Keepers bolded. Inflation was 13% for hitting and 18% pitching. We added 2 expansion teams this year so I wasn't sure quite what to expect. Pitchers consistently went for more than my inflation-adjusted values. I targeted Shark 21 (27) and Smyly 17 (20) as guys I wanted. Then Quintana 14 (21) Tillman 13 (17) went for more than I was willing to pay. I figured I could find some bargains in the end game but clogged my roster with Zito and Volquez.
A sampling of pitching values:
Felix 42 Price 35 Kluber 33 Gray 25 Anibal 23 Cobb 23 Ventura 21 Weaver 18 Archer 18 Walker 16 Kazmir 15 Porcello 15 Gausman 15 Salazar 14 Hahn 13 Masterson 9
Street 26 Feliz 21 - last 2 closers
Wow, still looks crazy to me.
Phegley 1 Alfaro 1
EE 32 Kinsler 19 Santana 28 Reyes 27 Weeks 2 GJones 2
Bautista 25 Castillo 8 Davis 15 Zobrist 22 Calhoun 26 Ruggiano 2

B Appel 10 Fien 10 Meyer 5 Medlen 5 Tazawa 2 Lavarnway 2 Escobar 1 Fujikawa 1
I went heavy on arms in the reserve round. Lets hear it.
