Jon Stadtmueller Wins NFBC Ultimate Auction League

[Greg Ambrosius]

Congrats to Jon Stadtmueller of Little Rock, Arkansas for winning the $40,000 prize in the NFBC Ultimate Auction League. Jon won this title a couple of years ago thanks to a $1 final bid for Mike Trout, but he had to work even harder to win this year's title. Great job Jon.

Jon's Texas Connection team finished with 113 points to edge Ross Longood by 3.5 points. James Stanard finished third with 105 points, earning final league money by 1 point. Here's a look at the standings and the payouts:

Jon, you truly are an Auction savant. Maybe the least surprising win I've seen listed on these boards today. Congrats Bud.

Not a bad $4 spent on the trio of Tex, A-Rod and Moustakas. And that Adam Lind Reserve pickup wasn't bad.

Biggest FAAB pickup occurred on July 5th:
Texas Connection Steven Matz (SP) 426 375

Jarred Cosart on April 26th for $136 and Wade Davis in May were the other major pickups, but nothing else of note. Great initial draft Jon and another Ultimate Auction League title. Good stuff.
