Editor's Note: We'll roll out our final batch of positional ranking tiers next week, ahead of the final weekend of Draft Season. For now, here are Scott White's updated tiers to help you through your draft.  

This position is among the toughest to tier.

I want Trout all alone at the top because ... he's all alone at the top. But the next two drop-offs are distinct enough that I'd rather tier him with the other five first-round outfielders than have to tier J.D. Martinez with Christian Yelich or Marcell Ozuna with Chris Taylor. I mean, I have only so many tiers to work with.

So let's just agree, regardless of how that five-man tier may look, that Trout deserves to go No. 1. OK? OK.

Obviously, those middle tiers are enormous by comparison, but keep in mind you're going to be drafting at least three outfielders and maybe as many as six, depending on your format. The tiers approach normally calls for you to target the position where only one or two players remain from the active tier, but at this position, you may want to draft multiple players from the same tier.

Looking at the distribution, though, you probably won't have that option with the early tiers.
