Fantasy College Football Invitational Draft Results

The FCFI draft was on Monday night, with the draft being hosted by the good folks at Mock Draft Central. This is the fourth year I've participated in this industry league, and I have a pretty decent track record in the league (though I don't feel as strong about my knowledge of the player pool just yet as in past years). This year it's a 14-team league. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Team Def. The draft was 18 rounds, and I drafted in the 11th spot. Here's my team:

Pos Name Bye Team Pick
QB Todd Reesing 5 KANS R6 P4
RB Jahvid Best 6,13 CAL R1 P11
RB DuJuan Harris 5 TROY R5 P11
RB Da'Rel Scott 9 U MD R9 P11
RB Joseph Turner 1 TCU R11 P11
RB Frank Goodin 6 L MON R12 P4
RB Darius Marshall 10 MARSH R13 P11
RB Alex Allen 5 AKRON R14 P4
RB Bryce Brown 7 TENN R15 P11
RB Jarvis Giles 12 SC R18 P4
WR Dezmon Briscoe 5 KANS R2 P4
WR Damaris Johnson 6 TULSA R3 P11
WR T.Y. Hilton 1,13 FL INTL R4 P4
WR Freddie Barnes 9 BWL GR R10 P4
WR O'Neill Chambers 9 BYU R17 P11
TE Garrett Graham 8,13 WISC R7 P11
K Hunter Lawrence 5 TEX R16 P4
DEF Defense 5 FLA R8 P4

You'll notice that I went heavy on WR's early on - I think there's some separation between the first two tiers and the rest of the receiving pool, and it's easier to find QB's and RB's on the waiver wire later. We'll see if this strategy bears out. It was easier to go this route after seven of the first 10 picks were quarterbacks - there was no value in taking the next best QB at that point.

Here are the full draft results.

How BABIP Affects the Value of Strikeouts and Walks
The league-average batting-average-on-balls-in-play (BABIP) has been on a downward trajectory for the last half decade, something that has implications for the values of different at-bat outcomes. BABIP is down precipitously this season (.289), though it's hard to tell to what extent that's due to all the shifting defenses (better data on where balls are hit have enabled this), or is simply just an April cold-weather/small sample anomaly.
NHL Playoff Observations -- Monday
Just a few things that caught my eye ...
  • Alexander Semin was on the wrong side of the grocery stick most of the night. You know, that spot between the back-up goalie and the rest of the team ... the one where the dead wood goes so it doesn't get in the way of on-the-fly changes.
  • Honey badger don't care. Honey badger doesn't give a $%!&.  T.J. Oshie gave up four inches and 50 pounds to Dustin Penner, but he didn't care. Then again, honey badger didn't care when he hit Rick Nash a few years ago, either. I wonder if the NHL would let me get a Blues #74 jersey with Honey Badger on the back.
Buy Lowest
Every year, we hear advice about how it's time to "buy low" on struggling stars like Albert Pujols, Giancarlo Stanton and Robinson Cano. "Get them now for cheap before they heat up!" Except that the market for superstars - at least in competitive leagues - usually doesn't move much after one bad month. (Whether it should in these cases is another question). It's more likely that the Pujols and Stanton owners are doubling down, figuring that only a hot streak from a player of that caliber can undo the damage that's already been done.

That doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the market's early overreaction, but you'll have to aim a little lower and take on quite a bit more risk. The players listed below are those who should be available at an actual discount.

Fantasy Rookies
Now that the 2012 NFL Draft is complete and rosters look about the way they will when training camps open in late July, it’s time to start the speculation train full steam ahead to fantasy draft days. Many players taken in this class will have a fantasy impact, some immediate, some in small spurts as rookies and some not for years to come.
