Scout and Razzball teamed up to bring you 12-team mixed league slow drafts, and, when I say slow, I mean that I've seen paint dry faster and with more upside. It's exactly like our 12-team, mixed Razzball Commenter League drafts (there still might be a few spots), but in this league there's two catchers, no waivers and 44 rounds. So, I guess, it's really not that similar to the RCLs. No waivers changes everything. I would never draft two top starters in a regular mixed league, let alone one in a 12 team league, but when you can't pick up a starter off waivers or stream, it changes the dynamic. You can't worry about upside as much as you need to make sure you have innings when a rash of injuries hits. Same with hitters. Upside is nice, but at-bats are even nicer when you lose five outfielders to injuries in July. This kind of leagues makes John Jaso Jingleheimer Schmidt and Tyler Flowers appealing. Dot dot dot. Okay, nothing makes Tyler Flowers appealing. Anyway, here's my 12-team, mixed league draft recap:
