"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." -Rogers Hornsby I'm already missing baseball. Football is nice, but it doesn't sustain me. I sat out of fantasy football this season, fantasy basketball is garbage, and why is ATOI a stat in fantasy hockey? So poo poo, let's do a way too early mock draft and with the time it takes to get one of these done, maybe we'll have ten rounds done by the all star game. I realize none of the FA have signed yet, but it's not like Jason Heyward or Zack Greinke are going to the Rockies, so their values aren't going to change that much. Instead of waiting for 10 people to fill it, I'll just start and first ten people who feel like playing can pick from there. Consider this just a normal 5x5 league. No preference to roto or head to head. I'll kick it off with 1.1: Bryce Harper. Goldy are Trout are options, but after a monster season, I want to see if Harper has an even higher ceiling. I expect more RBI, a lower AVG, with more steals, but should be able to deliver first overall production.

1.2 Mike Trout. The first three picks are interchangeable imo. I would not be disappointed with Trout, Harper, or Goldy here.

I was tempted to overthink this and take a 3B or even a SS. But I'll make the safe, boring pick: 1.3 Paul Goldschmidt  Goldy seems safer than other guys who might go early/mid first round. He's been a great hitter more or less since he came up; he's not a late bloomer like Donaldson, or coming off injuries like Giancarlo. Also, strange as it sounds, first base is one of the shallowest positions these days. I mean there's plenty of Belts and Hosmers and Freemans, but only a few elite guys. Throw in 15 bags a year (21 in 2015) and an improved lineup around him (Pollock, Peralta, Tomas, etc) and I can't pass up Goldy here. Just for funsies, here's last year's first rounders. Gonna be a ton of new names in the first few rounds. Can't wait to see how high Seager, Correa, Bryant, Schwarber, etc, etc, go.

Stanton is the clear #4 to me. The injuries are obviously an enormous concern, but he's only 26 and one of these years he's going to hit 50+ homers. Steamer has him at 98 R 44 HR 110 RBI .277 AVG.  McCutchen's durability is tempting (6 straight years of 146+ games played), but his steals are trending down badly so 27 HR/15 SB/.310 AVG seems like his absolute ceiling. Steamer has him down for 23/12/.295 which sounds about right.

This might not finish until after these guys retire. We're drafting for the All-Star weekend Oldtimer's Game.

Look at the sea of fantasy football threads. Fantasy football is cool and good, but I sat out this year and don't miss it at all.

In the past I didn't pay attention to fantasy baseball until after football was over but since I started playing Ottoneu I pay attention 12 months a year. I would love to get the 2016 discussion thread going but I think most people are still pretty focused on football.
