2013 Draft Prep: 12-team, mixed Rotisserie draft

Al Melchior
  •  

Remember when Jered Weaver looked like a strikeout-per-inning stud for all Fantasy formats? The owners in our recent Rotisserie mock draft didn't remember either.

The relegation of Weaver to the fifth round was just one of the wrinkles that defined the character of this 12-team mixed league mock. While the devaluing of pitchers with middling strikeout rates, like Weaver, Johnny Cueto and Doug Fister was to be expected, other developments were more surprising. In fact, the selection of Ryan Braun -- and not Miguel Cabrera -- as the first pick overall was a mild surprise (at least judging by our current average draft position data), and that set the tone for an early outfielder run. After Cabrera was taken with the second pick, outfielders Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen and Matt Kemp were selected in succession. With Carlos Gonzalez making it five outfielders off the board within the first eight picks, the strategy of taking elites at scarce positions, like catcher, second base and shortstop, was not one employed by many owners in this mock. The outcome mirrors other early Rotisserie drafts occurring on CBSSports.com, as Trout, Braun, Kemp and McCutchen all have ADPs below 9.0.

Aside from Robinson Cano, no one from the three traditionally scarce positions was taken until Dustin Pedroia went with the third pick in Round 2. Owners gradually started to fill in their catcher, second base and shortstop slots later in the second round, and pitchers not named Clayton Kershaw and Justin Verlander started to come off the board, too.

Though he is following up a subpar season, it wasn't surprising to see Justin Upton get taken with the 26th overall pick, but owners were more cautious with some of the other bounceback candidates. Adrian Gonzalez (38th pick), Jon Lester (99th), Carl Crawford (102nd), Roy Halladay (104th), Dan Uggla (118th), Dan Haren (125st), Brian McCann (129th), Tim Lincecum (138th), Josh Beckett (195th) and Ricky Romero (197th) all went late enough to be tremendous bargains if they can return to form.

While owners exercised caution with established veterans who slumped in 2012, they were eager to grab last season's two biggest-name rookies. Mike Trout went third overall while Bryce Harper -- taken with the 30th pick -- was selected earlier than Curtis Granderson (35th) and Matt Holliday (36th). Proving you can never be sure how sophomore-year players will be appraised in any given draft, Yoenis Cespedes (46th), Yu Darvish (88th) and Wilin Rosario (97th) were each taken at spots well below their current ADPs.

Trout and Harper may come at a premium now, but a year ago, both were drafted on average after the first 230 picks. From this year's rookie crop, Adam Eaton (190th), Wil Myers (199th), Bruce Rondon (219th) and Shelby Miller (222nd) all went earlier in this mock draft than Trout or Harper did on average last year. Promising rookies were still available very late, though, including Hyun-Jin Ryu, Jurickson Profar, Travis d'Arnaud and Dan Straily, all of whom were drafted in the final two rounds.

As one would expect, stolen base specialists Michael Bourn and Elvis Andrus went earlier -- both in the fifth round -- than they typcially have in Head-to-Head leagues, but owners didn't have to use an early round pick to fill their need for speed. Brett Gardner, Angel Pagan, Jean Segura, Coco Crisp and Everth Cabrera all went in the latter third of the draft.

From Braun to Alfonso Soriano, these 12 owners collectively hand-picked the 276 players they'd go to battle with for the 2013 season.

Miguel Cabrera swats three homers in losing effort
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:27 am ET) Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera was dialed in as he recorded his second career three-home run game Sunday night against the Rangers.

Cabrera unleashed a three-run home run in the third, a solo shot in the fifth and another solo home run in the eighth inning. He became the 23rd player in major-league history to finish 4 for 4 with three home runs, five RBI and four runs scored. However, he became the first player to do it in a losing cause as the Tigers fell to the Rangers 11-8.

Cabrera hit .304 with eight homers and 34 RBI through 42 games during his triple crown season in 2012. He is hitting .387 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI through 42 games this season.

Joe Nathan closes out Tigers
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:19 am ET) Rangers closer Joe Nathan notched his 13th save of the season Sunday night against the Tigers.

Nathan, who entered the game in the ninth inning with a three-run lead, worked his way around a leadoff walk as he retired the next three batters to secure an 11-8 victory. He struck out one and improved his ERA to 2.12 after converting his 13th save in as many chances.

Prince Fielder collects three RBI vs. Rangers
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:16 am ET) Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder is hoping to snap out of a recent funk. Fielder drove in a run Saturday for the first time in more than a week and finished 2 for 4 with a walk and three RBI Sunday against the Rangers.

"It's definitely not going to hurt," Fielder said. "That's what I'm trying to do, just trying to hit the ball hard. That's the goal, to hit the ball hard and see what happens."

Fielder is hitting .209 (9 for 43) with five RBI in his last 12 games. He is hitting .242 with two homers and 10 RBI in 17 May games.

David Murphy homers while hitting second
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:09 am ET) Rangers manager Ron Washington placed outfielder David Murphy in the No. 2 spot in the batting order for the second consecutive night Sunday. Murphy responded with his fifth home run of the season against the Tigers.

Murphy launched a three-run home run in the fifth inning that gave the Rangers a one-run lead. He finished 2 for 3 with two runs scored and four RBI in an 11-8 victory.

"I'm going to try to keep [Murphy] there so he doesn't have to wait around to get at-bats and he can be involved in the game right away," Washington told MLB.com before the game. "Maybe that'll start getting him going."

Murphy, who did not hit second at all last season, is hitting .215 with five homers and 16 RBI.

Omar Infante with two hits at leadoff spot
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:05 am ET) With Austin Jackson hurt and Andy Dirks out of the lineup, Tigers second baseman Omar Infante took over the leadoff spot Sunday against the Rangers.

"When you lead him off, you're leading him off because he's your only guy in that situation," manager Jim Leyland told MLB.com. "Normally I wouldn't have him leading off but, with the situation we're in, if you look at the lineup, who else would you lead off? ... The only other guy you'd think about is [Avisail] Garcia and I don't want to do that."

Infante finished 2 for 5 with two runs scored in an 11-8 defeat. He is hitting .313 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 144 at-bats.

Derek Holland hit hard in no-decision
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(12:03 am ET) Rangers starter Derek Holland endured a rough outing but did not factor in the decision of Sunday's 11-8 victory over the Tigers.

Holland, who made his ninth start of the season, surrendered a three-run home run to Miguel Cabrera in the third and a solo home run to Cabrera again in the fifth for his only damage of the night. The left-hander was charged with four runs and eight hits over 4 2/3 innings of work. He struck out six and walked three.

Holland has allowed four runs or more three of his last five starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at Seattle. He has not allowed a run in his last 16 2/3 innings pitched at Safeco Field.

Doug Fister settles for no-decision
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/19/2013) Tigers starting pitcher Doug Fister, who allowed two runs and struck out seven his last time out, was hit hard but did not factor in the decision of Sunday's 11-8 loss to the Rangers.

Fister, who made his ninth start of the season, surrendered a sacrifice fly in the second and four runs in the fourth, including a two-run double to Adrian Beltre. The right-hander was charged with five runs and nine hits over 4 2/3 innings of work. He struck out three and walked one.

Fister has allowed 10 runs -- nine earned -- over his last 7 2/3 innings of work away from home. He is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at home against the Twins. He went 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA in four starts against Minnesota last season.

Dustin Pedroia swinging a hot bat
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/19/2013) Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia enjoyed a big day at the plate as he unleashed his second home run of the season Sunday afternoon against the Twins.

Pedroia launched a two-run home run in the ninth inning to pad the lead for the Red Sox. He also drove in a run on a fielder's choice and finished 2 for 5 with two runs scored and three RBI in a 5-1 victory.

Pedroia has reached base safely in his last 14 games. He is hitting .446 (25 for 56) with two homers and nine RBI over that span. He has a .343/.432/.442 slash line 172 at-bats.

Will Venable launches sixth home run
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/19/2013) Padres outfielder Will Venable went deep for the sixth time this season during Sunday's series finale against the Nationals.

Venable uncorked a solo home run in the fifth off starter Dan Haren and doubled in a run in the seventh. He finished 2 for 5 with a run scored and two RBI in a 13-4 victory.

Venable is hitting .217 (5 for 23) with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in his last five games played. He has a .237/.308/.441 in 118 at-bats.

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/19/2013) Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera enjoyed another productive performance as he stole a base in his fifth consecutive game Sunday afternoon against the Nationals.

Cabrera singled in the first and the seventh. He stole two bases and finished 2 for 6 with two runs scored and two RBI in a 13-4 victory. He leads the majors with 17 stolen bags.
