Every year, fantasy analysts from around the country gather for a collection of leagues called Tout Wars. This year was the 27th season of Tout Wars. This year, I was in the 15-team mixed auction league where I finished second last season, losing the lead on the last day to Bret Sayre of Baseball Prospectus.
As of this weekend, all TGFBI leagues have completed drafting! We can now see the complete ADP from the largest industry fantasy baseball contest ever with 420 participants in 28 leagues! For a look at the complete ADP from all the leagues as well as individual draft boards, click here.
As we hit the beginning of draft season, it is important to monitor where players are being drafted on a regular basis. Throughout draft season, I will be doing that work for you with regular updates on the Average Draft Position on NFBC up until Opening Day. You can read all the Market Reports here.

Second base has been one of the thinner positions in baseball over the last couple of seasons in a large part because so many of the players are eligible at other positions. However, this year isn’t as bad as it has been previously with a number of older bounce-backs and young breakouts adding to the depth of the position.
The thing to be careful to keep track of at the position are the runs and drop-offs. There are only four elite options and they are all going in the top 40 picks. The top 15 second basemen by ADP are gone by pick 160. There are some really interesting sleeper picks, especially for those in shallower formats, but for those in deeper formats it becomes very thin in the later rounds of the draft.
