for those that are seasoned vets in this specific event, i could use some advice. i draft in about an hour. i pick 7th out of 10. scoring is based on hits, hr, batting avg, runs, stolen bases, rbis, total bases, game winning rbis, era, whip, saves, complete games, strikeouts, wins, batting average against and shutouts. what positions should i knock out first? thanks.
 

too bad!

If Halladay is there, most likely not, take him. Maybe short stop. Def not 1st base as it is deep.

No pitchers should be taken in the first 6 or 7 rounds, in my opinion. The weakest positions are 3B & 2B so I'd make sure to get a top 3 middle infielder. OF is extremely deep too.

Just my style but everyone is different.

if you have enough room on your DL to carry him till 2nd half. I dont like holding onto guys for that long because even if they come back, what if they start slowly?

and you have Cano already!
