June Amateur Draft:

You always want to draft the best player available regardless of position. Trade surplus to fill holes in major league roster.

Usually the best players are 2-way players (offense & defense), the most athletic or those that play up the middle (C, SS, CF, 2B).

If you have an infield player who doesn't have soft hands (infield error 50 or below), move them to the outfield. Errors will cost you games.

No matter the pitcher, they MUST have good movement or they will get hammered!.

Choose a draft philosophy and STICK TO IT! (The Cardinal Way)! By doing so, you can withstand injuries as well as free agent defections. Make sure your trades & free agent signings ALIGN with that philosophy. It will take a few years but you will see the results in multiple division titles & hopefully championships. Hope this helps.
