2006 Mock Draft Results

So last night I had my fantasy draft for my pay league on CBS Sportsline. Since this blog is not a fantasy blog, I don't typically analyze players from that perspective, because I think it's boring for people who don't play Fantasy Sports. However, I thought I would share some thoughts on my draft and kinda just see where it takes me. I ended up making a mock draft out of my League's Draft. I've provided it in a word document, (if you really want to read this and don't have word, feel free to email me and I will do my best to help you out.) It basically looks like any Mock Draft you'll find on ESPN or CBS, with one difference. I'm not making you pay me for it - it's free! I'm such a nice guy. As a matter of fact, I rather enjoy writing about baseball, which is why I would never expect someone to pay to read me. I'm not saying I'll never accept payment from a website or magazine to buy my work. In fact, I'm thinking I can take up freelance sports journalism to help put me through Med School. When you're in debt $100,000, every little bit helps. Anyway, I digress. Check out the Mock Draft here. You'll find a league description and everything there as well.

The biggest hint I can give you is to remember, you want to draft guys based on how long you think they'll last. If you want a guy, and you don't think he'll make it back to you for your next pick, pick him up. Don't draft someone at #15 just because you think he's that good, when there's a good chance no one else will be looking at him till #30. It sounds really simple, but we had someone draft Grady Sizemore at #14. I don't know why he did that.

Finally, special thanks to whoever is responsible at MLBlogs for throwing me up on the cover story today. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you think I deserve it. I'll put up another real post soon. Teaser! Expect some stuff on David Wright.
