Typically, I start off sorting by potential rating, and my focus is 100% on best player available, regardless of position in the earlier rounds.
SInce you get a handful of players listed on the page at the time, I'll take my time and sort through the scouting reports (yes, this does take some time), and see if any player catches my eye. If one player jumps out at me, I take him. If I'm still unsure after that, I ask my scouting director's opinion on who to take, and then I review that player. If that player seems comparable to what was at the top of the board, then I take my scout's recommended player.
Once it gets to the later rounds, I focus more on position. I like to draft as many catchers, shortstops, and center fielders as possible. If I don't like those players, I look at second basemen, third basemen and right fielders next. I try to find good character players who have at least one skill that's rated decent or better. I look at contact, power, speed, and defensive ability in that order. If any pitchers catch my eye, I try to take any starting pitchers that may be left, and if they don't develop in the minors, maybe I can turn them into relief pitchers.
