Ninja,
Totally disagree bud. Here is my thinking...let me know where you see flawed thought (seriously..because i haven't had my draft yet)

(according to CBS Sportsline) the # 34, 35 and 36 outfielders (so, would be starting in a 12 team league) are:

Jason Bay
Johnny Damon
Jeremy Hermida

If you wait and think you can fill the OF out too late and some other guys goes OF in 3 of the first 4 rounds...you could have those guys going up against the Sizemore, Granderson, and Vernon Wells (tried to pick 3 guys that you could get in consecutive rounds) as an example. You just get dominated there...whereas a position like 2B

#1 = Chase Utley
#12= Polanco

I see less of a dropoff in production there than in the outfield.

3rd Base
Well, yes you have Arod (although Deserve can't draft him)
#12 = Alex Gordon (or Blalock or Glaus or Mark Reynolds)

Again, i think the production there is better if you wait than if you wait on an OF

SS
#1 = Reyes
#12 = Renteria (or Hardy or Drew)

You lose steals but are you worse with Reyes vs. Renteria or Johnny Damon vs. Sizemore or Crawford.

Let me know what you think...I know you're a sports junkie!
