Well — it was ridiculously long (draft took 6 hours). It is a 20 team H2H league, standard scoring. $260 to draft with.
I had a strategy going into the draft, but it was crazy the bidding going on when the draft started. Guys like Sale and Scherzer were going for 65-70. I tried waiting out the first wave of monster spending — I spent 49 on my top two guys (Nola and Harper)
Here is what I ended up with.
C - Jansen
1B - Tyler White/CJ Cron
2B - Gurriel Jr
SS - Segura
3B - Candelario/Sano
OF - Bryce Harper
OF - Braun
OF - Eloy Jiminez
OF - Christin Stewart (we only start 3 OF)
SP - Aaron Nola
SP - Strasburg
SP - German Marquez
SP - Julio Teheran
SP - Dallas Kuechel
SP - Michael Fulmer
RP - Edwin Diaz
RP - Craig Kimbrel
Overall — I don’t think I did too bad for my first auction draft, but missed out on a lot of guys I wanted on offense.
Got some bargains on guys who have yet to sign with a team, like Kimbrel. Top closers were going for 28-30. I got Kimbrel for 11.
Missed out on so many first basemen, but was happy to get both Cron and White for a dollar.
I wanted to come out of the draft with a solid Pitching staff and RP’s. Would have done a few things different, but overall I’m fine with it being my first auction. Need Kimbrel and Keuchel to sign soon though
