What is Desinty Draft?

Instead of drafting from the entire MLB universe, Spoon cracks open a pack (or stack) of baseball cards and whatever names appear become the available draft board.

Destiny Draft is Baseball Expats’ ongoing fantasy-style draft series built around one simple idea: the cards decide the player pool.

Instead of drafting from the entire MLB universe, Spoon cracks open a pack (or stack) of baseball cards and whatever names appear become the available draft board. Then we build teams from that limited pool and track the results over a fixed window.

How it works

  1. Spoon opens the cards
    The players pulled from the pack become the eligible draft pool for that round.
  2. We run a snake draft
    We draft teams in a classic snake format (the pick order reverses each round).
  3. We score it over a short window
    Each Destiny Draft round runs for a set period (usually two weeks). We track points based on player performance during that window only.
  4. We post the live scoreboard
    The scoreboard is updated so you can follow along, talk trash, and pretend you would’ve drafted better.

Scoring (simple version)

We use a points-based scoring system that rewards the obvious stuff:

  • Hitters: getting on base and doing damage (hits, extra-base hits, homers, RBIs, steals)
  • Pitchers: outs and dominance (innings, strikeouts, wins/saves/holds depending on role)

The full scoring breakdown lives on the scoreboard page so it’s always up to date.

Where to follow it

  • Live scoreboard
  • Round posts: each round gets its own recap and running leaderboard on the site.
