Analyzing 2009's ADP

[Greg Ambrosius]

It's always fun to look back at the finished season and admit your mistakes or applaud your accomplishments. In fantasy baseball, we have an Average Draft Position (ADP) list from our 26 main event drafts and soon we'll have finished statistics from every player. This is a great way to look at "what could have been" for each of us on 2009 Draft Day and "why we did that" on D-Day.



Anyway, I'm going to break down our ADP's from the live drafts by increments of four rounds and see what we can come up. Join in the chatter and help us analyze what we did right in 2009 and what we did wrong in 2010. And more importantly, what will transpire for 2010.



Here's the ADP from the live drafts for the first 60 picks (first four rounds):
