All right, NL. Let's see what you got.

Our first look at the AL player pool just a few days ago offered its own revelations, not the least of which was the predicament created by having so many unsigned players at this stage of draft prep season. Predictably, all of the impactful free agents (J.D. Martinez, Yu Darvish, Eric Hosmer, etc.) went for discounts in this draft, for fear of them signing with an AL club and becoming totally worthless.

But the biggest takeaway this time around was just how weak the infield is. 

Not at first base. No, the NL is the league with all the good first baseman -- the elite four and then Cody Bellinger for good measure. It's why I was put in the unfortunate position of having to take two at the Round 1 turn. Freddie Freeman and Anthony Rizzo were far and away the best hitters available, but they were also the easiest of the first-round hitters to pass over.

Filling my utility spot so early didn't turn out to be a big deal, given the way the rest of my picks lined up, but part of me wonders if I should've played the position-scarcity game – one that's becoming less and less relevant in standard mixed leagues – and grabbed Corey Seager with my second pick, filling the shortstop void. Because after him and Trea Turner ... egad.

Trevor Story is my No. 3 shortstop on the NL side. Amed Rosario is my No. 6. Dansby Swanson my No. 8. That's gross. It's not much better at second base or even third base, where the drop-off after the top five or six is pretty intense. And if your goal on Draft Day is to distance yourself from your opposition at as many positions as possible, you don't want to wait too long to fill those spots.

So who was my opposition in this draft? See for yourself:

  1. Phil Ponebshek, Patton & Company
  2. Danny Cross, Creativesports
  3. malamoney, Razzball
  4. Mike Kuchera, The Fantasy Man
  5. Keith Farnsworth, Baseball Prospectus
  6. Chris Towers, CBS Sports
  7. R.J. White, CBS Sports
  8. Matt Snyder, CBS Sports
  9. Adam Aizer, CBS Sports
  10. Scott White, CBS Sports
