Fantasy baseball is just around the corner. Pitchers and catchers have reported. Spring training is almost in full swing. Many of us are getting ready for our drafts. Mock drafts are a valuable tool to see where guys you may target in your drafts are going. Should I take Felix Hernandez now in round eight or will he get back to me in round nine? How early is Pedro Martinez going if I’m wanting to grab him in the late, late rounds? A group of twelve dedicated fantasy players completed a mock draft not long ago to help you answer some of these questions.
Below you will find the results of our mock draft. The league settings are standard redraft Yahoo settings:
Hitting: runs, RBI’s, home runs, stolen bases, and batting average
Pitching: wins, saves, strikeouts, ERA, and WHIP ([Walks+Hits]/Innings Pitched)
Positions: catcher, first base, second base, third base, shortstop, three outfielders, one utility spot (any hitter), two starting pitchers, two relief pitchers, three pitcher spots (any pitcher), and five bench spots.
