One thing that's consistently true about our annual Head-to-Head points salary cap draft (also known as an auction): Nobody wants to live in the middle.

The studs all command a premium, blowing out my already generous salary projections as every bid becomes a sort of dare to abandon all budget discipline. (Topping the charts in this draft, unsurprisingly, was Ronald Acuna, whose $67 salary was $18 more than anyone else.)

But as the high-ends push higher and higher and our budgets stretch further and further, little of our $260 allotment remains for what's normally the heart of the draft.

And so, removed from that context, bids like Matt McLain for $12, C.J. Abrams for $8, Joshua Lowe for $7 and Ketel Marte for $7 seem like ridiculous values. In a certain respect, they are. But the goal of a salary cap draft -- or any draft, for that matter -- isn't actually to make the most efficient use of one's resources. It's to lay a winning foundation.

The Head-to-Head points format is the most forgiving format, not only in the sense that all statistical contributions go into the same scoring bucket, but also in the sense that everything is replaceable. Each team starts only 16 players (nine hitters and seven pitchers), and in all, only 252 players are rostered. What it means is that there are fewer ways for a roster to go wrong and more possible solutions when it does.

With more than enough good players to go around, it's not enough to have merely good players. What you need are great players, the kind that you'd never dream of swapping for anything on the waiver wire, fertile though it may be, and that you'd give up a third of your roster to acquire midseason. As many studs as possible -- that's the winning foundation in a league so shallow -- and those who fare best are those who trust themselves to fill in the gaps on the cheap, whether that's during the draft itself or off the waiver wire over the course of the year.

How do I know? The headline may call it a mock, but this draft is for an actual league that we play out every year. And most of us keep coming back for more.

Just a few more observations before we get to the results:

  • I've mentioned some of the discounts for mid-range targets already, but others on the slightly higher end include Bo Bichette for $19, Adolis Garcia for $15 and Randy Arozarena for $15. Bryson Stott and Anthony Santander for $1 each were the most extreme values of all, and as with any salary cap draft, the timing of their nominations played a role in them going for what they did. But I'll note that both have clear limits to their upside that make them no more than respectable starters, which is not much higher than replacement level in this format.
  • Clearly, our dollars were designated for the most impactful players, which generally don't include catchers and relief pitchers. They're not the highest scorers to begin with, and when you factor in that only 12 of the former and 24 of the latter are started, with little reason for any team to carry a backup, there's an obvious surplus as well. Catcher and relief pitcher values were among the most suppressed in the middle tiers, then, with examples including William Contreras for $9, Willson Contreras for $1, Camilo Doval for $6 and David Bednar for $4.
  • Adding to the surplus at relief pitcher in this format are starting pitchers with relief pitcher eligibility. They can be used in lieu of closers and even have a chance of outscoring them over a full season. You'll notice Chris Towers tried to corner the market for those, drafting five (Chris Paddack, Frankie Montas, Sean Manaea, Reynaldo Lopez and Cody Bradford).
  • The position that held its value even through the middle stages of the draft was starting pitcher. More are required in this format given the advantages of streaming, particularly for two-start weeks.You may be less impressed with the values there.
  • Speaking as someone who's won the league in three of its eight years in existence, I'm satisfied with the way my team turned out. I wanted two of the top nine outfielders for about $40 each and had to settle for just one (Fernando Tatis) at $45. I also wanted Matt Olson for about $40 but had to fall back on Vinnie Pasquantino ($11), distributing the savings between shortstop (Corey Seager) and third base (Alex Bregman). Pasquantino's plate discipline gives him a chance to be a stud in this format if he can overcome the Royals lineup and last year's shoulder surgery, but seeing Christian Walker go for $11 and Triston Casas for $10 made the Pasquantino purchase probably my least favorite.
  • Three participants -- Greg Lathrop, Chris Mitchell and Kayla Walz -- may have been scared off by some of the biggest bids because they ended up having more money than they needed to dominate the middle portion of the draft. Rather than leave money on the table, Greg threw all his remaining dollars at Nate Lowe, which is why the first baseman's cost ended up being so high.
