For those of you auctioning later today or sometime next weekend, I thought I'd throw my league's prices out there. Inflation was about 28% overall, with 23% on the hitting side and 40% on the pitching side. 12 team, A.L.-only, 4x4, $260 salary cap, 14 hitters, nine pitchers.
Each team froze 10 players on average.

Good God, it's a miracle you guys keep anybody at those prices...one auction yesterday, one next week. yesterday 3 yr old lg, next wk 20 yr old league. Both WAY undervalue closers. BTW, in the "immature" league yesterday had THREE other teams go 200 hitting, 60 pitching besides me. Result-we all got 10-11 FT players, some stars/scrubs, some balanced...weird. Guarantee at least one other team (the defending champions who won with LIMA last year, literally nine dollars, only team to ever pull it off) will do the same...need a corollary.
Mike, as you noted, a couple of good freeze lists in addition to mine, but no explanation for what happened. Inflation at beginning, inflation at middle and inflation at end. No time now to go into details, but N. Cruz went to me for $25, and Choo to $20 (where Markakis frozen for $18 bound to happen I think). Kinsler went to $46 and Jeter at $20 to the guy who froze Casilla, Lowrie for 7 total. Go figure (am guessing he plans to play make some trades). I will see if my pitching can keep me afloat: Danks 22, Wang 13, Purcey 7, Soria 20(f), Lirano 10(f), Slowey 7 (f), Percival 14, Masterson 2 (f), Harrison 1. If wondering if I bought Percy insurance, could not outbid the guys who paid 6 for Balfour and Wheeler. Did get Izzy in reserve draft (we go 17 deep in that, I am counting on seeing D. Huff and D. Holland some time this year). Oh, and yes, Sizemore went big, $51.
