Look, you can't be afraid to stop and ask for directions. Think of tiers like a map to guide you through your draft. Sure, rankings serve a similar purpose, but they don't have the nuance and subtlety of tiers -- the No. 5 first baseman looks just like the No. 5 second baseman, if you're just looking at the position ranks. Tiers can help tell you when and where to draft a given player, when to wait on a position, and when is the time to strike before you run out of viable options. Scott White has been working on his tiers since back in January, and we've got the latest update right here. Make sure you scroll all the way down in this email to see them all – all eight positions, right here in one place.

A giant gap has formed in the middle of the starting pitcher tiers.

The first five picks in most every draft will be outfielders, and the position is deep throughout.

The most star-studded position in Fantasy Baseball may well be shortstop.

Third base offers incredible depth from top to bottom.

First base is an aging position that's light on sleepers, but there are still enough bats to go around.

Second base has its upside plays, but it's the weakest of the infield positions.

Catcher will never be a strong position, but it offers surprising depth this year.

Changing attitudes toward the closer role has made for fewer bankable options at relief pitcher.
