Mar 20, 2018, 10:25 PM Injuries are an unfortunate reality in both real baseball and the fantasy game. When they happen during spring training, there's uncertainty for real and fantasy managers alike.
News of Justin Turner 's wrist injury broke not long before our experts assembled for our latest mock draft, and he lasted several rounds past his pre-injury average draft position. There was discussion in our draft chat as to when Turner would come off the board, and eventually Kyle Soppe scooped him up just outside of the top 100. Because this is a mock, Soppe can test out how his team looks with an injured Turner and see if that's something he'd do in a real draft. That is a perfect example of why everyone should mock draft ahead of their real drafts.
With that in mind, head to our mock draft lobby , and do a mock of your own! While you wait between picks, check out our latest mock below.
The drafters for this mock: Tristan H. Cockcroft, Kyle Soppe, Daniel McCarthy, AJ Mass, Ben Arledge, Damian Dabrowski, Dan Mullen, Pierre Becquey, Leo Howell and Eric Karabell.
