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.

1. 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.
2. September can be a hard month to come up with things to talk/write about.
3. 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!)

Big apologies for taking the last few days off. Been dealing with some health issues, but am now off the DL and looking forward to only pinch running and playing defense.

Could you Imagine if there were Bat Cats? That would be a disaster and a really dirty batters box.
