ROTISSERIE: 2019 LABR NL auction recap
Mar 6 2019
This short column is about my LABR-NL auction plan, why I do it, how it works, and what went wrong.
Last season, I tried to curve away from my usual $230 on hitting and $30 on pitching plan. I spent around $200 on hitting and $60 on pitching, had injuries, and ended up without enough hitting and finished in the bottom half. The reason $230/30 works okay for LABR is that you get a whopping six(!) reserve slots, but you are restricted in their use. Only original reserve or minors players can occupy those slots. You cannot store a slumping player there. Or wait all season for a call-up from there. And in NL-only 12-team leagues, at-bats are at a premium. There is no DH, so the at-bats pool is smaller than in the AL. Catchers are terrible...
