Top 200 rankings highlight Paste BN Sports' fantasy special

Steve Gardner, Paste BN Sports | USATODAY

Spring training games have begun, which means fantasy draft day can't be too far away. Fortunately, Paste BN Sports' fantasy baseball special issue is now on sale to help with those difficult decisions.

Our one-stop guide gets you ready for the season with an introductory column from BaseballHQ.com's Ron Shandler on the danger of using Average Draft Position rankings as your draft guide, especially in the early rounds.

Is there another Mike Trout out there in 2013? Paste BN Sports' Paul White takes a look at the top 15 rookies to watch this season.

We also have the results of the 15-team LABR mixed draft. Check out how the experts built the teams they'll be managing the rest of the way.

We have analysis, projected statistics and dollar values for every fantasy-worthy player on the draft board. And finally, you'll get our exclusive player rankings, which last season earned us a fourth-place finish among 50 experts in FantasyPros.com's accuracy challenge.
