Fun With Average Auction Values

[Yah Mule]

As promised, once we surpassed three auctions, AAV became available. We now have four completed auctions, and will have another by the time you read this post. The results are interesting, to me anyway. The first thing that surprised me was the relative lack of consensus even with this exceedingly small sample size. I wanted to see who the first player was who went for the same price in all four auctions. To my surprise, outside of the $1 players, only two guys fit this description and you had to go down to the 229th highest AAV to find the first one. Hunter Dozier was sold for $3, $3, $3 and three dollars during his four times on the block. Starlin Castro was the only player out of 46 with a $2 AAV who cost two dollars in all four auctions.

Some wide disparities in low/high bids:

Mookie: 39/46
Clevinger: 28/35
Harper: 30/38
JD Martinez: 29/36
Stanton: 19/27
Bichette: 18/27
Ozuna: 19/27
NCruz: 18/27
Sano: 11/30
Paxton: 9/21
Castellanos: 13/20
Donaldson: 11/23
Benintendi: 11/19
Encarnacion: 8/17
Eaton: 4/11
Kela: 2/15
Avasail: 3/10
Akiyama: 1/6
Adell: 1/6
VReyes: 1/6

Some fairly polarizing players on here - I personally hate three as roto players - which explains some of the gaps in valuations.

I was in the draft when Sano went for 30. The guy had too much money left and too few hitters and someone bid him up mercilessly.

Not sure what happened with Donaldson. I think Marc Winokur released an odorless, colorless gas into the auction room when the bidding hit 10 bucks.

Paxton numbers pre- and post-injury announcement? He went for $5 last night

Where do you find AAV? When I filter ADP for AAV, I get "No ADP Available".

Filter to 15 teams. Idk why, but aav only appears when you do.

However, if you would like a google sheets view broken down draft by draft, position by position you can check out my link. Ill be updating it later today. Theres only so much I can do on my phone at work. I really need a laptop at home.
