How does one determine which players will have impact before it

Posted By DanB

I, too am tempted to label it a very deep draft, but I'm wondering about the basis of my evaluation. In this age of payroll disparity is there more focus on prospects for the OAK's and MIN's of MLB? Are there simply more internet sites and therefore more words written about prospects than ever? Or am I just jacked about rookies 'cause my Karmas in K17 have 3 number 1's?

While we're on this, let me pose another question: How do you compare the value of a #1 rookie pick versus the value of a #1 free agent pick? 2 obvious differences are the average ages of players and the complete random order of FA picks. Curious what other factors come into play.
