This is rec ball. If you have 12 on a roster,
normally 6-7 are decent players and the rest
are and always will be rec-type players. It is the
bottom 5-6 players that need to be 'coached up'
as you cannot hide 5 outs in a lineup. Your rec team
is only as good as the bottom of the order.
This being said, we weigh our drafts like SOCALSoftballdad.
If you get 2 picks in round one, the points will even out and
you will pick last in round 2 and maybe round 3. Rec leagues
need even competition, it is no fun for the girls when one team
is stacked with travel players who beat up on everyone. From 12U
and up, we hold separate drafts for pitchers/catchers then position
players. It is, after all a pitcher/catchers' game in the older divisions.
