Of course, Top 300 rankings aren’t glorified mock drafts (you can do that yourself here in mere minutes), nor do they differentiate between player tiers at positions (we can help you there). They just give you a general sense of how to weigh position/category scarcity and player production. The truth is once a draft starts and the first few rounds finish up, it’s “anything goes” until the end of the draft. Team needs and individual player preferences trump whatever a Top 300 says.

Once you draft your starters and you’re building depth, you’ll likely target a lot of OFs (especially ones with multi-position eligibility) and pitchers, but for those in deep leagues that play an MI and CI or two-catcher leagues, all positions will be in play until the end of the draft, which is why we try to balance our Top 300.
