RotoGraphs Reader Mock Draft
A few users (especially Oliver) expressed some interest in doing a RotoGraphs Reader Mock Draft, and we love the idea. Please use this post as a meeting point to figure out the draft, its’ details, and to post the results. If it’s okay with you, the RotoGraphs team will (politely) discuss the results once the draft is concluded. We think you guys are well-informed and among the best fantasy players on the interwebs, so this makes a whole grip of sense.

I’d like to participate in this – gregwellemeyer {at} hotmail [dot] com

I’d be up for one: bobnerns [at] yahoo [dot] com
Love it! I’m in!
I’d definately be interested as well – garrettwhite23 (at) gmail (dot) com – always down to do some mock drafting!
Although it would probably help my case to spell definitely correctly. 🙂

That’d be fun. I’m in. drewcorb@gmail.com
shoot should I have done (at) and (dot)? Am I going to get spammed now?
Gmail is pretty good at annihilating spam. At worst, you’ll have a harder time finding emails that end up in your spam folder but don’t belong there.
I’m totally going to spam you. Hope you like penis pills.
No way will I fall for that one. I remember what happened the last time I ordered penis pills on the internet…

I would like to participate. mamaxmax@yahoo.com
Probably should have mentioned that I’m happy to organize/set up the mock on MDC
yeah this sounds great, tvators@gmail.com, hate mocks where they are 1/2 full and therest drops outa after 4/5 rounds, they are useless.
Id def be interested in participating.
markmiller13. At. Gmail dot com
I am interested in participating….
stevebergtexas@gmail.com
I would like to participate too if theres room left, maxirose2(at)hotmail(dot)com
I’d happily participate in a mock so I could then be mocked by RotoG.

Hey guys, I was originally the one who proposed the idea, but I can’t seem to create a new draft–I’m a premium member but I’m having technical troubles. Is anyone else a premium member that can create the draft?
thanks!
looks like i’m late! good luck all!
Hey Oliver – if you see this, let me know ASAP if 6 pm tomorrow works for you. Emails from interested parties are starting to flow in and I’d like to include you.
I’m going to let y’all suss this out, and maybe there will be two of them it looks like. why not? Hopefully, though, Oliver gets in on this since he started this whole thing.
I would love to participate as well. obviously there isnt room in the first draft, but if someone organizes a second one I would be interested.

I would be interested in participating. Turon.Caine(at)gmail(dot)com
Would definitely love to do a mock. nilsferm (at) gmail (dot) com
I”m interested in participating. Wouldn’t it make sense to somehow utilize the Ottoneu setup to draft to bring awareness to this new league system? Worked great for us last year.
if there is still room i am game. danielc.duff(at)yahoo(dot)com
Great idea. I want in too, if spots are available.
matthew (dot) vereb (at) gmail (dot) com
Can we have a daily post on the front page scheduling one or two mocks for that night? The demand seems to be there.
I’m in if there’s room…markbushee [at] gmail [dot] com
Wish i had checked rotographs earlier this morning! definitely interested

Hey guys – I’m in fairly extreme keeper league and we’re looking for a player to inherit a team.
22 keepers, 40 man rosters with an 8 player minor league bench. 10×10 scoring; head 2 head categories. There are 14 teams in the league. $50 dues.
Warning: the team you inherit is fairly awful, so this will be a challenge for anyone. If your interested, let me know your email or twitter.
Sorry for the off topic post (but this is probably the best site to find someone crazy enough for this league)
I may be interested. Can you email me the roster, so I can get an idea of how awful? danielc.duff(at)yahoo(dot)com.
I’m willing to take a look too….been looking for a league like this. katmandu21(at)hotmail(dot)com.
I’d love a spot if they’re still available: nicksherrill (at) hotmail (dot) com
Im in if there is room
aaronjsilver (at) yahoo (dot) com
I’d love to jump in, if there’s room.

If there are multiple drafts, please count me in. If not, I look forward to reading the post-draft discussion. micahcash(at) gmail (dot) com
Yes please…
apuma33 [at] yahoo [dot] com
Would love to participate. Bgazda1@hotmail.com
same what other people have said, if there’s room count me in.

Okay folks – I’ve created a draft on MDC. It’s a 12 person, 5×5, 30 roster spot mock.
Email me directly (email address above) if you are committed to mocking the entire 30 rounds and are free to mock tomorrow. The draft is currently set to start at 6:00, but I can change that if necessary. Given the amount of interest, I’m guessing we can fill this thing as is.
Oliver – I’m holding a spot for you and will change the draft time if you need me to, given that this was your idea.
Very interested in this idea. This should be a regular thing. Put together an email list and whenever a new mock is scheduled, send an email out to let people know.
BTW, I’m at bigfaulc@yahoo.com.
I’d love to participate. kyle.j.attanasio@gmail.com
mattpullman@gmail.com, sign me up!
I’d love to participate too
bgoldenberg94(at)yahoo(dot)com
If there’s room count me in bigpmpnick06(at)yahoo(dot)com
For those interested make sure you email kadjilliounaire
Still a couple open slots. Here are the details you need to sign up – mockdraftcentral.com, draft is named RotoGraphs Reader Mock Draft, password is metropolitans.
Please don’t sign up unless you’re free to do the whole draft, starting at 6 EST tonight. See you in the draft room.

What are the starting roster requirements for the league? How big are the benches?
2xC, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, 5xOF, UTIL, CI, MI
9xP
7xBENCH
If everyone is serious, I will open a league on yahoo with these rosters. I just need somewhere where I could post the league info so everyone could join (emails/Facebook etc.)
Some fun picks, in the sense of who was available, some interesting valuations and of course some very surprising selections — but at a glance none more so than Jesus Guzman, given the round and who was left at the position.
My homerism really showed in the late rounds. Viciedo and Danks back to back and then Brent Morel a round later.
Shelby Miller before trevor bauer?
What’s wrong with that? They will be up around the same time and miller has had plenty of professional experience.
In a single year league i give the nod to the guy who’s got the more developed change up as a better bet for immediate success
If there is another mock draft being assembled soon, I’m very much interested in participating:
