As a temporary member of this group I'll take a short jab at that - keep on picking the best player on the board until for as long as you can. By 'best' I mean the ones with long careers and a number of All Star caliber seasons coming up.

Eventually - sooner than you like - the talent pool is going to thin out to the point where there's not much difference between available ss A, B, C, D & E.

For me I'd rather pick an average ss with 5-6 full or near-full seasons than a better ss with only a season or two . I don't like to put myself in the position of having to draft for a lot of posiitons in season 3 because I've loaded my roster with a bunch of short termers in the inaugural draft.

I have noticed that everyone grabs pitchers. well by the time it rolled around to me most of the good long term guys were gone thus I went for a hard to fill position. ergo catcher. can't be too many guys with a long decent career at catcher. thanks for your input sheller.

Sorry juice, I gotta run... I almost drafted P - Herb Pennock last round, so I'm glad to take him now.
