Introduction
When devising your draft strategy for 2008, it is always a
good idea to take a step back from the details and get a look at the bigger
picture. If you base your draft
strategy on the fact of getting one or two key players to build around, then
you are putting yourself at a disadvantage in leagues that have a high
percentage of experienced and skilled fantasy baseball owners.
I developed the position scarcity chart as part of the
RotoRank system, and the following report can be easily generated at the click
of a button for any league configuration that RotoRank supports.
The following article details how I plan to use the Position
Scarcity Report in 2008.
