Who doesn’t want to draft every Sunday of the fantasy baseball season? Well then, pop on over to DRAFT.com and join a 3, 4, 6 or even 10 player draft. I’ve been playing around over there a bit this first week plus and depending on which size draft your choose will determine how you attack the draft. I’ve been using the principles of Value Based Drafting or VBD to draft my teams. This means taking the projected points for the final player drafted at each position (P, IF, OF) and subtracting from all the players at that position, then re-ranking based on VBD. This is especially easy to pull off if you have subscribed to Rudy’s Tools. If not, you can use the same principles with your own rankings. All that being said, there are three top pitchers on the slate today with Shohei Ohtani, Kershaw and Morton. Ohtani is my top target, because, why not at this point? Ohtani has done nothing but live up to the hype so far with his fastball checking in at the highest velocity among all starting pitchers so far this year. That said, if I were playing a 3 man draft, I’d pass on pitcher until my final pick. In the 4, 6 and especially 10 player drafts though, I’d boost these three up a bit to make sure I nabbed one and would be inclined to reach a tad for Ohtani. Let’s look at a few more early, middle and late round picks for your Draft…drafts!
