First time doing an AL league after many years of NL. I inherited a pretty good team with a very good minor league system. The auction... I got most of what I wanted which is impressive given that I left $19 on the table. Sigh.
10-team AL-only 5x5 using AVG. Decent inflation - Stanton went for $48. Keepers in bold.
C: Vazquez $1, Martin $5
1B: Encarnacion $33
2B: Gordon $34
3B: Gallo $12
SS: Bogaerts $20
CI: Chapman $9
MI: Polanco $9 (sigh, that news couldn't have come a day or two earlier? fortunately I used a reserve pick on a decent replacement)
OF: Benintendi $5, Mazara $10, Chisenhall $9, Soler $7, Granderson $5
UT: Morales $3
Reserves: Guerrero Jr, Chavis, Adell, Alford, Jesus Sanchez, Dustin Fowler, Brad Miller (will replace Polanco), AJ Reed, Orlando, Ichiro
SP: Verlander $20, Snell $6, Porcello $2, Ervin Santana $8, Shoemaker $5, Junis $3
RP: Kimbrel $24, Treinen $5, Robertson $6
Reserves: Whitley, Jaime Garcia (will replace Santana), Andriese, JC Ramirez, Adalberto Mejia, Justus Sheffield, Gonsalves
Obviously it'd be a little better with Chisenhall replaced with some $20-25 outfielder, which in this auction was Piscotty or Grichuk range, but I'll survive. I actually had Gordon valued higher than what he went at.
btw, trying not to be biased by a hot spring training, but I think Soler is going to have a big year with Bonifacio suspended for half the season and the Royals really having nobody else to use.
