Set my keepers for my auction draft. Overall team budget is $260. I went big in the auction last year getting Soto ($46) and Betts ($44) but it costs last year's auction price + $10 to keep a guy you picked so I'm sending them back into the auction.
I'm starting with (pre-draft value per Yahoo in parentheses):
Jackson Chourio - $16 ($29, average $35)
Jarren Duran - $10 ($28, average $31)
James Wood - $10 ($17, average $19)
Cole Ragans - $18 ($20, average $22)
Kumar Rocker - $2 ($1)
Rocker is a worthless keeper, but whatever.
If worthless why keep him?
He is costing you a 5th round pick at a Minimum.
No?
No, just $2 of my budget. There are no picks. Players get nominated and auctioned off. You can bid on whomever you want. You may win 2 or 3 straight and then sit out 10 players in a row… or more.
You end up filling the back of your roster with guys that cost $1, so Rocker for $2 at most is a waste of $1. Basically nothing, total flyer.

But seriously, of late, when and where prompted for a what would you like to be called, I tell em, King , King John..and some of them do it. Lmao
I prefer going by Lord.
Word of note to those going mocks, particularly the newcomers - keep in mind that 12-team drafts will be drafting players in later rounds than they’ll fall in ours. It could be helpful to look at ADPs, or just the Yahoo pre-rankings, and take note of where your draft picks will fall on those lists.
If anyone has found a 15-team mock, please share where to find it
It should still be helpful to do a standard 12-team mock on Yahoo, just to get familiar with, or refresh your memory of the format.

Wasn't able to locate a 15 team draft either..least not near our parameters.

Flew through a quick mock draft last night and hated my team. Got some work to do on strategy!
Ya my Rotoworld team also stunk.
It’s interesting to see the differences between Yahoo’s default rankings, and the auto-generated ranks it gives our league. We have Skubal ranked #4, but he comes up I think #17 in the default ranks. No other pitcher until 30-something.
