I agree with the approach suggested above. As to prospects, in an Expansion draft, I look for college guys who are closer to MLB-ready than prep guys who are still teenagers. My theory is that I need the talent sooner rather than later, as my initial draft choices will be a bit thin (due to established teams protecting their best players). But, in your scenario, if everybody is drafting at once, you should have a competitive bunch after a dozen rounds or so, so why not do a deep dive and choose some low floor but high ceiling high school guys? The only argument I can see for the more mature college guys is that your team could be better sooner. Not sure that incremental and temporary benefit would be worth passing up blue chips.
