Anyone know of a good site for player rankings? Mock drafts?

Hardball Times has good information.

Fantasybaseballcafe.com is by far the best site.

I have the #3 overall pick... debating who to take...

I am leaning toward Hanley Ramirez

#3? I'd take someone else. Without Miguel's bat behind him this year, he may not see the same pitches, or score as many runs. He's good, but I'd stick with someone with a longer track record whose lineup isn't shifting significantly.

Join a Yahoo free league and you'll get their free ranks, which aren't terrible.

For rumors, trades, injuries, I like this one:

There's also MLB's site.

You have to pay for any of ESPN's stuff.

I picked Ramirez #3 overall as well, he's a badass

I'll be very interested in seeing how Hanley does without the lineup protection he had last year with Cabs.

How did Cabrera do without protection? Pretty damn well.

Hanley Ramirez isn't close to being the hitter that Miguel is.

I know, he's a better ball player.

Just compare their stats from last year

Cabera
.320 avg
34 Home Runs
119 RBI
2 Stolen Bases

Ramirez
.332 avg
29 Home Runs
81 RBI
51 Stolen Bases

Plus Ramirez is much better defensively.

Sure Carbera has done it for a longer time, but Ramirez is a young stud.

I managed to get Reyes at #3... I was amazed he was there... ESPECIALLY since steals count for 2 points in my league.
