A group of Red Sox fans participated in a multi-day fantasy draft of the best players in Boston history. All 20 fans assembled a 25-man roster, resulting in 500 total drafted players. With so many selections, all of the biggest names in Sox history went off the board. From Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski to Pedro Martinez and Cy Young, each roster is loaded with all-time greats.
Before the league officially begins its 162-game schedule, we're reviewing each team's draft, including analysis from some owners. For a quick refresher on SimLeague Baseball or an overview of the league rules, check out our first-round breakdown.
