So, I like tedious but fun but pointless but brag-worthy stuff. That's why I like Mock Drafts. So, why not share that with everyone? So let's start the first ever McCovey Chronicles MLB Mock Draft contest! (unless it's not the first...)
The rules are simple: Post the way you think that the first round will go. After the draft, we'll take a look and see who has the best prognosticating skills....or whomever should've bought a lottery ticket instead.
Scoring, I propose, should go this way:
Picks 1-10: 1 point each
Picks 11-20: 2 points each
Picks 21-32: 3 points each
Bonus: Giants 2nd Round Pick (#55): 5 points
Bonus: Giants 3rd Round Pick (#86): 5 points
I am certainly open to any suggestions on tweaking the rules. Posts should be done before the end of Monday next week, but if people are willing to allow posts up to the minute before the draft, I'm not picky.
Prize? Snarky bragging rights. Sorry, I have no funds for sponsoring something yet. But if this goes well...next year I'll see about getting a signed ball or something.
Have fun, guys and girls!
