I did no real prep, but I decided I would try a new drafting approach this year after the Alek Manoah fiasco from last year (he was my 2nd or 3rd round pick (and some other bust starting pitcher IIRC)

Drafted 8 position players first. They seem "surer" things.
Then drafted a starter, a few closers, and then made a run on starting pitchers for 8 picks in a row or something, before I went back to position players to close my team out.

Don't know if it will work - offensive depth could be an issue, and I will have no "star" starter.

My deep-dive analysis into my team after last night's draft:

"Meh".

Meh. Outside a couple pitchers it's a crap shoot to start the year. Guys who were bad for a few years might find a good groove for a year or guys who were very good just fall off.

Same with hitters, though pitching seems to be dependent on quality of team and run support.

I don't feel great about my team, which means I will probably go on a tear this year.

I got in a few seconds late and Bobby Witt was already drafted for me at #2. Not sure he would have been my choice but it could be much worse. But overall, I love my infield, outfield is wait and see, I think my relievers will be good, little nervous about my starting pitching.

Can we end the season now? This is the first, and well may be the last, day you'll find my team at the top of the standings...

Uh oh. Starting to hope that Ohtani is too big to be brought down...:

MLB has started an investigation. Not sure they can cover it up...
