Fantasy football season is here. Across the country, friends, family and co-workers are prepping their big boards for 16-team PPR superflex dynasty leagues. We here at Golf Digest even held our office draft this week, battling for the best sure-things, sleepers and busts to fill out our make-believe rosters. Our draft order was decided randomly, but perhaps we should have taken a page out of the Philadelphia Phillies’ book, who held a closest-to-the-pin contest during BP on Tuesday to determine the order of their team fantasy draft. Check it out.

The Phillies are one of the best teams in baseball this year, locked in a dead heat with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League’s top-seed. Judging by the swings on display here, they’re also one of majors’ best golf squads. There’s a lot of smooth moves in that lineup, but only one came out on top—catcher J.T. Realmuto.

We’ll see what J.T. decides to do with the top pick—we’re guessing he’ll go with Christian McCaffrey just like the rest of the world. If Realmuto can’t turn that number-one-overall selection into a league championship, however, we’re sure he’ll be able to make his money back on the golf course.
