Greg and Shawn's AL LABR League Roster

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, Shawn Childs and myself formed an NFBC team that battled 11 other industry owners in the AL LABR Auction League last night, including Fanball's own Mike Sheets. It was a lot of fun and there were a few surprises, but all in all it went well. Mr. Childs was aggressive early -- which is his nature -- and then we sat for about 90 minutes without getting a player!!! That last $21 had to be spread for our last 10 players!!



Okay, here's the roster. Have fun with it and then we'll discuss what happened and provide a few other player values. USA Today won't allow us to display all of the player values, but we can discuss our rosters. Here you go:
