I always draft best player available. Always. If the top guy when I pick is a catcher 4 rounds in a row, I'm drafting 4 catchers. I also tend to shy away from HS players and kids with poor work ethic/attitudes in the early rounds. I play with injury ratings hidden but I would also avoid injury prone guys early, as well. I really wish OOTP would have a mentor/tutor system like Football Manager does to help improve personalities.

When it comes to rounds 20+, I will start taking guys who are good at only one or two things instead of more rounded players. I figure that a guy who has elite speed, or a tremendous glove, or a dominant curve ball, or can play 7 positions has a better chance of developing into a useful bench piece over a guy that needs to moderately raise most or all of his tools to succeed.
