I agree. Everything went smoothly and I had a great time. (Thanks again, Andy!) Really whetted my appetite to do more auctions. (Damn you, Andy ) Is it March yet?

Here's my team:

C: Wieters (10), Rupp (7)
1B: Votto (28)
2B: LeMahieu (17)
3B: Beltre (16)
SS: C. Seager (30)

RP: Osuna (17), G. Holland (3), A. Reed (2)

I'm still a newbie when it comes to auctions (this was only my second stab ever at the format), but I kind of like my team, I think, although there were lots decisions I wish I could take back. Wound up spending a lot more on pitching than I planned - got carried away a little in the beginning but tried to regroup and found a few bargains (I hope) towards the end. Interestingly (at least to me), my team is filled with players that I generally have not been taking in Draft Championship leagues. Just wound-up that way, I guess. Anyway, it was a ton of fun and great learning experience for me. Would definitely be up for another DC auction in February or early-March if the timing works.
