Is it just me or do the mock drafts on Fantrax blow donkey balls?

I have been using mocks at espn, but it's hard to get a handle on where guys MIGHT go bc their player rankings are different.

Doesnt matter... the one thing i have learned is no matter how many mock drafts you do the one you are in is going to be totally different... after all i am trading up to get Kershaw!!!

Oh I know I never get everyone I target. Just saying, instead of what I had to do(which was write down all my picks and who I'd like at each one) i was hoping to be able just to do a mock. Makes it easier for me anyways.

And haha to ur Kershaw comment. Maybe I've decided to take Goldy instead? Or Harper? Or LaRoche? ;)

I wouldn't know. The few times I checked, they only had a few drafts that fit my league type, none of which ever was conveinient to my schedule.


That, and the next mock draft would be my first one.......

That's kinda what I mean. There's like a two day wait for a mock draft. I don't wanna wait days and then forget about it, I'd like to do a mock when I get on. Ah well, no worries.

Woo Hoo! 5 days to go! Two drafts this weekend, two the next.

Treff has already been quite the busy beaver in our sim league. I have a feeling we will be talking soon. :nod:

That's the only problem I've had with Fantrax mock drafts, other than getting used to it. I'll sign up for a mock and then something comes up when it's time.

Ah, who cares? Time to get down and dirty! :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Man kinda sucks to have to make an appointment to do a mock! I give a rats ass less about the actual mock I just want to familiarize myself with the draft room.

I went in a fantrax draft a virgin, having not done any mocks... I found it extremely user friendly and I'm sure there will be no problems for any of you.


... just can't wait to see who falls to #9!!!

I would stay away from Miggy, he is due for an injury. Something along the lines of tripping over a rock while taking the field on opening day, breaking his leg and missing the first 94 games.


The groundskeeper at Comerica has to go into hiding with Steve Bartman.

Sam,

I believe it is truly a coin flip between Trout and Miggy.

Just a thought to help you-

What would make you more upset with yourself-

If you passed on Trout and Miggy underperformed?
or

If you passed on Miggy and Trout underperformed?

Although I would never advocate picking with your heart, when in doubt I find it best to take the player you prefer to root for (that is assuming the choice truly is a close call).

I vote that it's not fair the owners at the 3-spot have to listen to the top 2 whine about this problem. Maybe we should let those two slip to the 3-spot? All in favor?
