There was another team posted this weekend for the 2010 NL LABR from Dalton Del Don at Rotowire.com. Below is his team with my comments.

My first thought when looking at his team is wow, $16 for Placido Polanco, that is very expensive. It looks like he tried to limit risk for the most part as he rostered only one player over $30 in Chase Utley ($35). He is going to have to hope that Chipper and Troy Glaus play full seasons. With four holes in his offense with Bobby Crosby, Tony Gwynn Jr., Aaron Cunningham and Mat Gamel, losing Jones or Glaus for an extended period of time woudl wreck his offense.

He was able to land five starters in his rotation, although again, Santana and Oswalt have some injury risk to them. He grabbed a couple of handcuff closers in Motte, Storen and Dan Meyer so he should be able to squeeze 10-15 saves from that trio by the end of the year.

Check out more teams from the 2010 AL LABR Auction and the 2010 NL LABR Auction.

Every year in early March fantasy baseball “experts” from around the world gather in Arizona for the NL LABR (League of Alternative Baseball Reality) auction. Categories are 5 x 5 with 23 man rosters, including two catchers and 13 teams.

Here is a look at some of the results that have been posted in regards to National League teams.

Greg Ambrosius / Shawn Childs – NFBC

It looks like they have a similar problem to their AL team where there are going to be short four hitters to open the season, after drafting two catchers from the Houston Astros, Pedro Alvarez, Jermaine Dye (hard to see him signing in the NL) and Mike Jacobs (unless he wins the New York Mets first base job). In a NL only league, it is so crucial to get the most at bats in order to accumulate counting stats. If you check the at bat totals for the top three winners each year in an only format, the majority of the time those three teams will have led the league in at bats.

Pitching staff looks okay but just like their AL team, it looks like they will be chasing saves all season long.

Bob Radomski – Sandlot Shrink

He did a good job of getting players that should be getting at bats throughout the season outside of David Ross at catcher, but his team is short on steals. Has three solid starters and was able to roster two closers relatively cheaply although both might only hold onto the job for half the season.

Derek Carty – The Hardball Times

Mr. Carty is going to have a hard time defending his NL title based on his auction results. It looks like he is short on steals and has a tremendous amount of downside in batting average with Ian Stewart, the LaRoche’s, Nick Hundley and Elijah Dukes. Also was able to grab only two solid starting pitchers and went with a spaghetti approach to his reserve squad. Spaghetti as in throw a bunch of starting pitchers against the wall and hope a few are able to stick.

Perry Van Hook – Fantasy Baseball.com

I really like the squad that Perry was able to assemble getting a great deal on Pujols at $41 and getting steals from Castillo, Milledge, Jones and Heyward. He also got two great catchers which is always a plus in an only type format.
