2012 Draft Prep: American League 5x5 auction

Scott White
  •  

A 12-team, AL-only Rotisserie league is about as deep as it gets in Fantasy, and as you might expect, the bidding behavior changes as a result.

Not a single player reached the $40 threshold in this auction. In fact, the elite players all went for less than you'd generally see in a mixed league. Did we get it backward? Not really. In mixed leagues, you can afford to take a studs-and-duds approach -- shelling out $45 and $50 for the best of the best and filling out the rest of your roster with $1 and $2 sleepers -- because you know that if those sleepers don't pan out, you'll still find plenty of fallback options on the waiver wire.

But in a league this deep, there are no fallback options. What you draft is what you get, which means you're better off not taking so many chances. The more evenly you spread your money, the better you'll be able to survive whatever misfortunes come your way over the 162-game grind.

As usual, the dollar values here don't necessarily match up with the rankings. Timing and shortages (either at a position or within a category) explain why Brett Gardner went for $28 while Josh Hamilton only went for only $24. In general, steals were in short supply in this auction, leading to inflated price tags for players like Gardner, B.J. Upton ($30), Alejandro De Aza ($17) and Ben Revere ($13).

Phillies promote Maikel Franco to Double-A
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:35 pm ET) The Phillies have promoted third base prospect Maikel Franco to Double-A Reading, Baseball America reports.

Franco, 20, dominated at high Class A Clearwater, where he hit .299/.349/.576 with 16 home runs in just 65 games. With the Phillies lacking an obvious long-term third baseman -- Michael Young is 36 years old and on an expiring contract -- Franco's stock will be worth watching closely as the Phillies look to fill the hot corner.


Jake Arrieta will work as starter in minors
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(1:30 pm ET) Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday pitcher Jake Arrieta will work as a starter at Triple-A Norfolk. Arrieta was optioned to Norfolk after losing in a spot start Monday against the Tigers.

"We constantly look at things with guys with really good arms like Jake," Showalter said, per The Baltimore Sun. "If he gets the ball down, he’s effective. How do you do it? Is it delivery? Is it a mentality? We’ve talked about all those things and we will continue. Let him get there. I know he’s going to start his next outing and at some point we will probably step back and see where we are with it. I want to get him back on good ground."


Padres to place Everth Cabrera on disabled list
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:11 pm ET) The Padres will place Everth Cabrera on the disabled list before Wednesday's game, MLB.com reports. Cabrera strained his hamstring in a stolen base attempt Sunday. It's unclear how long the speedy shortstop will be shut down, but a hamstring injury of any severity is concerning over the short and long term for any player so reliant on his speed.

Padres to recall Jaff Decker
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:06 pm ET) The Padres will recall outfielder Jaff Decker from Triple-A Tucson on Wednesday, MLB.com reports. Decker owns a .260/.379/.398 line with five home runs in 196 at-bats at Tucson. Expect the lefty to get at-bats off the bench and perhaps some starts against right-handed pitching.

Manager 'not ready' to increase Matt Tuiasosopo's PT
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:57 pm ET) While Tigers manager Jim Leyland continues to be impressed with the play of outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo, who is batting .333 and slugging .551 through 36 games, an increase in playing time isn't in Tuiasosopo's future.

"I’m not ready to do that just yet," Leyland said, per the Detroit Free Press. "If someone doesn’t get going, then you either play (Tuiasosopo) a little bit more or do something else, and I’m not talking about anyone in particular. That’s a situation with any player."


Fernando Martinez joining Yankees' Triple-A team
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:43 pm ET) Yankees outfielder Fernando Martinez, who was acquired in a Tuesday trade from the Astros, will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, according to The New York Times. Martinez has been toiling in the minors since being designated for assignment in early May.

Nick Franklin pushes batting average higher
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:39 pm ET) Mariners second baseman Nick Franklin extended his hitting streak to seven games Tuesday against the Angels with a 1-for-4 performance. Franklin is batting .370 (10 for 27) with one home run, one stolen base, three doubles, three RBI, three walks and three runs in his last seven games.

Franklin's batting average has gone from .250 to .296 during his recent seven-game surge.


Daniel Nava connects for 10th home run
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:34 pm ET) Red Sox outfielder Daniel Nava connected for his 10th home run in the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays. It was his third home run in June.

Nava is batting .297 (19 for 64) with three doubles, eight walks, 12 RBI and 13 runs in 16 June games. 


Bryce Harper to resume baseball activities in 'next day or two'
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(12:31 pm ET) Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper will resume baseball activities within the next day or twoThe Washington Post reports. Harper has been suffering from left knee bursitis since May 20.

There is still no timetable for his return to game action. He will still need a rehab assignment, so he's likely at least two weeks away from a return, if not longer.


Erick Aybar's RBI production on the rise
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:30 pm ET) Angels shortstop Erick Aybar collected two hits for the fourth time in six games and for the eighth time in June during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners. Aybar is batting .360 (9 for 25) in his last six games and .277 (18 for 65) in 16 June games.

Aybar also has seven RBI in his last six games after managing just two RBI in his previous 10 games.
