@Rudy Gamble: Yeah - that 'All Greybright' username didn't fool me either.

@Grey: Grey, I think spending time proselytizing Razzball in mock draft forums would be more helpful than all the time you spend in those AdultFriendFinder forums. Just b/c you have a 'stache doesn't mean you have to swing. Cust kayin'

@Steve1: Tks for the compliment. I liked my effort in that one as well. I’m big on hoarding sb’s early and when Sizemore went had to step outside my comfort zone a bit and go with a more balanced approach, but seemed to work out. I think that the guys do take their mocking seriously, I know I do. It is out there for the world to see and most of us use the exercise as a source of info for our readers to peruse. Nothing like a good trend analysis I say.
@grey: I’ve found by signing into mocks with my site affiliation it has been a great bonus. Generally stimulates some interest and great conversation. Ended up in one last week with 3 fellow bloggers and turned into a great bull session from which all the participants gained some great knowledge and contacts.

@Steve1: Imposter! Joking. I changed your name, so it was clear. If you want a different one, I can change it again. Just let me know.

BTW I am not the Steve that has been commenting on this thread. I just realized there was another one. My fault.

Curious as to why you would think Delgado is necessarily a risk. He’s aging but it’s not really showing, not to mention he’s only had one bad season in the last five. It’s looking like more of an anomaly than anything.

BTW Tim, your team looked great in the MDC draft that was posted on the Cafe. Getting Markakis in the fifth is flat out thievery for example. One question though: did most of the drafters take it seriously? There are multiple picks that make my tummy hurt. Like all of Swanay’s picks.

@IowaCubs: I like that, Iowa. You're making me smile. How about all of you go and bring back five people?

When I do mock drafts, I always ask somewhere in the chat box “hey… do you guys read Razzball?” and usually get a variety of interested people.

I’d suggest to you guys to do the same when you mock to help boost the readership here.
