I like Braun, but a case can be made for any of ARod or Utley.

ARod is sexy, but 2B is very shallow after Utley and Kinsler. ARod is also good trade bait if that kind of thing interests you.

I'd go ARod at #3. I actually just got Hanley at #3 in a draft, so you never know...

3B is more shallow than 2B this season. I actually like the depth at 2B, however I usually fill it with a 2nd or 3rd tier option between rounds 4-6. Your 3B options in that range isn't pretty. A-Rod should be the slam dunk #3 option in most (if not all) formats. It's Braun and Utley that are interchangeable to me (unless you only start 3 OF'ers).

Rance: who went 2nd?

Yup, I'd go with A-Rod as well. Odds are good at the 2/3 turn, you could see Pedroia, Cano, or Phillips there, all of whom I don't mind relying on at 2B.

Braun went #2. Don't get me wrong, I like Braun a lot, but I wouldn't draft him over Hanley or ARod.
