For this auction we are going to deconstruct four great 100+ win teams from the last 20 years to create 3 new teams! Usually the number of real teams is the same as the number of Sim teams, but I was curious to see how adding an extra team would affect the bidding, let’s find […]

1906 Chicago Cubs and 1927 New York Yankees Auction
For this auction we will deconstruct two of the most dominant teams in baseball history, the 1906 Cubs and the 1927 Yankees! What will make this auction interesting is that these two teams were dominant in completely different ways. The Cubs were triumphant with pitching and of course the Ruth & Gehrig led Yankees dominated […]
1965 San Francisco Giants and 1976 Cincinnati Reds Auction
Our next auction will highlight some of the best seasons from three iconic Hall Of Famers – Juan Marichal, Willie Mays & Joe Morgan. In my opinion, the position that requires the most specialized skill of any sport is that of the pitcher, it is also the position that allows the athlete to develop his […]
1941 Red Sox and 1999 Red Sox APBA Auction
When selecting teams for Sim Auctions you want to incorporate great teams or great individuals seasons. For this auction we’ve chosen the 1941 Red Sox and the 1999 Red Sox. The teams themselves were not dominant, although they were good teams (the 1941 team won 84 games and the 1999 team won 94 games), the […]

For our next APBA Sim Auction we deconstruct and re-assemble four great Chicago Cubs teams of the past – 1969,1984,1998,2016.

Los Angeles Angels APBA Auction – 1979,1986,2002,2014
What would happen if you took the players from four great Angels teams of the past (1979,1986,2002,2014) and made them all free agents, then conducted an auction to create four brand new teams? Who would build the best team? Let’s find out! Although the team has had an identity crisis over the years, never quite […]
1978 New York Yankees & 1985 New York Mets APBA Auction
One of the reasons I started playing Fantasy/Rotisserie Baseball back in 1989 was to try to extricate myself from the dysfunctional relationship that is being a fan of a professional sports team. Most kids become fans of a team because someone in their family was a fan (father, uncle, brother, etc.) – that didn’t happen […]
1968 Detroit Tigers & 1968 St.Louis Cardinals APBA Auction
For those of you who lament the current usage of starting pitchers (or should I say lack of usage) – this auction is for you. I obviously love analytics and interpreting numbers or else I would not be involved in these auction projects, but the reality is that strict adherence to what the numbers say […]
1998 New York Yankees & 1998 St.Louis Cardinals APBA Auction
When deciding what teams to select for the Sim Auctions the two main considerations are likely to be: 1. Choosing a great historical team full of talented players 2. Choosing a team that did not perform at the highest level, but had one or two players with legendary seasons. The year 1998 fulfilled both criteria. […]
2019 Los Angeles Dodgers & 2019 Atlanta Braves APBA Auction
What would happen if you disbanded the 2019 Dodgers & Braves and from that pool of players, two intrepid baseball sim owners decided to conduct a Fantasy/Rotisserie style auction to create two new teams? Well that’s exactly what me and a friend decided to do. For those of you unfamiliar with Fantasy Baseball auctions, unlike […]
