Unique Mock Draft Opportunity

Post by Baseball Furies » Sun Mar 09, 2014 12:40 am

One week from today, Sunday, March 16th at 7:00 p.m. EST, I have worked on and got the buy in on a mock draft to be hosted on line on Real Time Sports in conjunction with Sirius XM and the RotoExperts Show. The entire concept of the draft is to compare and contrast the strategy and results of a draft featuring 15 of the best of us in comparison to a recent draft of 15 of the industry "experts" in a standard, NFBC rules,mixed league, 15-team, 30 rd, Main Event format.These results will be posted, discussed, and debated on the air throughout the following week on the radio by various hosts who will not only be interviewing me, but also as many of you who wish to participate in the dialogue to discuss this draft and your respective teams, and debate them versus the "experts" and their strategies and how they drafted as well. So we need to represent and show the industry "experts" how it's done, and who the true experts really are! 8-)

Since they left this entirely up to me to choose the participants for this league from among our ranks, here's how it's going to work:

Over the next week, until Friday the 14th at 5:00 pm EST, anyone who is interested in being considered to be a part of this draft may post your full name on this thread, and I will choose the 14 other participants in conjunction with Corey Parsons, one of the producers of the RotoExperts Show. Corey has told me he has some ideas for some of the NFBC personalities he would like to recruit or have be recruited by me for this draft, so no hard feelings if you don't get asked to be a part of this. It's nothing personal. I may be reaching out to some of you personally as well over the next few days who I would like to have take part in this NFBC Expert Players Mock Draft.

So let's have some fun with this and make our presence known with authority! 8-) Post any questions that you may on this thread, and let's get those names coming!

I nominate Steve Jupinka to talk about his strategy, cheat sheets, sleepers and KDS preferences and why! He is usually an open book so I think it would great for him to share with the masses!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think what he meant by that was telling everyone how great at drafting you are but not having to actually be any good at it, so I think you might still be able to qualify. :lol:

It could be close but MTM still got the edge and probably a little more actual game too. :)

I'm not sure I've ever seen the word "straight" in reference to MTM.
Ooops. This isn't my thread. Sorry.

I expect you to avail yourself of your services that night especially since the only thing you can win is auctions, so this might be good practice for you, Dobies. :P :lol:

Nope, Ken. He still doesn't. ;)

You will be given serious consideration for this, my friend. Thanks for the lesson in advance. ;)

Great idea Mike and very timely. Should be a great success. 8-)
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

If you want me to put my name in the hat, that would be great and thank you for asking. Though I am not one of the best. Only one of the most persistent! :lol:

I don't have anything going race-wise that weekend, MTM. Not sure I have the chops. I'm overrated
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

I do believe an overall Main Event Title qualifies you just a bit, Dan. :mrgreen: We're off to a good start, so let's keep them coming! Where are all the big boys at for this one so that we can show the supposed experts who the true experts really are? ;)

Nope. Just a mock. Not playing it out, Roy.

People still do mock drafts? How cute. I long for the days when ADP was determined by Mock Draft Central and people actually gave that relevance. Compltely different animal when no skin in the game.
