  • MSGL 12 Team AL Only 5x5 HDID

    Last auction for me until baseball gets scheduled, so with nothing else to do here is how this one went. I'll focus on my team and I will give my software list of keepers and who was bought but the end game in this one is a mess. I just couldn't keep up and am not motivated to double check. You'll notice some obvious farm type guys aren't taken like Roberts, they are owned in someones farm but didn't count as a keeper.

    League details - 5x5 with saves + holds instead of saves. 1 C and 2 UT. We have weekly faab, but daily lineup. moves that let you move pitchers or hitters in that you own on your reserve. So MR pitchers have value and you can really play matchups with SP's. Everything else is pretty standard.

    Anyway, let's start with who I kept and the vague plan.

    KEEPERS

    C Gary Sanchez $10
    2B Shed Long $5
    3B Y Moncada $15
    CI Devers $15
    MI LeMahieu $13

    P Glasnow $14
    P M Boyd $14
    P L Hendriks $1
    P Bummer $1
    P K Gibson $3

    Had to eat $6 penalty on a $12 Aaron Hicks contract.

    So I had pretty decent value coming in but lost a $20 Mookie Betts in the offseason that would have made this list much nicer. Not the best keeper list in the league, but it is one that can play if I get the auction right.

    Ok so the plan is not to worry about buying an ace, they will go for more than I can afford. I'll try to spend $25 to get 2 SP's I don't hate. Buy at least one MR guy I really like for holds for another 5-8. Grab SP's for cheap and anyone who I like for holds for cheap.

    35 total

    So with pitching going on the cheap I wanted to put money into hitting. Plenty of teams had way more money than me and I knew players would go for more than I could afford. My goal was to get 3 guys I liked for $80 and position didn't matter too much. I was flexible enough to take on CI/MI or OF. Obviously with no OF'ers going in I needed to allocate more there to secondary types. So for the ballpark it was something like this...

    110

    So those are my big buys for a total of 145. Still have 23 to spend on the fill in spots. 5 of those will be reserve so call them $1 players in the plan probably pitchers. So that means 18 for 4 so about $4-$5 a player which will move up and down as some will be $6 and some will be $2 and so on.

    The list below will help but I'll give some context to how this went from my point of view. Verlander was out first and the bidding slowed down in the low 30's. I thought long and hard about jumping in, but the questions and my teams construct made me decide to sit it out. Verlander went for $36. Trout was next, I had owned him for like 5 or 6 years so this is the first time he was on the open market. He went for $66 and I was never involved. The third player out really set the tone of we are all going to pay up because there is too much money here. Ryu went for $29, and again I was not in at all.

    I mostly sat tight for quite a while, I was like Mike McD in rounders. I put some money in and pushed people up but I wasn't ready to go over my limit on people or blow my budget. Closest I got in the first few rounds was Elvis Andrus I bid up to $29 but let it slide at $30.

    Before we get to my first buy here are some prices...

    Springer 48
    Rendon 48
    JD Martinez 49
    Stanton 37
    Altuve 49
    Greinke 47
    Franmil Reyes 39

    Ok so I pushed in on two guys and wound up with one. Nelson Cruz was out first and with 2 UT spots that did not scare me off. I bid all the way up to 38, but got outbid at 39. The next guy I was in on was Jose Abreu. Technically DJ started the draft at 1B, but he could slide to MI if I bought a 1B. So I had Abreu at 36 with inflation but players worth a big investment were slipping and going over budget didn't scare me. Abreu has had over 550 PA each year and that health is important. I pushed to $39 and won him as my first buy. Abreu vs Cruz will be interesting to follow if one outperforms the other by a lot.

    Jorge Polanco was out next and I pushed to 30 but he went to $34. Yuri Gurriel went for $31 after that and CJ Cron for $26. Edwin Encarnacion was the next throw and I was again back in as I had him valued at $33. The bidding slowed in the high 20's and I stayed in and won him for $31, he went to UT for me. Justin Upton then went for $33, Max Kepler $35, Choo for $23 and Verdugo $22. Lots of OF guys I had hoped to get for less in there. Eddie Rosario was the highest rated OF'er I had left and I had him worth $32. The bidding was slowing in the mid 20's and I was just hoping there wasn't one guy out there who was going to push all the way up with me. In the end I got him for $28 and liked that buy.

    Those 3 cost me $98 which is more than I had planned, but the two SS I was considering were gone and I had Willi Castro in my minors. After Simmons went I decided to punt SS for $1 player and hope Castro at least makes the Tigers to start. So I have $70 left at this point.

    I needed OF'ers and pitchers mainly now. I sat tight for almost two rounds of tossing without buying a player. The bigger buys in that group...

    Kluber 24
    K Davis 27
    C Santana 36
    C Carrasco 21. I was in here till about 18
    Eduardo Rodriguez 34
    Hunter Renfroe 28
    Tanaka 19, this was probably the one player in this group I put a bid on that could have won.
    J Peraza 14
    A Simmons 16 I did bid to 14 or 15 here I think
    Nikko Goodrum 22

    So I was short speed at this point and wanted to focus on getting guys who will get me 10 or more steals when I could. Brett Gardner came up and I know he is boring, but for $15 I think he will be worth it.

    A fun moment of I had really misjudged value moment was me tossing Andrew Heaney hoping to get him for like 13. He went for 26. Dylan Bundy was more in my range and I bid to 15, he went for 17. Grichuk went for $19 but since he doesn't run I stayed out of it.

    Manny Margot was a target for me just for the steals and the hope that he figures it out. I only paid $8 which seemed decent. I just want 18 SB's here and hope for more.

    Aaron Civale was someone I thought I might get and I was hoping for 15, he went for 17. Still waiting for pitchers and adjust my money. Griffin Canning for $16 and Teheran for 14, we really had too much money and finding bargain pitchers was hard. I finally bought an SP with John Means for $10, I don't hate it but not what I had planned for. Mike Fiers went for $16 after Means so I didn't hate as much then.

    I needed some K's and with what I had going in my ratios were pretty good. I targeted Spencer Turnbull just for the K's, I got him for $7.

    I was now up to 6 pitchers, I wanted to get a good holds guy that would help in other categories. I targeted Tyler Duffey and got him for $6. I still needed 2 Of'ers and grabbed Alex Gordon for $9. Chris Davis at UT for $2 for pure power as I had a pretty nice BA cushion at this point. Grabbed Jacob Junis for $2 because well he is an SP with a job and not abysmal. Chad Pinder for $2 gives me some positional flexibility and he takes my last OF slot.

    I now needed some pitchers for rev. Grabbed Wittgren for $3 and hope he gets plenty of holds and can keep those ratios. Asher Wojciechowski for 1 because he is starting for a team and at this point, you need a few of those. Jake Diekman $1, could be good for holds. Patrick Sandoval 1, again a pitcher that should start and you need that. Chaz Roe 1, just hoping for holds and improved ratios.

    So what does this group look like...

    C Sanchez 10
    1b J Abreu 39
    2b S Long 5
    SS Dylan Moore 1 (Willi castro farm)
    3b Y Moncada 15
    CI Devers 15
    MI LeMahieu 13
    OF Rosario 28
    OF Gardner 15
    OF Gordon 9
    OF Margot 8
    OF Pinder 2
    UT Encarnacion 31
    UT C Davis 2

    P Glasnow 14
    P Boyd 14
    P Means 10
    P Turnbull 7
    P K Gibson 3
    P Hendriks 1
    P Bumemr 1
    P Duffey 6
    P Wittgren 3


    RSV J Junis 2
    RSV Diekman 1
    RSV P Sandoval 1
    RSV Wojciechowski 1
    RSV Roe 1

    Farm
    W Castro

        Thanks Keith! Didn't realize I bought 3 of the first 9 until I saw it here. There was not much "value" to be had but I generally do like to buy early if possible.

        Losing Betts is just the worst - no other way to put that. I still have you in the top half of the league but rate stats for Pitching will need to be managed as RotoLab has you with a 4.19 / 1.30 but know that isn't real as you'll stream and supplement with good MR innings. Still, it will take some in season maneuvering to trade for some more SP as I'm not sure a top-2 of Glasnow and Boyd would have me sleep well at night.

        On offense, I only see SB as a category weakness fwiw as I got you for 73 SBs (at least per current HQ projections which at this point are about as helpful as CBS). Like Gardner and thought about keeping him at $18 so good buy there imo. You topped me on Chris Davis but he's a why the hell not pick. And Gordon was another I was trying to get until it got "too rich" for me at $9

        Ryan's team is really good though so think we'll all be chasing him a bit as he has Robert & Hays who'll both be up Day 1.

          It sounds like a frustrating auction. Strong IF, underwhelming OF but they balance. Little speed and you need an ace as you are well aware. You do have plenty of talent to make trades happen. I do think you sent your money well with those crazy prices.

            Always interesting to compare projections. Rotowire has me at 3.90 and 1.20, my targets were 4.00 and 1.25. Now that has Asher, Wit, Roe, Diekman, and Sandoval on the bench so if I use them my ratios could take hits, hopefully I can play that game well. Pitching is tough with projections since we all stream and I agree mine is risky, I'll do my best to play the game and hang in.

            Now I subbed in Castro's projections for Moore's in my system and have myself at 86 SB's and my goal was 90. I usually look at 2-3 years and ballpark what I think gets me in the top 3 or 4 in a category. I like my offense and SB is the only one I didn't get over my target.

            Jesse and Ryan are who I have ahead then I have me and you. It will be fun if we get a season, thanks for the feedback.

              It was about as frustrating as I expected to be honest. Last year I came in loaded and just had to lean on a few categories and then got lucky with a few pickups so I cruised to a title. With Betts I thought I could push to repeat, but now I am just a top 1/3ish team that has a chance if I get lucky and a couple of the leaders struggle. I was happy with where I pushed my money in when I look back at all the prices.


              EDIT - Ok I still have to "optimize" the other 8 teams, but just doing my best to give the 4 of us the best pitching and hitting lineups my projections move a lot.

              Ryan 1st 98
              Rick 2nd 95.5
              Keith and Jesse tied for 3rd 86.5

              These will probably move more as I adjust other teams, but this does not account for any farm guys yet.

                I have to give you great credit for having the discipline to stick to your plan as well as you did. I tend to fly by the seat of my pants and just adjust by eyeballing the auction as we go along. It generally works out for me, but yesterday was somewhat of a train-wreck. As you've already mentioned, there was simply too much money in the room to begin the auction, which led to people (IMO) panic spending once they realized that there were simply no good buys left. You stuck to your guns for the most part, but still had to overspend to get players that you NEEDED to compete.

                I think that you may have kept 1 or 2 guys that you shouldn't have, but that's personal preference. I don't think that your farm guys will help this year, but you've always played the FAAB game well. I think that you have a better top to bottom team than most, so a money finish is in the cards.

                  Ok so I have tried to maximize all the team rosters and here is what I have at the top...

                  Ryan and Rick are at the top and now clearly the two best teams coming out of the auction without really digging into farm guys.

                  Me and Jesse are in the next tier but not far behind. I have Ryan and Rick in the low to mid 90's and me and Jesse in the mid 80's depending on how I move our lineups around.


                  After that it is a big glob from 63 points down to 46, but with the way we do pitching I don't think this can be accurate. To me all this tells me is going in I'd make Ryan and Rick the betting favorites and Jesse and I with realistic chances too. After that this tells me the next group will need a lot to break right if they don't have a lot of farm guys I haven't added.

                    Ryan has Luis Robert & Austin Hays so adding them will impact things as both will be Day 1 starters. He also holds the mega trade chip in Wander Franco. Tough.

                    I'm going to need Adell to hit the ground running and then hope that I get contributions from Mateo, Kirilloff & Manning (with long shot hopes for Lewis & Rooker). Basically I need MIN injuries it seems....

                      Fun time yesterday Keith, just wish the auction room wasn't so wonky.

                      Losing Betts was a tough blow and I commend you on sticking to your plan. This was the first time I've been in a positive position heading into the auction and it sure was a lot more fun than my usual going in position.

                      I have you more mid-pack coming in 6th with SB's as your weakness on offense and ERA/WHIP as your big problem on pitching. You got a great buy on Rosario and I thought about going in on him for the help in average.

                      Hopefully we get to see how this plays out.
