If you ever wanted to know who was the master drafter in our history, you might be surprised to see that Matt Suer is the answer to that question. Matty hasn't ever made a deep playoff run but I think we might be able to explain his spot atop this list if you give me just a quick minute. For one, it's pretty tough to get a positive score for an individual draft so the fact that Matt's only done three drafts limits the possibility of him racking up the negative value picks compared to the rest of us. Secondly, Matt had a pretty good draft last year and hasn't killed himself with drafts in his Shocker career in my opinion. I think Matt needed a couple of seasons to figure this fantasy baseball thing out in terms of making smart in season moves and I think that's also why he hasn't turned good drafts into good final results yet. Now that we've spent enough time on Matty, let's break down the rest of us. I was a little surprised that Arch n' Rick aren't ranked a little higher because they generally have fielded strong teams throughout our history. Kevin seems to do his heavy lifting during the regular season on the waiver wire and trying to outlast his opponent with counting stats and timely acquisitions but he might want to rethink his power hitting/relief pitching focus when he drafts if he thinks these numbers above mean anything. I honestly can't draw any other conclusions with any sort of confidence because we've all had our share of good drafts and bad drafts and the differences within this table isn't large enough to make distinctions between one owner from the next. If we broke down each season in terms of draft scores and overall record, I think we'd see a connection but trying to determine our best and worst drafters based on this table above probably needs some more research to truly prove.
