American League Auction Dollar Values – Hitters

Posted by Todd Lammi on March 3rd, 2010

Here is a look at the American League auction dollar values for hitters for the 2010 fantasy baseball season. These values are based on a 12 team league with 14 hitters (includes two catchers) using the standard 5 x 5 categories and a $260 budget per team. I used a 70%-30% split for hitting and pitching so the total hitter pool is 168 players for a total of $2,184.

The dollar values are a blended mix of what I think the player will earn mixed with what I think the player will go for at an actual auction. So you will notice that some of the player rankings are different then my 2010 fantasy baseball rankings, but the dollar values will give you a good idea of pricing so you are not surprised when the real auction rolls around. Especially if this is the first season you are participating in a fantasy baseball auction league.
