2008 Positional Rankings

Every season, Cafe members disclose their personal rankings for the community to see, use, and critique. To compile these rankings, 11 Cafe members got together and ranked each position individually. By doing this, you get an overall sense of the rankings, as well as witnessing the personal preferences of different rankers. Hopefully these will be helpful to you come draft day.

The average ranking is the average of all of the members rankings. If someone was left unranked, they were given a last place ranking plus 5 (25 for catchers, 35 for position players and relievers, 55 for outfielders and starting pitchers).
