MLB Free Agency: The Game
It is that time of year where there is nothing going on but speculation. As we wait for players to sign and teams to trade, the days go by with not much to do to help us pass the time.
2 Early Mock Drafts ADP: 2019
For the last four years I have run an industry mock draft during the month of September/October. It has been a fun exercise that suits multiple purposes.
- It is an early look at what the industry feels about the next season, especially because most people don’t have ranks or projections prepared to rely on.
- September can be a hard month to come up with things to talk/write about.
- I am a masochist.
This year I decided to turn it up a notch. I started nine separate mock drafts including over 100 different people including industry analysts and a few regular Joes that are fantasy baseball crazy. The mock drafts were all 12-team leagues with one catcher spots. Unfortunately, we were unaware that the software would lock us out when the season ended and that prevented all of them from finishing. However, Leagues 1 and 2 were almost completed and every mock got through at least 155 picks. Thanks to Smada for compiling the ADP and marking all the auto picks (for shame!)
