It’s getting to be that time again, the winter meetings are over and the hot stove is running at full throttle. Some leagues are requiring your keepers to be set and your buddy wants to trade you Troy Glaus and a draft pick for Albert Pujols. To make this decision a little easier for you, some Cafe members decided to get together and share their thoughts on where they are ranking players at this point. Rankings are going to change as Spring Training gets closer and trades are made. However, for those of you who need to set those keepers now or get your buddy to stop bothering you about a trade, here are some rankings to help you out. Each position has been ranked and any player who was not ranked by a member was given the last number assigned. We hope this will help some of you, and enjoy!
