The AL LABR auction took place at the Arizona Republic headquarters in Phoenix Saturday night. It's a 12-team AL-only 5 x 5 league. Here are the results. My squad is below:
| Pos | Player | $ | Comment |
| C | Joe Mauer | 19 | Targeting batting average - thought he would go low-20s |
| C | Victor Martinez | 19 | See Mauer above - too cheap |
| 1B | Justin Morneau | 18 | More than I though he'd cost, but see him as the pre-injury version now |
| 2B | Jurikson Profar | 9 | Was willing to go to 9, many avenues to playing time |
| 3B | Pedro Ciriaco | 2 | Last player bought - upset Scott Sizemore went for 3 |
| SS | Derek Jeter | 17 | Good price, but almost got him for 15 which would have been a steal |
| CI | Paul Konerko | 19 | Not a target, but too much value here |
| MI | Jed Lowrie | 11 | Value buy - expect him to see 450 productive at-bats |
| OF | Will Myers | 8 | No real obstacles to playing time if he's ready |
| OF | Josh Reddick | 17 | Pure value buy - no interest in him but thought he'd be low 20s |
| OF | Michael Saunders | 15 | Thought it was value at the time, but regret this given how it affected rest of draft |
| OF | Lorenzo Cain | 15 | Needed speed, thought the price was right |
| OF | Jarrod Dyson | 7 | Speed and Cain insurance |
| U | David Ortiz | 16 | Price enforce and power buy. If he plays in April and stays healthy, should earn $20-$25 easily |
| P | C.C. Sabathia | 22 | Good bargain for a rock-solid SP |
| P | Jake Peavy | 13 | Thought he'd be $17-$18 at least |
| P | Mariano Rivera | 18 | Full price, but can't lose the job unless he gets hurt |
| P | Phil Hughes | 4 | Peripherals were great besides HR, and Yanks OF defense got a lot better |
| P | Brian Matusz | 3 | Bullpen dominance might give him confidence to start |
| P | Zach Britton | 2 | In the mix to start and ground-ball skills a good fit for AL East |
| P | Miguel Gonzalez | 2 | Very steady down the stretch - in the mix |
| P | Junichi Tazawa | 2 | Elite peripherals, Hanrahan is shaky, Bailey injury prone |
| P | Jared Burton | 2 | Back-up closer in MIN |
| R | Zach McAllister | R | Peripherals pretty solid except for home runs; should get better |
| R | James Paxton | R | Good prospect, could see rotation at any point |
| R | Brad Lincoln | R | Good pedigree, could start - maybe even close at some point |
| R | Roberto Hernandez | R | If the Rays can fix Rodney, why not TAFKA Fausto Carmona |
| R | John Ely | R | Great AAA peripherals, could easily carve out a role with Astros |
| R | Nate Freiman | R | Good high-minors numbers, and Astros lineup a free-for-all |
