I love this round. There is a lot of talent in Round 7. Looking at it now, I think the first closer run should happen in Round 7 instead of Round 6. But, it probably won't. Plan accordingly.
Round 8
85. Hideki Matsui OF, New York Yankees
86. Jeffrey Francoeur OF, Atlanta Braves
87. Fausto Carmona SP, Cleveland Indians
88. Daisuke Matsuzaka SP, Boston Red Sox
89. Robert Jenks RP, Chicago White Sox
90. Carlos Zambrano SP, Chicago Cubs
91. Aaron Rowand OF, San Francisco Giants
92. Torii Hunter OF, Minnesota Twins
93. Jason Bay OF, Pittsburgh Pirates
94. Adrian Beltre 3b, Seattle Mariners
95. Richard Hill SP, Chicago Cubs
96. Chad Cordero RP, Washington Nationals
I like this round, also. Everyone is going to be drafting a player that's going to play for them every day, the entire year in Round 8, so pick carefully. These next few rounds are really where you make or break your team. A lot depends on whether you choose to fill positions or pick the best talent available. I think you are still picking the best talent available at this point.
Round 9
97. Matthew Capps RP, Pittsburgh Pirates
98. Johnny Damon OF, New York Yankees
99. Christopher Young OF, Arizona Diamondbacks
100. Delmon Young OF, Minnesota Twins
101. Jason Isringhausen RP, St. Louis Cardinals
102. Manuel Corpas RP, Colorado Rockies
103. Jose Valverde RP, Arizona Diamondbacks
104. Kevin Gregg RP, Florida Marlins
105. Joakim Soria RP, Kansas City Royals
106. Adrian Gonzalez 1b, San Diego Padres
107. Bradley Hawpe OF, Colorado Rockies
108. Jermaine Dye OF, Chicago White Sox
Closer Run 2.0 happens in Round 9, where teams realize that they can get an edge in saves if they pick a second closer with a job coming out of spring training, and teams without a closer need to get their first. If you notice though, the teams that resist this second closer run get solid OF's.

Love A. Gonzalez in the 9th.
hate blog entries with bullshit mock drafts.
hey, anonymous is my name!
Seems like a lot of guys sliding in your draft... Morneau, DLee, Zambrano, Valverde....
I couldn't agree more...I love fantasy sports, but this blog sucks when it has posts about mock drafts.
Hate to be a debbie downer- but your blog is pretty bad when you post about this stuff. Very lame.
allright, allright. No more baseball posts.
I disagree, I like the baseball posts. Although Morneau in the 7th is a bit much
Who the fuck are these anonymous assholes reading your blog, Hansen? You should straighten them out.
