Timing Is Everything

Todd & Everyone:
When looking at the adjustments made to value systems, regardless of which system, I was having the debate in my head of WHEN is the most appropriate time to make adjustments for Positional Scarcity. Before or After a player's value is calculated?
Should the hitters stats be valued by position (24 catchers, 12 1B, etc) before coming up with their value and then make your replacement level adjustment according to position?
Or should the hitters stats be valued based on the entire pool of starting players (ie 168 traditional) and then make your replacement level adjustment according to position?
I'm talking myself in circles coming up with reasons why both are correct so hopefully someone can help me make sense of this.
