We are up to the first baseman as we continue with our
position draft strategy for 2017 fantasy baseball and flat out, this is where
you want to go when it comes to finding a major dose of your team’s power. One of our sacred draft commandments is to
almost guarantee yourself of having a first baseman by the end of Round 2, so
important is it to get a top thumper there.
What makes this so important as well is that the rest of your league
knows this as well and so they too will be going hard after a slugging first
baseman among the top 24 selections. So
in order to not be left behind when it comes to formulating your team compared
to the rest of your league, you need to be full-bore into this position right
away.
In addition, it would be a great idea to double-dip here as
well when it comes to securing your UTIL or CI spot. Grabbing a second slugging first baseman to
fill your UTIL or CI spot is a great idea as you really will cement your power
numbers going that route. Just be sure
not to go too early when making that choice as you want to have some roster
flexibility with your picks and clogging up the UTIL or CI spot too early
removes that ability.
It seems to me that 3B is mich deeper than 1B this year. I'd rather double dip there in the first three rounds since the tradition is to focus on 1B. Sometimes it's better to zig when everyone else is zagging
