If you’re like me, every year you spend a good amount of time creating the cheat sheet of all cheat sheets, devising the ultimate draft strategy, and using mock drafts to handle any and all curve balls that might come your way. Yet every year you still end up hitting the panic button a few times during your draft when the clock is ticking and you just can’t decide who to take. Sound familiar? We built something to help me, so I hope it helps you too.
 
Introducing our Who Should I Draft? tool. Just plug in any two players and you’ll instantly get a summary of recommendations from all the experts and sources we track. You can use this during your draft to make a quick decision (that’s hopefully more accurate than a coin toss), or as a draft prep tool to help you rank and tier players with more confidence.
 
Here’s an example (click on the link): Help me decide between Ian Kinsler and Dustin Pedroia!
 
Use the summary picks to make a quick decision, or compare the projected stats to make a more precise decision (e.g. I’m in desperate need of speed so which guy is going to help me fill that gap more?). If you’re just preparing for your draft, spend a few seconds checking out the detailed Picks tab to see which player your favorite experts like. You can also check out the advice on the Notes tab (warning, cliff-notes style reading required). If you still can’t decide which guy is better, dust off your lucky coin or ask your best friend…and then do the opposite.
 
You can access the tool through our main navigation link called Draft Advice. Give it a try and let us know what you think. We hope it helps!
