A SMART DRAFT FOR 2007: THINK OUTFIELD

This is a guide to how to draft a good team for this season. Some positions are weaker than others and we took this into account as we strategized. Here is a good draft that will beat most teams. Outfield is not a deep position so loading up on it early is key. I see a sleeper in Steven Drew at SS and getting Uggla, the second best 2B and Mccann, the second best catcher was the key to having a consistently deep team. The relievers Putz, Lidge, and Saito are solid and the starters with Patterson coming back are a solid group led by Webb. This team would roll! At twelve you could take Nick Johnson or Gonzalez at first base and not taken Glaus if you want to use Berkman in the outfield. This would not hurt this draft.
