My twelfth chance to compete in the League of Alternative Baseball Reality was an online experience. The software experience worked well, but the timer to nominate pick was too long (one minute), leading to a six-hour event. So it’s time to reflect over the American League roster and give some insight on my decisions within the auction and the pre-game prep work.
Foundation Game Plan
Heading into this year’s LABR AL auction, my plan targeted many young players with upside. I wanted to make sure I had enough speed leaving the draft table while also securing strength at the front of my starting rotation. On my cheat sheet, I had SS Bobby Witt and SS Wander Franco both listed for $24, and Javier Baez was the target at second base for $28.
