So, I'll keep it short and simple. I am a master at fantasy football and have decided to this year try fantasy baseball. It's my first year that I'm going to take it seriously (I've done it in the past and quit halfway through -- it's like having a 2nd job).

Question is; How do you draft adequately? It's a head to head, mixed league.. league.

I'm guessing first round you take the absolute machines first no matter what position they are... then what? Advice would be great, I'm in 3 leagues all for $.

In Head to Head, you want to dominate certain categories.
And the categories you dominate mainly come from your first pick.
For example, if you select Ryan Howard, the categories you want are HR/Runs/RBIs.
Just punt SB and AVG so target players who contribute mostly to the above cats.

Never draft a closer early.
I don't remember the statistics, but about a little less than half of all mlb teams experienced a change in closers.
If you're just aggressive on the waivers, you can get some quality closers/saves.

Depending on the number of people in your leagues, you have to draft differently.
If there's a large number (12+), you have to draft mainly on upside and put more on a premium of shallower positions.
If there's a smaller number, just draft the best available player that fits your strategy.

Oh and I'm assuming your leagues are using the standard 5x5 format.

Takahashi played pretty well for the Mets when they played the Tigers? last weekend after he relieved Perez, hes pretty damn good at throwing in the strike zone. Ive only watched a couple of innings, not sure if they are gonna keep him as a reliever or have him start. Not including Santana, Maine, Olli Perez, and Pelfrey are inconsistent. After the 3rd/4th inning they start walking everyone or throw a terrible game to begin with, though Im not entirely updated on their new bullpen.

edit: Also cant totally put the blame on them since everyone decent or good on the Mets either plays injured or is out for the season.
