A mock draft where you actively avoid discussion about players who are already picked, for fear that you might not get another player (on your mock team) has to be one of the most useless things I've ever heard of.

Okay...now you’ve shamed me. LOL
Here’s a list of the late round (20th and beyond) snipes:
Cueto
G.Richards
Hilliard
Matz
Mahle
Tapia
Peralta
Jose Martinez
I had hoped these players would last a bit longer in a MLB league.
Pairing Oberg and Wade Davis on the turn is brilliant in a best ball league where you don't have to worry about which of them to start in a given week.
Thanks, although I wouldn’t describe any of my moves as brilliant. LOL
The Rox closer/setup was definitely a format pairing, and I deliberately passed on closers early hoping to leverage the turn later, for something like this. I’m not sure I’d have done that in a normal Roto league, where Davis’ 2019 numbers were brutal.
What I have learned from this mock is that MLB is rich in replacement level players. I can't believe that were in the mid 20's rounds of a 15 team mixed and I still have player in my queue that I wouldn't be ashamed to roster. Only's are a different story though...

That mock was a good exercise. I'm listing the teams I think did the best (purposefully leaving mine out) and the ones I think are problematic. Note that I evaluated it based on roto so I didn't include any of the teams that punted closer (that can still work, obviously, but I'm not a fan of it and didn't think it worked completely here).
