    SS - pretty steep drop-off after the top few SS... can't put rollins in that category atm...you may be better off to wait if you cant land a top tier

    2B- a few question marks, but it the position seems pretty deep(at least the top 7 or 8)

    C - For the first time in a few years now, catcher seems deeper IMO. especially with the emergence of posey and carlos santana

    SS, 3B, C

    I never mind having a bad catcher. When people take Brian McCann in the 4th round I'll take Adam Dunn and get more production. There are always catchers out there at the end of the draft. SS is very weak this year. 3B is weaker than 2B imo since there is a steep dropoff after the top 4. Youk will be in there soon, but the rest have question marks. Beltre will most likely hit .270-.280, not the .300+ we saw last year. Is Aramis Ramirez close to being done or was last year just a down year? Will Michael Young hit 2nd or 6th? Hitting 6th will severely hurt Young.

    ss, of, ci,

    ss is so scarce it doesnt matter. im not gonna get tulow or hanley so im punting the position, nobody gets a good ss without paying the price...

    of- we start 6 outfielders so the scarcity matters. after grady sizemore we draft 20 more starters...ouch. ill get 3 OFs with my first 6 picks...

    ci- this positions scarcity has been underrated for years, but its awful this yr. ill get 2 of these in my 1st 6 picks. and my 3rd in the 8th..ish. and ill even try to fill my utility spot with one in the 10th if billy butler or an equivalent is available... because i think its the best position to build a team around, but also because i want to make the position even thinner for the other owners.

    i think outfield is really thin this year regardless of how many you start. i think everybody should be trying to double up on top 8 OFs. after that you can always find somebody, but getting your first OF in the 4th ex.. mccutcheon, and second in the 7th ex.. jay bruce is pretty rough for a position most think you can wait on.
