Is there a site that can give stats on which draft order spot has the best % of winning the league? Or does anyone have an oppinion on which is the best spot to draft from? I'm in a 3 player Keeper and I pick 1st this year. Should I trade the Spot??? Thanks

I doubt there is such a stat. Ask yourself, do you want Arod? If not, trade it. Without knowing how many teams, trading might not be wise. I wouldn't want to be farther then pick 6 myself.

Spots 1 and 2 rate high at least by your results. You think it's a edge?
I'd say this is true, if we assume that player values tend to lie on something resembling a bell curve, but only in the very long run. In any given season, the dropoffs might favor other picks.
Of course, there's also the inherent (tiny) edge of picking early in drafts with an odd number of rounds.
Basically, though, this effect is negligible and essentially theoretical. A single injury or difference in the way you rank players is enough to make this a moot point.
