lind_adamWelcome to the fourth annual early mock draft for the 2012 Fantasy Baseball season.  That's right, we are talking about 2012 Fantasy Baseball already. We have 16 participants for the mock draft lined up and ready to go. They range from new and loyal readers to industry experts.  Other the next two months, they will navigate through the vast player pool and select 368 players in an effort to build a championship team.  Along the way, round by round reviews will be posted and added to the 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft-kit.  Feel free to comments on each round and ask the participants questions regarding their strategies.  Who knows, maybe the draft will become it's own league so that we can see who wins the draft at the end of the season.

The stats will consist of  the standard 5x5 stats plus the addition of Walks and Holds.  The lineups will consist of the following positions:

C,1B,2B,3B,SS,MI,CI,OF(5),Util,SP(3),RP(4),P(3).
Position eligibility will be based on 20 games
