Actually it felt deep in 15 team mixed drafts/auctions this year. How deep of a bench do you have? What are the top few names available? I'd think there would be a ton in 12 team mixed.

Now granted, it may be that lots of OFers are underperforming so far, but I don't really even consider that yet since sample sizes are too small to draw any conclusions from at this point.

A score of 5.65 on the ESPN player rater gets you into the overall top 50. There are 14 OF above that score. I guess that's a little light.

hmmm, seems just almost perfect to me, there were 15 OFers in the top 50 in ADP

[e] - like me, you may be crazy...but, yeah, OF is pretty thin.

Seems a little thin right now, but it should get better eventually. Some big call ups possible by June, some sooner. Acuna will be up soon. Calhoun should be up soon enough. Jimenez and Tucker could make it up by then as well. Could see Austin Meadows and Anthony Alford up too. David Dahl if they can find the room.

Also, 1B kinda sucks after the top tier, so a lot of people are playing Hoskins at 1B. Dee Gordon is probably at 2B. So even the top 15 OF aren't all being used there.

My 10 team league has crap OF on the waiver wire too. But, ya know, 10 team league.

But how many of those rookies will produce decent numbers?

Seven.

Seven.

If one of them is Austin Hays, I'll be very happy.

I suspect you're right...I'm hoping Santander moves from bad to entirely useless, and Rasmus remains useless and the Orioles are out of it by June. I think that's his only chance.
