It’s never too early to start looking toward the upcoming season. Right after the World Series, twelve of our forum regulars began a slow mock draft, one of several we’ll be holding during the offseason. Alex Rodriguez was chosen first; Corey Koskie went last. In between, all sorts of interesting things happened, including a fierce closer run that caught some drafters by surprise.
A complete list of players chosen can be found below. The individual drafters’ preferences and team needs obviously play a role in their respective picks, and a player’s rank might therefore vary from what you might expect from a cheat sheet compiled outside of actual draft conditions. For complete details and discussion of the season’s first mock draft, please visit the Mock Draft Forum.
