In the first mock draft of the Fantasy Baseball draft preparation season, my strategy was to build from the middle infield out. My thoughts behind this was due to the scarcity of middle infielders, and the surplus out outfielders. Here is what  we came up with

Evaluation

In this particular mock, I selected 12th overall out of 12 teams, and was happy with the result. However, one of the strategies was to wait on outfield, since the position is so deep. But, I would recommend taking at least two outfielders in the top 10 rounds because of the amount of outfielders needed. Whereas this is not a perfect draft, it could have been a lot worse.
