On Tuesday, February 16, 2010, RotoCommunity.com participated in a fantasy baseball mock draft (on Mock Draft Central) with the other industry experts listed below. Player position eligibility was provided by Mock Draft Central. We assumed standard 5x5 category roto scoring with 23 starters and no reserves (for the purposes of the mock). Here's how the draft went down round-by-round, with analysis following each round.

You can go here to read about my first mock draft of the season (1/26/10). That one was a 12-teamer. Go here to read about my 15-teamer from Sunday, 1/31. Go here to read about my Tuesday, 2/2 mock. Go here to read about my Tuesday, 2/9 mock. Go here to read about my Tuesday, 2/14 mock. This is my sixth expert mock within the past few weeks. 

Just as in the February 14 draft, I had the No. 1 pick, and surprisingly this draft unfolded in very similar fashion insofar as my available players. I shook it up a bit in the middle rounds, and went with a few different players than last draft. Let's see how I made out.

ROUND 1

Round	Team	Player	Pos	Team
R1 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Pujols, Albert	1B	STL
R1 P2	Junkyardjake	Braun, Ryan	OF	MIL
R1 P3	KFFL-Cory	Rodriguez, Alex	3B	NYY
R1 P4	Cobra Kai	Ramirez, Hanley	SS	FLA
R1 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Utley, Chase	2B	PHI
R1 P6	thetrueguru	Kemp, Matt	OF	LA
R1 P7	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Lincecum, Tim	SP	SF
R1 P8	X-Factors	Fielder, Prince	1B	MIL
R1 P9	aaron marks	Howard, Ryan	1B	PHI
R1 P10	burakiewicz	Cabrera, Miguel	1B	DET
R1 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Teixeira, Mark	1B	NYY
R1 P12	@JoelHenard	Longoria, Evan	3B	TB

No-brainer pick here. junkyardjaks pulls a shocker by drafting Braun at No. 2, then Cory perpetuates his man-crush on A-Rod by passing over Hanley Ramirez for the Yankees third baseman. Strange days indeed.

ROUND 2

R2 P1	@JoelHenard	Tulowitzki, Troy	SS	COL
R2 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Crawford, Carl	OF	TB
R2 P3	burakiewicz	Wright, David	3B	NYM
R2 P4	aaron marks	Rollins, Jimmy	SS	PHI
R2 P5	X-Factors	Reyes, Jose	SS	NYM
R2 P6	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Ellsbury, Jacoby	OF	BOS
R2 P7	thetrueguru	Reynolds, Mark	3B	ARI
R2 P8	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Holliday, Matt	OF	STL
R2 P9	Cobra Kai	Phillips, Brandon	2B	CIN
R2 P10	KFFL-Cory	Kinsler, Ian	2B	TEX
R2 P11	Junkyardjake	Sabathia, CC	SP	NYY
R2 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Mauer, Joe	C	MIN

Just as in the February 14 draft, Mauer inexplicably falls to No. 24. Thank you, thank you one and all. The trueguru shows a lot of love for Reynolds, but I'm not feeling it, I'm afraid. He and I are more of a fourth-round thing than a second-round thing.

ROUND 3

R3 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Youkilis, Kevin	1B	BOS
R3 P2	Junkyardjake	Sizemore, Grady	OF	CLE
R3 P3	KFFL-Cory	Gonzalez, Adrian	1B	SD
R3 P4	Cobra Kai	Zimmerman, Ryan	3B	WAS
R3 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Upton, Justin	OF	ARI
R3 P6	thetrueguru	Votto, Joey	1B	CIN
R3 P7	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Werth, Jayson	OF	PHI
R3 P8	X-Factors	Roberts, Brian	2B	BAL
R3 P9	aaron marks	Sandoval, Pablo	3B	SF
R3 P10	burakiewicz	Bay, Jason	OF	NYM
R3 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Pedroia, Dustin	2B	BOS
R3 P12	@JoelHenard	Suzuki, Ichiro	OF	SEA

I filled the void at thoid by drafting Youkilis -- no more needs be said about this pick. I thought Petey was a nice value at 3.11, but I'm not sure that Jayson Werth will return third-round value this year (the BA thing).

ROUND 4

R4 P1	@JoelHenard	Morneau, Justin	1B	MIN
R4 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Lind, Adam	OF	TOR
R4 P3	burakiewicz	Martinez, Victor	C	BOS
R4 P4	aaron marks	Jeter, Derek	SS	NYY
R4 P5	X-Factors	Greinke, Zack	SP	KC
R4 P6	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Granderson, Curtis	OF	NYY
R4 P7	thetrueguru	Halladay, Roy	SP	PHI
R4 P8	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Hernandez, Felix	SP	SEA
R4 P9	Cobra Kai	Dunn, Adam	OF	WAS
R4 P10	KFFL-Cory	Markakis, Nick	OF	BAL
R4 P11	Junkyardjake	Santana, Johan	SP	NYM
R4 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Hill, Aaron	2B	TOR

Hill again tumbles to the end of the fourth round -- apparently many folks are thinking that he can't repeat his '09 performance. I don't think so either -- but 20-25 bombs and something around .285 would be just fine. Some good starting pitcher value here, especially Greinke and Halladay in the middle of the fourth round. Nice.

ROUND 5

R5 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Haren, Dan	SP	ARI
R5 P2	Junkyardjake	Cruz, Nelson	OF	TEX
R5 P3	KFFL-Cory	Hamilton, Josh	OF	TEX
R5 P4	Cobra Kai	McCann, Brian	C	ATL
R5 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Morales, Kendry	1B	ANA
R5 P6	thetrueguru	Upton, B.J.	OF	TB
R5 P7	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Zobrist, Ben	2B	TB
R5 P8	X-Factors	Ramirez, Manny	OF	LA
R5 P9	aaron marks	Choo, Shin-Soo	OF	CLE
R5 P10	burakiewicz	Cano, Robinson	2B	NYY
R5 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Broxton, Jonathan	RP	LA
R5 P12	@JoelHenard	Wainwright, Adam	SP	STL

I love Haren, but the whole second-half implosion thing gets old after a few repeats. I'll try to move him again this year, but with the cat out of the bag, his trade value will be way below market value. Don't just dump him, though -- perhaps the Snakes will limit his innings a bit this year and maybe help him through his chronic second-half woes.

ROUND 6

R6 P1	@JoelHenard	Verlander, Justin	SP	DET
R6 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Ramirez, Aramis	3B	CHC
R6 P3	burakiewicz	Lester, Jon	SP	BOS
R6 P4	aaron marks	Victorino, Shane	OF	PHI
R6 P5	X-Factors	Beltran, Carlos	OF	NYM
R6 P6	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Figgins, Chone	3B	SEA
R6 P7	thetrueguru	Lee, Cliff	SP	SEA
R6 P8	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Johnson, Josh	SP	FLA
R6 P9	Cobra Kai	Beckett, Josh	SP	BOS
R6 P10	KFFL-Cory	Vazquez, Javier	SP	NYY
R6 P11	Junkyardjake	Papelbon, Jonathan	RP	BOS
R6 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Lee, Carlos	OF	HOU

I thought that Verlander was a nice value here, but Beckett, Lester and Johnson felt a tad early to me. I had eschewed outfielders in the draft's early going, (a recipe for disaster in five-outfielder leagues) so I was glad to see Lee...

ROUND 7

R7 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Abreu, Bobby	OF	ANA
R7 P2	Junkyardjake	Uggla, Dan	2B	FLA
R7 P3	KFFL-Cory	Bourn, Michael	OF	HOU
R7 P4	Cobra Kai	Ethier, Andre	OF	LA
R7 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Carpenter, Chris	SP	STL
R7 P6	thetrueguru	Nathan, Joe	RP	MIN
R7 P7	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Hanson, Tommy	SP	ATL
R7 P8	X-Factors	Lee, Derrek	1B	CHC
R7 P9	aaron marks	Gallardo, Yovani	SP	MIL
R7 P10	burakiewicz	Hunter, Torii	OF	ANA
R7 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Rivera, Mariano	RP	NYY
R7 P12	@JoelHenard	McLouth, Nate	OF	ATL

...and Abreu still on the board. Between them, they give me strong batting average, power and stolen bases... and yes, I did breathe a big sigh of relief after landing them both. Derrek Lee seems to be going earlier in drafts lately, so maybe folks are figuring out that he had a pretty darn good season last year. Carp and Gallardo are solid picks, but I'm not sold on McLouth this early.

ROUND 8

R8 P1	@JoelHenard	Soria, Joakim	RP	KC
R8 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Pence, Hunter	OF	HOU
R8 P3	burakiewicz	Bell, Heath	RP	SD
R8 P4	aaron marks	Butler, Billy	1B	KC
R8 P5	X-Factors	Rodriguez, Francisco	RP	NYM
R8 P6	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Berkman, Lance	1B	HOU
R8 P7	thetrueguru	Drew, Stephen	SS	ARI
R8 P8	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Pena, Carlos	1B	TB
R8 P9	Cobra Kai	Bruce, Jay	OF	CIN
R8 P10	KFFL-Cory	Valverde, Jose	RP	DET
R8 P11	Junkyardjake	Jones, Adam	OF	BAL
R8 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Cain, Matt	SP	SF

Cain and Haren give me a dynamic 1-2 punch, though I could have gone with Jimenez here as well. Those two are what I view as the last of this tier of starting pitchers. Plenty of closers left the board this round, which has been the norm. Guess it's time to act.

ROUND 9

R9 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Cordero, Francisco	RP	CIN
R9 P2	Junkyardjake	Peavy, Jake	SP	CHW
R9 P3	KFFL-Cory	Kershaw, Clayton	SP	LA
R9 P4	Cobra Kai	Jimenez, Ubaldo	SP	COL
R9 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Garza, Matt	SP	TB
R9 P6	thetrueguru	Ramirez, Alexei	SS	CHW
R9 P7	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	McCutchen, Andrew	OF	PIT
R9 P8	X-Factors	Nolasco, Ricky	SP	FLA
R9 P9	aaron marks	Rodriguez, Wandy	SP	HOU
R9 P10	burakiewicz	Ibanez, Raul	OF	PHI
R9 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Hamels, Cole	SP	PHI
R9 P12	@JoelHenard	Wieters, Matt	C	BAL

Coco should be fine again this season, and he's one of the last "worry free" options still on the board. I thought Wieters represented very good value this late in a two-catcher formatfPeavy may be fine, but his propensity toor arm trouble plus a move to the AL have me looking in the other direction.

ROUND 10

R10 P1	@JoelHenard	Lopez, Jose	2B	SEA
R10 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Weaver, Jered	SP	ANA
R10 P3	burakiewicz	Bartlett, Jason	SS	TB
R10 P4	aaron marks	Bailey, Andrew	RP	OAK
R10 P5	X-Factors	Soriano, Alfonso	OF	CHC
R10 P6	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Andrus, Elvis	SS	TEX
R10 P7	thetrueguru	Beckham, Gordon	3B	CHW
R10 P8	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Stewart, Ian	3B	COL
R10 P9	Cobra Kai	Span, Denard	OF	MIN
R10 P10	KFFL-Cory	Rios, Alex	OF	CHW
R10 P11	Junkyardjake	Jones, Garrett	OF	PIT
R10 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Young, Michael	3B	TEX

Young is a rock-solid choice as my corner infielder; I just love these boring vets that fall too far. Bailey was a nice pick; I almost grabbed him instead of Cordero last round.

ROUND 11

R11 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Kubel, Jason	OF	MIN
R11 P2	Junkyardjake	Cabrera, Asdrubal	SS	CLE
R11 P3	KFFL-Cory	Escobar, Yunel	SS	ATL
R11 P4	Cobra Kai	Street, Huston	RP	COL
R11 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Morgan, Nyjer	OF	WAS
R11 P6	thetrueguru	Gonzalez, Carlos	OF	COL
R11 P7	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Fowler, Dexter	OF	COL
R11 P8	X-Factors	Jones, Chipper	3B	ATL
R11 P9	aaron marks	Kendrick, Howie	2B	ANA
R11 P10	burakiewicz	Tejada, Miguel	SS	BAL
R11 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Beltre, Adrian	3B	BOS
R11 P12	@JoelHenard	Billingsley, Chad	SP	LA

If he stays healthy, Kubel should be back in the .290-25-90 range at least this season. It's all about those knees holding up. I almost took Carlos Gonzalez here, and might have done exactly that if given a do-over. I'm not sure I like the Dexter Fowler pick here, though.

ROUND 12

R12 P1	@JoelHenard	Suzuki, Kurt	C	OAK
R12 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Lackey, John	SP	BOS
R12 P3	burakiewicz	Anderson, Brett	SP	OAK
R12 P4	aaron marks	Baker, Scott	SP	MIN
R12 P5	X-Factors	Guerrero, Vladimir	DH	TEX
R12 P6	Ivar Anderson-Fantasy Gameday	Aardsma, David	RP	SEA

R12 P8	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Soriano, Rafael	RP	TB
R12 P9	Cobra Kai	Davis, Chris	1B	TEX
R12 P10	KFFL-Cory	Webb, Brandon	SP	ARI
R12 P11	Junkyardjake	Marmol, Carlos	RP	CHC
R12 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Quentin, Carlos	OF	CHW

I'm willing to buy a lottery ticket on Quentin -- there's quite a bit of talent there, and I think he can launch 30-plus bombs again if he stays healthy.

ROUND 13

R13 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Jurrjens, Jair	SP	ATL
R13 P2	Junkyardjake	Hart, Corey	OF	MIL
R13 P3	KFFL-Cory	Wilson, Brian	RP	SF
R13 P4	Cobra Kai	Scherzer, Max	SP	DET
R13 P5	Jason Swist (Fantasy Baseball Search)	Burnett, A.J.	SP	NYY
R13 P6	thetrueguru	Fuentes, Brian	RP	ANA

R13 P8	X-Factors	Lilly, Ted	SP	CHC
R13 P9	aaron marks	de la Rosa, Jorge	SP	COL
R13 P10	burakiewicz	Franklin, Ryan	RP	STL
R13 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Gonzalez, Mike	RP	BAL
R13 P12	@JoelHenard	Cuddyer, Michael	OF	MIN

I like Jurrjens, but the other drafters shied away due to his arm acting up a bit at the time. He looks to be back on track now. Corey Hart could pay big dividends, especially this late. I think Mike Gonzalez is going to have a nice season in B'more... nice pick, Bob.

ROUND 14

R14 P1	@JoelHenard	Danks, John	SP	CHW
R14 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Dempster, Ryan	SP	CHC
R14 P3	burakiewicz	Matsuzaka, Daisuke	SP	BOS

R14 P9	Cobra Kai	Francisco, Frank	RP	TEX
R14 P10	KFFL-Cory	Wood, Kerry	RP	CLE
R14 P11	Junkyardjake	Capps, Matt	RP	WAS
R14 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Davis, Rajai	OF	OAK

I was hoping Hoffman would make it back to me, but I had no such luck. I'll take Davis as a cheap source of steals... he could make a run at 50 in the A's small-ball offense. Shields could be nice value here. I believe he'll bounce back a bit this season.

ROUND 15

R15 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Jenks, Bobby	RP	CHW
R15 P2	Junkyardjake	Slowey, Kevin	SP	MIN
R15 P3	KFFL-Cory	Cantu, Jorge	1B	FLA

R15 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Rivera, Juan	OF	ANA
R15 P12	@JoelHenard	Feliz, Neftali	SP	TEX

A lack of love for the Michelin Man caused him to tumble (roll, maybe?) down to me at 15.12. His hold on the job isn't rock-solid, but I think he'll be fine.

ROUND 16

R16 P1	@JoelHenard	Pierre, Juan	OF	CHW
R16 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Montero, Miguel	C	ARI
R16 P3	burakiewicz	Hawpe, Brad	OF	COL

R16 P9	Cobra Kai	Floyd, Gavin	SP	CHW
R16 P10	KFFL-Cory	Iannetta, Chris	C	COL
R16 P11	Junkyardjake	Napoli, Mike	C	ANA
R16 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Sheets, Ben	SP	OAK

I've written about Sheets before -- if Billy Beane saw enough to give him 10 large, then that's enough for me. Damon looks like a nice value way down here, and Montero falling this far in a two-catcher format is surprising. I'm not buying in on Harden -- too brittle for my taste.

ROUND 17

R17 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Scutaro, Marco	SS	BOS
R17 P2	Junkyardjake	Loney, James	1B	LA
R17 P3	KFFL-Cory	Weeks, Rickie	2B	MIL

R17 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Doumit, Ryan	C	PIT
R17 P12	@JoelHenard	Cabrera, Orlando	SS	CIN

Scutaro should pile up plenty of runs in Beantown, and swipe a dozen or so bases. I'm not sure he'll hit double-digit homers again, though. Weeks could be an absolute steal if he can stay healthy, but haven't we said that about Rickie every year?

ROUND 18

R18 P1	@JoelHenard	Konerko, Paul	1B	CHW
R18 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	LaRoche, Adam	1B	ARI
R18 P3	burakiewicz	Sanchez, Jonathan	SP	SF

R18 P10	KFFL-Cory	Liriano, Francisco	SP	MIN
R18 P11	Junkyardjake	Buchholz, Clay	SP	BOS
R18 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Helton, Todd	1B	COL

Helton -- eh, good hitter, little power. Move along, nothing to see here. I was hoping to get a shot at Kaz or Konerko, but oh well. I don't get the Howell pick -- Soriano is The Man, and Howell would probably only be a committee guy if Soriano goes down.

ROUND 19

R19 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Zambrano, Carlos	SP	CHC
R19 P2	Junkyardjake	Molina, Yadier	C	STL
R19 P3	KFFL-Cory	Wells, Vernon	OF	TOR

R19 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Cabrera, Everth	SS	SD
R19 P12	@JoelHenard	Podsednik, Scott	OF	KC

I'm not a big Zambrano guy, but he was such a good value at this late stage I had to pull the trigger. In hindsight, Pierzynski should have been my pick. Live. Learn. More cheap speed off the board with Pods and Everth Cabrera going... plenty of that out there this year.

ROUND 20

R20 P1	@JoelHenard	Buehrle, Mark	SP	CHW
R20 P2	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Peralta, Jhonny	3B	CLE

R20 P11	Junkyardjake	Aviles, Mike	SS	KC
R20 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Baker, John	C	FLA

I waited too long for my second catcher, but Baker should be okay. Big Z should be quite a bit better than any starting pitchers still on the board at this point, while Baker should give me at least serviceable numbers behind the dish.

ROUND 21

R21 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Barmes, Clint	2B	COL
R21 P2	Junkyardjake	Young, Chris	OF	ARI
R21 P3	KFFL-Cory	Ruiz, Carlos	C	PHI

R21 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	Chamberlain, Joba	SP	NYY
R21 P12	@JoelHenard	Gregerson, Luke	SP	SD

Barmes should be a nice source of late power, with a few steals thrown in for good measure. Looking back, Theriot should have been my man, as I probably could have used his base-stealing talents more than Barmes' pop. I would have taken Ludwick here had I had the roster space, but with no bench you have to stay within the draft's constraints.

ROUND 22

R22 P1	@JoelHenard	Storen, Drew	RP	WAS

R22 P11	Junkyardjake	Freese, David	3B	STL
R22 P12	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Hughes, Philip	SP	NYY

Come on Yanks, give the kid the ball. Hughes could be a rotation fixture for years if the Yanks would get over their infatuation with Joba Chamberlain's non-ability as a starting pitcher. The trueguru buys a lottery ticket with Bedard, and Cory steals my pick by taking Bumgarner. Sometimes I regret teaching that guy so much about Fantasy Baseball.

ROUND 23

R23 P1	RotoCommunity_Davidson	Strasburg, Stephen	SP	WAS
R23 P2	Junkyardjake	Chapman, Aroldis	SP	CIN

R23 P11	Bob Sikon - Fantasy Baseball Trade Market	DeRosa, Mark	3B	SF
R23 P12	@JoelHenard	Hafner, Travis	DH	CLE

It doesn't look like Strasburg will make the big club this spring, so in hindsight... well, there weren't too many better options out there. Chapman is looking like he could make the Show, and he's a nice lottery ticket at this point.

I like this team a lot. I'm a little soft with my second catcher and second closer, but I have some nice upside in Quentin, Sheets and Hughes. Davis and Abreu are good base-stealers, but I may be a bit thin in that category as well.
