It's now March 24th and the players are almost loose, umps have almost got their chops warmed up, and we are rapidly approaching the 2008 season. All that’s left of spring training is a few more exhibitions, and the final stretching and strategizing for another long season ahead. Here are the latest Average Auction Values (AAVs) taken from auctions hosted on FantasyAuctioneer.com and CBSSports.com so far this season. As always, we encourage you to come up with your own values for players on this list, and see who you can get at a bargain price.
These are the top 300 AAV's (plus ties) for a 12-team, mixed league, 5x5 Rotisserie format, with 23-man starting rosters and a $260 Salary cap. Anyone not on this list is, on average, a $1 player.
