Any advice on that?
Do you want to win now or later?

Each prospect you draft early is one less good major league player on your roster. And the first 26 don't necessarily have to be on your MLB roster. If you draft a minor league prospect yeah, he'll show up on the MLB roster at first but you can simply send him to the minors

I don't start drafting prospects until I have my starting 8 and at least half my pitching staff set.
