Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy

Fantasy Pros 911:

"Simply going into a draft and “taking the best player available” is not likely to result in a competitive team. The primary reason is that by focusing on players, you are not focusing on positions. The end result is a team that is strong at some categories and positions, but decidedly weak in others."

Of course, the whole point is to accumulate the most stats. Strengths and weaknesses at positions is not.

I do tend to agree though. However, I'm not taking a SS after the top handful or so are gone and passing on Vladimir Guerrero or Hideki Matsui as my UT. The difference in production is too great.
