2010 Mixed Tout Wars Results

Posted by Todd Lammi on March 29th, 2010

The 2010 Mixed Tout Wars auction was held this past weekend in New York City. Tout Wars is fantasy baseball’s battle of the experts and winning one of the Tout Wars leagues is one of the more prestigious titles in fantasy baseball.

Here is a look at the 2010 Mixed Tout Wars results, the participants and their teams with my comments added.

Andy Behrens – Yahoo

Pick I liked:  Jose Reyes at $21. At less than 1/2 the price of Hanley Ramirez at $45, I think that is a risk worth taking.

Pick I disliked:  Taking three closers at $15+ each. I assume is going to be looking to trade a closer for a starting pitcher after he builds up a lead in saves.

Derek Carty -The Hardball Times

Pick I liked:  Justin Duchscherer at $1. Definitely worth a buck, even if he makes only 20 starts this year.

Pick I disliked:  Takashi Saito at $13. Unless he knows about an injury that Billy Wagner is hiding….what in the world? Since it was his last pitcher taken, I will assume he had extra money left and no more players to buy.

Alex Cushing -MLB.com

Pick I liked:  Jimmy Rollins at $27 was a few dollars under what he should have gone for.

Pick I disliked:  Phil Hughes at $9. As a fifth starter in the American League East, $9 was just too expensive with cheaper alternatives that were better on the board.

Doug Dennis – Baseball HQ

Pick I liked:  Jason Werth at $22 looks like a good buy compared to some of the other prices paid for outfielders.

Pick I disliked:  He spent a total of $14 on his pitching staff, will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Nando DiFino – The Wall Street Journal

Steve Gardner – USA Today

Pick I liked:  Chone Figgins at $14. That is an absolute steal at that price, plus the added flexibility he will offer at second base or third base. He was able to pick up quite a few decent hitters at cheap prices.

Pick I disliked:  None that I can see, it looks like he has a really solid team all around.

Dave Gonos – Opensports.com

Pick I liked:  Alfonso Soriano at $10. Another player that is falling in drafts, but worth the $10 investment even if he doesn’t steal 20 bases again.

Pick I disliked:  Ryan Howard at $42. He went for the same price as Alex Rodriguez which puts Howard $3-$4 higher than what he should have gone for.

Eric Karabell – ESPN

Pick I liked:  Garrett Jones at $9.

Pick I disliked:  Jorge Posada at $15. I think there were several better catchers than Posada that went a dollar or two below him.

J.P. Kastner -Mastersball

Pick I liked:  Colby Rasmus at $7. Has good upside and and a good place in the batting order.

Eric Mack – CBS Sports.com

Pick I liked:  Matt Cain at $12. Cain was a good buy as he went for several dollars less than pitchers ranked below him.

Paul Petera – Baseball HQ

Pick I liked: Josh Johnson at $15. A very good price to pay for an upper echelon starter.

Pick I liked:  Carlos Gonzalez at $10. All I can say is WOW!!

Perry Van Hook – Fantasybaseball.com

Pick I liked:  Adam Jones at $14. A good buy at that price as his dollar tag should have been in the high teens.

Charlie Wiegert – Fanball

Pick I liked:  Andrew McCutchen at $17. A good price to pay for a guy that should have gone over $20.

Pick I disliked:  Juan Pierre at $16. Because he spent so much on his pitching staff, he should have worked harder to find cheaper alternatives on offense like a Nyjer Morgan at $10.
