Eno and DVR continue their position preview series with UT/Utility players -- where a potential choice with the first overall pick awaits thanks to Shohei Ohtani. In addition to a trio of early-round sluggers to consider, there are late-round considerations that could emerge to qualify at new positions in-season.
