NFBC 12-Team Early Draft Results

[Greg Ambrosius]

With the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship leagues now going in full swing, we thought it would make sense to start posting some 12-team draft results. It's time to whet your appetites for this format and get you excited about this contest and the NFBC XII. Both contests have $50,000 grand prizes and 30 round drafts with in-season moves.

Heck, check out the signup list for the NFBC XII. The ROI on that contest is as good as it gets right now. Draft Online or live in any of the three cities and beat less than 300 teams for the $50,000 grand prize. Can't beat it at $1,000 per team.

Okay, here are some early results. We'll keep all of the 12-team results here. Enjoy.

Interesting that Trout is the first choice in the vast majority of these 12-team leagues. Most - but by no means all - of the 15-team drafts I have been in or seen had Braun or Miggy as the first choice. Since the Braun PED scare of a few weeks ago, seems like Miggy has been the top choice most often. I'm just curious whether (1) my sample size is too limited and Trout frequently is the first choice these days, or (2) Trout has more appeal in the 12-team format than the 15-team format (and, if so, why?).

These early Rotowire Online Championship drafts are interesting:

** Mike Trout went 1st in 9 of the first 11 drafts.
** Miguel Cabrera went 1st in 2 of the 11 drafts and 2nd 9 times.
** Ryan Braun went 3rd 10 times, 2nd once
** Robinson Cano is still the consensus 4th overall pick, but Matt Kemp sure if getting some lovin'.

Not everybody subscribes to position scarcity but I think Trout is more popular as a first choice in the 12 team drafts for two reasons (1) less impact of not getting a good 3B early and (2) people who bypassed on Trout in the 15 team events get their chance to take Trout in the 12 team event. Though, in my one 12 team event so far with the number one pick, I still took Cabrera.

I totally agree with you Don on the fact that there really is no 3B scarcity in 12-team leagues and thus Trout looks that much better in this format. Plus, from what I've seen this spring he doesn't look like he's regressed at all.
