Position Players or Pitchers????

[BstonBruin]

Early rounds of a draft? Would you rather get the position players or the pitchers? Or what round to start getting pitchers in

Thanks

i usually go for value when debating a hitter/batter pick. this year, i am going mainly hitters in the first 4-5 rounds. i think the draft will be deep with SP. however, if there is a great pitcher that slips for some odd reason, i'd probably take SP. i think it can be really easy to take a sexy pick like Prior late in rd 1 or early rd 2, but i think that a 1st round hitter is better than a 4th round hitter, while a 1st/2nd round pitcher may not have much of a lead over a 4th rd pitcher.

I agree. Through nine rounds of my current draft, I've only taken one SP and 2 RP. There's still a lot of pitching talent on the board, but the offense is drying up quickly.

In my last draft, I only took 3 pitchers in the first ten rounds and still ended up with Hudson, Nomo, Zambrano, L. Hernandez, K. Wells, Ponson, Redman, Lohse, and Armas, Jr. My offense however is outstanding.
