I’m in an 10 team auction, 4 keeper league. 4 of the top 10 pitchers are kept and 15 of the top 30. So what would you expect the price of pitching (again auction league) to be? Only 2 teams have have 0 SP keeper and there are 2 with 3 and 2 with 2. Would scarcity bring the price way up or since many teams have 1 to 3 top starters kept, the price should be less than expected?
