as a negative for goodrum.

Eta- he hit 12 HR with the happy ball and that launch angle, why is he better this year

I guess they are giving him another 100 ab...to answer my own question

I hear you but he has two closers and Minor/Manaea/Montas (who I really like)/Civale is very solid. Canning could be valuable if he can stay on the mound. I think it's a very solid pitching staff considering how good the offense is.

LABR is old school, no reserving a player unless he is hurt or farmed, but reserves can go up and down. If Canning is hurt, I can stream from my reserve which includes Cessa, Michael King and Martin Perez. So, Cessa to play it safe and either King or Perez if a good matchup -- or a burn and churn from FAAB,
