We play in an 11-team NL-only league. Established league with relatively savvy owners. Weird unrelated circumstances have led to the unexpected dropping of 2 teams at the last minute. Freezes had already been submitted, and prior to losing these owners I had inflation calculated in the 10-15% range. I realize that inflation will come way down (likely close to zero)with these owners out and the available player pool expanded, but my concern is what happens at the auction. Do the top players become more valuable in this type of situation (similar to a mixed league auction), or should I plan on filling out my team in usual fashion with pricing adjusted for a 9-team league? Or, to ask another way, do I overpay now for studs with such an abundance of available talent?

Hey Mike,
An auction question if you have the time...

Hi Dr.
Due to the short notice, I'm cramming for Tout tonight, but I'll get to your question on Monday.
Mike, what do you think of the prices paid here? I read some comments about them on pattonandco which indicated some of them are pretty far out.
