Deep Leagues - Updated Mock Draft

Below is our first version of a “mock draft” for 2011. It’s worth noting it’s way too early to create a mock draft because most teams have not yet begun considering who they will pick and the draft order has not even been finalized. Therefore, the list really reads like a very preliminary list of the “top 50” players to help keeper league teams taking advantage of a deep 2011 draft class. I still haven’t done much research, so I am sure many deserving players are not listed. Feedback is appreciated regarding who should (or should not) be here. Special thanks to Rivera Blues, which has been updating the draft-order, and Mack’s Mets, which does a terrific job compiling various draft-related information from across the web.
