Last week, we held the very first Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft for the 2015 season. Oh my, we are proactive! We gathered together 12 of the very best Fantasy Baseball writers across the worldwide web, and stuck them into a time machine. We sent these to the year 2015, to hold the first baseball mock draft of the year, while also battling cyborgs and zombies and Shia Labeouf.
Zombie baseball is obviously a big part of the Fantasy Baseball landscape in the coming seasons. Unfortunately, stolen bases are going to take a BIG hit.
So now, we’re entering the third and fourth rounds of this Fantasy Baseball mock draft, after an eventful first two rounds. We’ve already had two pitchers taken (both in the second round), along with 12 different outfielders!
Heck, there were three shortstops taken in the first 12 picks! Let’s get right into Rounds 3 & 4!
While we don’t yet have Fantasy Baseball in space, it’s only a matter of time. Bill Lee, obviously, would be the commissioner.
