Post subject:  Dream Draft Strategies

I'm going to start a new season soon and I'm going to do a dream draft. I thought that it would be a good idea to put up a thread for all Power Pro fans to use when they do a Dream Draft.
My tips:
ALWAYS register created players AFTER the draft. Otherwise you'll lose them in the draft.
Draft Albert Pujols first, unless you have some insanely good edited player you want to draft first.
Save and reload until you get the players you want (within reason).
Chase Utley and Brian McCann (C con A pow 2B and B con A pow Catcher) are available until the fifth round. It would make sense to draft one 3rd and the next 4th, unless you were lucky enough to get Robinson Cano in the second round (rare, but happens)
Very good shortstops, catchers, left fielders, and second basemen go quickly.
I suggest having a success mode third baseman and/or shortstop. Mike Schmidt (3B) is a good choice. (Search the site for his password)
If you can get Pujols, Utley, and McCann, you'll have all the power you'll need. For the rest of the draft, go with speedsters, contact hitters, defensive wizards, and pitchers, of course. (If you can snatch a guy like Juan Rivera later, grab him)
You can get David DeJesus (good CF) in the 6th or 7th round I think - somebody verify this
You can get Juan Rivera (C con A pow RF, can play all three OF positions decently, and very cheap) at about the same time as DeJesus.
Felix Hernandez - often available as a 2nd round pick - EXTREMELY valuable (especially after a few seasons)
If anybody has more tips go ahead and post! This is for the benefit of everybody!

A few good pitchers tend to stay around for a while in the draft.

just to expand on this i know its not worth having giambi, i figured that out my first season, and manny ramirez (especially when on the same team...haha, i was learning) due to money issues, but are there any other players you would stay away from for various reasons. i got bay and tiexiera on my new team to replace them for about half the price and they are just a good. also who do u think is the best pitcher. haha i've got a lot of questions, i'm kinda new to the game, but thanks!
