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).

David Freese returns in big way
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:21 am ET) Cardinals third baseman David Freese (thumb) returned to the starting lineup and made his presence felt in a big way Friday night against the Dodgers.

Freese doubled in a run in the second inning and launched his second home run of the season -- a two-run shot -- in the sixth inning. He finished 2 for 3 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in a 7-0 win.

Freese has recorded a hit in each of his last four games. He is hitting .400 (6 for 15) with two home runs and eight RBI over that span.

Chris Capuano hit hard vs. Cards
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:17 am ET) Dodgers starting pitcher Chris Capuano put his strained calf injury behind him as he made the start Friday night against St. Louis.

Capuano got hit hard as he allowed home runs to Allen Craig and David Freese. The left-hander was charged with six runs -- five earned -- and six hits over five innings of work as he suffered his third loss of the season. He struck out four and walked three.

Capuano has allowed five runs or more in all three of his losses this season. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday on the road against the Angels. He has a stellar 0.90 ERA through his 10 innings of work away from Dodger Stadium.

Lance Lynn Ks nine, keeps Dodgers in check
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:12 am ET) Cardinals starter Lance Lynn turned in a dominant performance as he struck out nine and picked up his seventh win of the season Friday night against the Dodgers.

Lynn (7-1), who made his 10th start of the season, fired six scoreless innings and allowed just two hits in a 7-0 victory. He issued one walk and threw 77 pitches, 53 called for strikes. His ERA improved from 3.27 to 2.95 after Friday's win.

Lynn is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at home against Kansas City. He is 4-0 with a 2.81 ERA in five starts at home this season.

Tim Lincecum loses again to Rockies
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:07 am ET) Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum endured a rough outing as he suffered his fourth loss of the season Friday night against the Rockies.

Lincecum (3-4), who made his 10th start of the season, gave up a two-run double to Michael Cuddyer in the first and a solo home run to Cuddyer in the sixth. The right-hander was charged with four runs and seven hits over seven innings. He struck out eight and walked two in a 5-0 loss.

Lincecum has allowed 10 runs over his last 12 innings of work -- all surrendered against the Rockies. He will try to bounce back Wednesday at home against Oakland. He is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA in his last five starts against the A's.

Tyler Chatwood wins third straight
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(1:02 am ET) Rockies pitcher Tyler Chatwood turned in a dominant performance as he picked up his third win of the season Friday night against the Giants.

Chatwood (3-0) fired six scoreless innings and gave up just four hits in a 5-0 win. He struck out four and walked one on 88 pitches. The 23-year-old has allowed just one run in his last two starts (11 2/3 innings) since being called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs to replace Jeff Francis in the rotation.

Chatwood is expected to make his next start Wednesday at home against the Astros.

Heath Bell secures save vs. former club
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:55 am ET) Diamondbacks reliever Heath Bell notched his seventh save of the season during Friday's contest against the Padres.

Bell worked his way around a leadoff bunt single and a walk as he retired the next three batters to secure a 5-2 victory. He has not allowed a run in his last three appearances since blowing his second save of the year on May 12.

Eric Stults hit hard vs. D-Backs
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

McCarthy (2-3), who made his 10th start of the season, gave up a run-scoring single to Yonder Alonso in the second for his only damage of the night. He was charged with one run and five hits over seven innings of work. He struck out two and walked two in a 5-2 win.

McCarthy has allowed just one run over his last two starts (16 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at Texas. He went 1-0 with a 3.65 ERA in two starts against the Rangers last season as a member of the A's.

Tom Koehler picks up no-decision
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:41 am ET) Marlins pitcher Tom Koehler turned in a solid performance but did not factor in the decision Friday night against the White Sox.

Koehler pitched four scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the fifth and a run-scoring single to Paul Konerko in the sixth. He was also struck by a line drive on the back of his shoulder in the third, but stayed in the game. He was charged with three runs and six hits over six innings of work. He struck out three and walked one in a 4-3 defeat in extras.

Koehler has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his first three starts. He is expected to make his next start Wednesday at home against Tampa Bay. He is 0-1 with a 0.90 ERA through his first 10 innings of work at home.

Jerry Hairston goes hitless in rehab opener
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:34 am ET) Dodgers infielder Jerry Hairston (groin, knee) began his minor-league rehab assignment Friday night at Class A Rancho Cucamonga.

Hairston had an uneventful night as he finished 0 for 3 in his first game action since being placed on the disabled list May 6. The Dodgers have not issued a concrete timetable for his return.
