As far as bats go, I'm pretty sure avoid k is a purely cosmetic stat that decides how many strike outs a player gets. I always look for guys with decent eyeratings. If a guy bats .270 but his on base is .290, he is useless to me.

Second look for defensive ability. If your team is made of poor defenders they will never win. I don't care what their positions are listed at on draft day. I look for guys with either high infield range or outfield range, or high catcher ability.

A player has to have a huge ceiling in his contact/gap/ power ratings for me to take them if they are a mediocre defender.
