Look, this is not going to be one of those uncertain, self-indulgent, navel-gazing examinations of a fantasy industry draft. I am not seeking your approval of my Tout Wars roster; I already know it was a triumph of game theory and modern drafting principles. In fact, many are saying it's the greatest collection of human talent ever assembled for a virtual purpose (in a 5X5 OBP format).
— at which point the room simply could not recover. It was over. Several participants respectfully conceded. The draft became a coronation.But again, I didn't come here for positive reinforcement. Don't need it. Clearly, I have constructed a badass fantasy team. An aspirational roster, truly.
Let's not slog through a pick-by-pick analysis when nothing about the squad can be reasonably criticized. Instead, we're here to focus on the endgame, beyond the top-250-or-so selections. I'd like to highlight five late-round Tout selections who deserve attention in deep mixed leagues ...Moncada is, for a variety of reasons, one of the game's more obvious bounce-back candidates.
Just two years ago, he reached base at a .375 clip. This is not a guy we should be writing off just yet.I'll allow for the possibility that I may have happened to stream Lauer at all the right times last season, inflating his true talent level in my mind. He's outproduced his expected ERA in each of the past two years, which is reason enough for the people who panic about regression to toss his name on the do-not-draft list.
