How to use CVRC in my AL auction
Posted: March 23rd, 2010, 7:16 am
This is an annual issue and I have yet to figure it out.
MY AL auctions are going up the next two weekends. We draft nine pitchers with no bench. No draft 'em, you play 'em. Not normal these day but more so in the past. Only DL'ed players can be put on reserves. This is a 10 team league. Four of the five standard categories with IP replacing Ks. There is also a relatively high minimum inning requirement of 1100. One or two teams will not draft closers. MRs go real cheap. Potential closers-in-waiting will go for no more than $3. Essentially of the 90 pitchers taken, no more than 25 will be non-starters. The other 65 will be starters or SP6. A quick count shows 70 SP1-SP5.
It is easy to replace the K-column with the IP-column. The problem is the auction dollar impact that all these "never going to be drafted" MRs have on the list of the top 90 and the replacement values used. I've tried reducing the dollars for pitchers by what I estimate will be spent on closers/closers-in-waiting and then assume 70 total SPs are going to be drafted. But I also need to reduce the pool of players by closers and closers-in-waiting. This makes a small pool which has trouble in CVRC. It is hard to do all things. It may be an impossible task - like touching your right elbow with your right hand.
Any thoughts
