Had my AL roto auction today. very deep league (12 teams, 14 hitters, 9 pitchers), 4x4, up to 15 keepers. This year, there was about 10% extra $/player sloshing around after keepers and virtually nothing in the farm draft. for #$260, I think the balance is pretty good (kept - k; draft - d):
C - Gomes 2 (k), Norris 3 (k)
1b - Tex 11 (k), Fielder 31 (d)
2d Dozier 5 (k)
ss - Reyes (31 d), Jeter (6 d)
3b Middlebrooks (10 k)
OF - Adam Jones (36 k), Dyson (4 k), Choo (32 d), Gentry (3 d), Carp (1 d)
DH - Ibanez (2 d)
p - Kuroda (17 d), Salazar (7 k), Nova (3 k), Ubaldo (2 k), G. Richards (1 k), Crain (10 k), Fields (10 k), Nathan (26 d), Cecil (2 d).
Farm - Rondon (k), Cecchini (d), Karns (d)
Reserved Crain, picked up Britton.
Farm was really picked over, so I grabbed Karns with the last pick. Happiest with Fielder, Reyes, Nathan, Gentry of the draftees. Need Reyes and Gentry to get healthy fast. That happens, I've got a strong SB team, with decent average I think. I don't have the complete box on Houston's closer, but that looks pretty good and is on top of Nathan. Power is a concern unless Tex surprises (big doubts on that) and someone like Ibanez makes an impact.
