Following the single-season and keeper mock drafts, both of which used a serpentine format, several folks decided to try something new: the very first slow mock auction at the Cafe. The drafters had varying degrees of fantasy experience, and for most this was the first auction ever. As a result, some of the bids aren’t quite in line with what you might expect, with the prices for A-list stars reaching extremely high levels. This certainly isn’t a typical auction, but the results are nonetheless extremely useful – both as an indication of what can happen if several owners decide to use a stars and scrubs strategy, overpaying for top talent and looking for bargains to fill out their rosters, and as a reminder that in an auction format, anything can happen…
Full results can be found below, from high-priced superstars to several fantastic $1 or $2 bargains. For details and discussion of this auction, please visit the Auction Forum.
