Given the inherent risks of the position and the diminished number of innings starting pitchers throw in today’s game, how you choose to construct your fantasy rotation during draft season could have a dramatic impact on how your team does in the year ahead.

Many will go with a balanced approach, selecting at least one ace in the first three rounds and supplementing their staffs with several pitchers from Tiers 3-5. Others will choose to take an aggressive approach, looking to come away with multiple pitchers from the top two tiers and perhaps even grabbing another from Tier 3. There’s also the “zero SP” strategy, wherein you avoid selecting a starter until the draft gets into the double-digit rounds.
