Okay. I've read a couple of threads here, and have decided to start with the APA league quick start game.
Perhaps a smaller game universe will make things a little simpler. Plus completing an inaugural draft will give me a chance to get to grips with the scouting model and what to look for in prospects.
One question.
When drafting a team from scratch what elements do people find important in terms of building a good base. Are there certain positions I should look to fill early on. I'm assuming an excellent starting pitcher would be important.
But from there would I focus on filling infield positions and are any of these more important than others to try and fill first?
Any other draft tips?
