Since my intention was to play this dynasty with average 1980s modifiers, my draft strategy was to maximize contact/AVK at the late and control and movement on the bump. That has worked for me in the past. In this dynasty, I'm using neutral(1.000) modifiers, but the team should perform about the same. With 48 NABO teams and 30 MLB teams worth of players in the draft, depth is rare.

Edit: I utilized the "fictional contract" feature before the draft began.

I contemplated taking a SP in R1 due to the limited supply, and trying to get someone like Dansby Swanson in R2 ... but with Mookie Betts available in R1, a true 5 tool player, with the ability to play SS/OF ... I had to take him.

Nola was simply the best SP available.

Sticking to the infield, Albies is a very good player at a limited position.

In a draft that's running out of good SP rather quickly, Bello could be an above average SP with potential to develop even more.

Arenado rounds out the infield focus at 3B. Not the player he once was, he provides good defense, adequate power, and good contact.
