Honest fact: The LABR AL Auction was the first time where Shawn and I vehemently disagreed on our auction strategy. I thought we were on the same page heading into the auction, but Shawn went off the rails (I thought)
when he bid $30 for Yu Darvish and then $30 on Chris Sale right after that. We had $60 on two starting pitchers and very little money to fill in that staff. Shawn liked it but I wasn't in favor of the plan.
We had $30 for our last 13 picks and some teams actually were done before we could fill in those last 13 picks. Shawn felt we filled in okay, but we definitely were riled on SiriusXM for this overly aggressive plan and projected results were not favorable to us. We'll have to see how this works out and I hope Shawn is right, but we didn't see eye to eye on this team. We kissed and made up, but I'm dubious about this team.
Take a look at it and let us know what you think:
C - Yan Gomes $6
C - Alex Avila $1
1B - Miguel Cabrera $34
2B - Brett Lawrie $2
SS - Carlos Correa $37
3B - Yoan Moncada $14
MI - Chad Pinder $2
CI - Albert Pujols $17
UT - Yonder Alonso $3
OF - Jose Bautista $21
OF - Mark Trumbo $23
OF - Carlos Gomez $18
OF - Matt Joyce $6
OF - Billy Burns $1
P - Yu Darvish $30
P - Chris Sale $30
P - Lucas Giolito $4
P - Jose Berrios $4
P - CC Sabathia $2
P - Reynoldo Lopez $1
P - Tyson Ross $2
P - Michael Feliz $1
P - Jonathan Papelbon $1
Reserves:
James Shields, Marwin Gonzalez, Jason Vargas, Mike Cleavenger, Joey Rickard
We punted saves and still had a tough time filling out the rotation. However, this is a trading league and we have so much power that we think trading will be important for us during the year. WE need Moncada and Giolito to come through for us, but this roster is still a work in progress. Does it have any hope? Let's see your feedback. Thanks all.
I've learned through the years to give Shawn the reins and get the hell out of the way!
