Click the link to check out my mock draft complete with in-depth assessments of each pick and each player drafted. I have the Indians taking college player Richie Shaffer. Feedback is much appreciated!

Seems like a long way off to be thinking about the draft.

Seems like a long way off to be considering the Indians’ postseason chances, too, but everyone needs a hobby.

I was going to mock this mock draft, but then I might be tempted to actually follow the link.

I thought this guy took his ball and went home weeks ago.

If this were a democracy, I’d vote this fanshot be deleted.

But thankfully LGT isn’t a democracy, so hopefully someone in the Gang of Four will see fit to bring down their authoritarian hand on this disruption in the Indians baseaball utopia that we have acheived largely through the ambivalance of our great leaders.

Long live LGT!

Also, he posted this link on every SB Nation MLB team site.

Yes

I did and there’s nothing wrong with that. I came to post legitimate information (31 scouting reports on potential mlb draftees). I’m sorry if I offended anyone and would gladly take it down if that’s what people would prefer.

I find fault with a lot of things, but I can’t see that you did anything especially objectionable here. I think our Indians baseball utopia can survive this FanShot.

Our leader shows both mercy and understanding!

LGT loves mock drafts. Simulated game results are now our enemy and always have been!

Long live LGT!

Have you ever been to any SBN football site? It’s Mock Draft Central!

That’s because the draft, at least for us Browns fans, is more exciting than the games.

Don’t get me wrong, I follow the MLB draft, but I usually wait until after we’ve made or picks to pay attention to who these guys are considering how many of them never make it to the bigs anyway.

I mean, I guess a lot of this is just arbitrary or down to taste, but I look at mock drafts as mostly harmless.

What makes the difference for me in this case is, it seems like the guy made a serious attempt to write good scouting reports. His take on what kind of player the Indians would take is not especially sophisticated, but neither is it wrongheaded. I guess I’m saying he cleared the effort-over-spam bar.

by Jay on Jan 17, 2012 9:48 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree. It was interesting to read even for the other players and teams.

by emd2k3 on Jan 18, 2012 10:16 AM EST up reply actions  

Perhaps, perhaps not.

The sig doesn’t help your credibility, though. One of the Top 5 most obnoxious I’ve ever seen.

by Jay on Jan 19, 2012 1:41 AM EST up reply actions  

Well

I’m not sure what else to say. I realize from my limited exposure that LGT is not a fan of sigs, which is completely understandable.

That said, I’ve had no other complaints on any other site about it and it’s quite the hassle to change it just to post on this site. I will keep it to this fanpost and not post elsewhere. Furthermore, I put about 20 hours of work into that mock draft, so I wasn’t slapping together a piece of crap to drive page traffic or anything in that vein.

The Browns need to trade up for RG3.

They won’t, thinking they can get by with McCoy.
