The LABR AL-only league held their auction draft last night and here is a link to the results.
Auction results of note:
Brett Lawrie - $28
Yu Darvish - $18
Yoenis Cespedes - $15
Joe Mauer - $20
Albert Pujols - $41
Prince Fielder - $32
Mike Trout - $8
Carl Crawford - $23
Dustin Ackley -$19
Jason Kipnis - $19
Jesus Montero - $18 - at utility, not catcher
Manny Ramirez - $3
Some thoughts after the jump:
Lawrie's $28 bid was the 3rd highest among third baseman behind only Evan Longoria ($33) and Adrian Beltre ($29). Matt Wieters went for $22 in the auction, behind only Carlos Santana who went for $24. Wieters is closing the gap between himself and Santana for top AL catcher.
Rays starter Matt Moore was auctioned at $20, which was the 9th highest among starting pitchers. Here are the starters who had higher auction prices:
Justin Verlander -$29
Felix Hernandez - $27
CC Sabathia - $27
Dan Haren -$27
David Price - $27
Jon Lester - $24
Jered Weaver - $23
C.J. Wilson - $23
Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera went for $40 in the auction, one dollar behind Albert Pujols, making Pujols the player with the highest auction day price. Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez went for $36 and Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer went for $25.
