This mock draft was held on February 15 with a ten-team, non keeper, NL only league with standard 5×5 roto scoring (avg, r, hr, rbi, sb; w, sv, k, era, whip) in mind. Active lineups would include one player at each position (three outfielders) as well as a utility hitter (with all hitters qualifying), along with 7 pitchers, regardless of whether they are starters or relievers. Bench players could be filled with players of any position. Daily roster changes were assumed as well as a limit of 162 games per hitting slot and 1450 innings pitched.
Randy Johnson was the obvious number one pick here, but things soon got very interesting, as Greg Maddux went second and Vladimir Guerrero slipped to fourth. Several more surprises followed, such as Shawn Chacon being taken in the 9th round, Kevin Brown in the round 10 and Barry Larkin remaining undrafted. The difference in strategic thinking between an NL-only draft and a mixed league certainly showed.
The players chosen in the draft’s twenty-three rounds are listed below. Hopefully, this list will help you plan for your own fantasy drafts.
