But, like, the, the way you've run your teams, the success of your teams, how do you think they vary between the two at all, if at all?
8:15
Um, I'm trying to think through that.
8:17
It's, it's a little...
8:19
I can't say that I'm successful overall in the auction [chuckles] championship format yet.
8:24
Um, of course, had a, had a good team, and, um, one of my other two teams is good.
8:29
One of them is kind of just mediocre.
8:31
So I fully credit luck to, um, some of the success.

what do you what have you noticed about doing these auctions this year compared to your normal snake drafts on like how you've I guess I know building your teams obviously definitely different because you can kind of pick what you want to do it like the the way you've run your teams the success of your teams how do you think they vary between the two

at all if at all I'm trying to think through that it's it's a little I can't say that I'm successful overall in the auction championship format yet.

Of course, had a good team, and one of my other two teams is good.

You just have to get the right players, hit on the right guys, and have them stay healthy for the most part.
10:11
But I do think the auction format gives you a chance to – Experiment with your rosters.

got

Mm-hmm.
30:19
Um, you know, what the batting average is.
30:21
You can't, you can't read much into that.
30:23
But if you look at the minor league skills, I love seeing power and speed together.
30:29
Um, if there's no power, there has to be batting average and speed.
30:32
Um, if there's no speed, there has to be power [laughs] that you really believe in.
30:37
So just, just looking at that and thinking about how it fits on your team needs, because there's no point in spending big on somebody if you're doing great in home runs but not in speed, and that's, uh, you know, the guy won't steal any bases for you.
