Top 100 for 2010 Fantasy Baseball
February 08, 2010
Category: 2010 Fantasy Baseball Rankings
With the 2010 fantasy baseball rankings for every position done, we turn our lazy eye towards the top 100 for 2010 fantasy baseball. These rankings may as well been co-written by Kim Jong-il because, if those 2010 fantasy baseball rankings were the bomb, this shizz is nu-cu-lar. None of this top 100 for 2010 fantasy baseball is meant to surprise. It’s just taking my positional rankings and putting guys in The Big Picture. Obviously at a hundred players, some guys just didn’t make it. About 200 or so, to be inexact. It’s okay, there will be a top 300 too. Shortly, Sloth, you’ll have your Baby Ruth. Not to get all biblical on you, but this is the gospel. Print it out and take it to Mt. Sinai and it will say, “Win your 2010 fantasy baseball league, young premature balding man.” Projections were done by me and a crack team of 100 monkeys fighting amongst themselves because there were only 99 typewriters. Somebody buy Ling-Ling his own typewriter! To help with your drafting, there’s also a list of players with multiple position eligibility along with the Point Shares. Anyway, here’s the top 100 for 2010 fantasy baseball:
1. Albert Pujols – I’m man enough to admit I love Poo-Holes. 2010 Projections: 110/40/120/.337/10
2. Hanley Ramirez – Ready to have your mind blown? Imagine if the Red Sox didn’t trade Hanley to the Marlins. 2010 Projections: 100/25/110/.320/25
3. Chase Utley – Gets the edge on A-Rod for his position and pomade. 2010 Projections: 110/32/105/.300/15
4. Alex Rodriguez – Jeter’s got the market cornered on hot Latinas while A-Rod’s rocking lame ass white girls, but, unfortunately, I can’t hold that against him for fantasy. 2010 Projections: 110/36/120/.310/15
5. Ryan Braun – If he can do what I think he’s capable of, he could be number one for 2011. 2010 Projections: 110/37/120/.305/17
6. Mark Teixeira – Like LL, Tex just keeps doing and doing and doing it well. 2010 Projections: 100/37/120/.305
7. Miguel Cabrera – He gives me the vibe he doesn’t care, but maturity does weird things to people. Shoot, I used to shave my head, sag my Karl Kanis and wear purple sneakers. If Cabrera can put forth 100%, he can be a force. 2010 Projections: 105/35/115/.320/3
8. Matt Kemp – Man, I’m loving these 5-8 picks. Can you dig it? I knew you could. 2010 Projections: 100/30/110/.305/32
9. Prince Fielder – If 40 homers is the key, then Fielder’s a lock. 2010 Projections: 100/42/115/.285
10. Ryan Howard – Howard = Fielder + 5 homers – .010 on average. 2010 Projections: 105/47/140/.275
11. Evan Longoria – I had a premonition that Longoria could steal 20 bases in 2010. Might’ve been indigestion. 2010 Projections: 100/36/115/.280/10
12. Tim Lincecum – From the files of Coincidences That Don’t Really Mean Anything, I ranked him 12th last year too. 2010 Projections: 18-5/2.70/1.00/250
13. David Wright – I don’t buy that Wright, Reyes or Johan are done. If you were to jump out of a DeLorean and say to me you’re from the future and the Mets are in the playoffs, it wouldn’t shock me. I’d assume they traded for three starters in July. 2010 Projections: 100/25/110/.300/17
14. Matt Holliday – He’s a great average, solid power and moderate steal contributor. In fantasy, that gets you 14th. 2010 Projections: 105/28/115/.320/15
15. Ian Kinsler – If he stays healthy again and has a lucky year for average, he can give you a season better than Utley. But those are two decent-sized ifs. 2010 Projections: 110/29/80/.270/34
16. Troy Tulowitzki – As you can see from my projections — go ahead, look, this’ll be here — I think his steals come down from last year. 2010 Projections: 95/35/105/.280/12
17. Grady Sizemore – When I say bounce… You say back. Bounce… Back… Bounce… Back… Pounce… Back– I said pounce, got ya. 2010 Projections: 110/27/80/.270/25
18. Carl Crawford – I’ll be honest, I considered dropping Crawford a little further down, but the near-15 homers gets him ranked here. 2010 Projections: 110/14/65/.290/50
19. Adrian Gonzalez – Mind blowing time again. Imagine Hanley and Adrian Gonzalez on the Red Sox. 2010 Projections: 90/38/100/.280
20. Jimmy Rollins – This is the last shortstop for a while. Why? Cause shortstops suck. You’re best to not look at shortstops again until Andrus. 2010 Projections: 110/20/65/.275/28
21. Justin Morneau – I’m kinda all right on Morneau this year. I’m not expecting 35 homers or any steals, but around 30/100/.290 is solid. 2010 Projections: 95/32/110/.290
22. Jacoby Ellsbury – Same that goes for Crawford. Probably won’t own Ellsbury but the boy has speed and some slight power. 2010 Projections: 105/10/65/.300/60
23. Justin Upton – I like J-Upside this year, but, then again, everyone does. 2010 Projections: 80/27/95/.290/20
24. Felix Hernandez – Love, love, love F-Her. Think he has multiple Cy Youngs in his arm. But I probably won’t own him either. Before I get a ton of comments about why would I rank someone somewhere and then say I wouldn’t own them. I can’t own everyone. It’s just impossible. For instance, with my first two picks, I take Braun and Reyes, I’ll need a first baseman. If I take Hanley and A-Gon, I’ll need an outfielder. If I take A-Rod and Sizemore, I’ll need a first baseman. It’s just the way I assemble a team. I’m not going to draft a starter third UNLESS — yes, Mr. Caps, that’s for emphasis — Lincecum’s still around in the third round then I won’t be able to turn that down. But that doesn’t mean F-Her isn’t ranked here. If I were to only talk about the guys I would actually own, this top 100 may only be 20 guys long. Also, technically I would own F-Her if he were around after I drafted, say, Braun, Reyes and Votto. But he won’t be. 2010 Projections: 18-6/3.00/1.10/220
25. Zack Greinke – More or less the same gist as F-Her. 2010 Projections: 14-5/3.05/1.10/225
26. Roy Halladay – Halladay could easily be the top rated starter at the end of the year. He’s not listed first because the guys above beat him in Ks and age. 2010 Projections: 17-8/3.02/1.14/185
27. Joe Mauer – He’s ranked 28th because I know he’ll be gone before he gets to here. Consider it a preemptive strike. 2010 Projections: 100/20/85/.330/3
28. Ryan Zimmerman – I see Zimmerman moving into the 2nd round for 2011. 2010 Projections: 105/30/110/.295/5
29. Kevin Youkilis – When a player gets to 30 years old and has failed to reach 30 homers, it’s pretty safe to say he’s probably not getting there. The Greek God of 27 Homers and a Near-.300 Average. 2010 Projections: 95/27/105/.295/5
30. CC Sabathia – I had this wild dream the other day. I was watching a Yankee game where CC was on the mound but instead of CC it was Prop Joe. 2010 Projections: 20-10/3.45/1.17/200
31. Mark Reynolds – Flip over your your pocket-sized Chinese food take out calender, 2009 was the Year of the Mini Donkey, not 2010. 2010 Projections: 85/35/95/.250/12
32. Joey Votto – If you don’t know how I feel about Votto at this point, you haven’t been reading the site. 2010 Projections: 90/30/105/.305/7
33. Curtis Granderson – His average will come up and the homers will fly in the Boogie Down. 2010 Projections: 110/30/80/.270/20
34. Jayson Werth – In any different lineup or park, I’d be worried about Werth ranked this high. Plus, he’s a 5 time Intercontinental Champion. 2010 Projections: 85/30/100/.270/18
35. Jose Reyes – It’s not great that he’s starting the year on the DL, but Mauer did it last year and A-Rod and Utley… It’s a long season, if you can get Reyes at a discount, go for it. 2010 Projections: 105/11/55/.285/45
36. B.J. Upton – Don’t believe last year’s average. 2010 Projections: 90/14/65/.275/40
37. Brandon Phillips – Steady contributor at a weak position. 2010 Projections: 80/22/95/.275/22
38. Brian Roberts – I’m worried at some point Roberts is going to get old. He’ll be 32 in twenty-ten. Might happen. 2010 Projections: 105/13/75/.285/30
39. Dustin Pedroia – Member the battles I fought last year for telling people Pedroia wasn’t a 1st or 2nd round pick? Yeah, those people went into the shadows like Orson Welles in The Third Man. 2010 Projections: 110/15/70/.305/15
40. Robinson Cano – Entering the magical 27 year old season and his high average is not a trick. (A trick is something a whore does for money.) 2010 Projections: 90/27/100/.315/5
41. Brian McCann – I probably won’t own McCann outside of two catcher leagues, but I am more pro-McCann than most ‘perts. 2010 Projections: 80/28/105/.295/3
42. Victor Martinez – V-Mart at first base is kinda eh. 2010 Projections: 85/25/110/.300
43. Ichiro Suzuki – Great average, but I don’t pay for average. 2010 Projections: 100/10/55/.330/25
44. Jason Bay – I don’t think Metco kills a player’s value, but it’s definitely not Fenway. 2010 Projections: 85/28/105/.270/10
45. Johan Santana – I don’t think Metco makes a pitcher’s value, but it’s Johan. Falling K-rate, schmalling K-rate. 2010 Projections: 18-7/3.15/1.18/200
46. Adam Lind – I understand people not being crazy for Lind because of his position, but don’t be not crazy for him because you think his power is fluky. Yes, that was a triple negative. Those are okay. 2010 Projections: 85/35/110/.300/2
47. Josh Hamilton – Hey, it’s my old whipping boy. I like him this year. See, it wasn’t personal. 2010 Projections: 85/28/100/.275/7
48. Andre Ethier – I’m basically stocking my outfield with these rankings. Say what you want about depth, but it’s not that deep when every team needs 5 of them. 2010 Projections: 80/24/95/.285/7
49. Derek Jeter – Last year’s slight boost in power makes sense, but the huge increase in speed won’t carry over. 2010 Projections: 110/16/70/.315/20
50. Justin Verlander – Just don’t abandon ship when he starts the season poorly. 2010 Projections: 17-11/3.25/1.20/230
51. Dan Haren – Abandon ship when the clock strikes July. 2010 Projections: 16-10/3.30/1.15/200
52. Jon Lester – If it means taking a starter in the 5th round, so be it. But I’m looking to own Lester on at least one team in 2010. 2010 Projections: 17-7/3.35/1.20/215
53. Adam Wainwright – Hmm… Where are the top starters? This seems off. 2010 Projections: 16-8/3.30/1.18/190
54. Carlos Quentin – Charlie Quentin is talented, the health is the issue. 2010 Projections: 80/28/95/.275/5
55. Nelson Cruz – His projections say he should be above even Hamilton and Ethier but I have my trepidations that Cruz could revert to being the guy that couldn’t get out of the minors. Unlike my other trepidations, this one feels less warranted. 2010 Projections: 80/32/95/.275/15
56. Adam Jones – Why is Adam Jones being drafted after players like Manny? Point your right foot thumbkin up and point your left foot thumbkin down. Right is Jones, left is Manny. 2010 Projections: 95/27/85/.280/15
57. Nick Markakis – I do think Markakis is talented, but I’d sure like to see a year of 25+ homers before drafting him as my first outfielder. Shoot, I’d take just 25 homers. 2010 Projections: 100/24/100/.300/7
58. Pablo Sandoval – I’m probably lower on Sandoval than most, but I don’t think 25 homers was a jumping off point but more of a ceiling. 2010 Projections: 80/24/95/.315/4
59. Aaron Hill – I don’t buy 2009 at all, so I’m not touching him where lots of ‘perts are. 2010 Projections: 85/24/80/.280/5
60. Kendry Morales – If he’s 26 years old, I’ll shave the ’stache. 2010 Projections: 80/28/100/.285/3
61. Adam Dunn – 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 38… Even if it’s 36 in 2010, he’s still worth the average. 2010 Projections: 80/40/100/.250
62. Carlos Pena – Led the AL in homers and missed the last month of the season. 2010 Projections: 95/37/100/.250
63. Shin-Soo Choo – Throw Choo, Abreu, Victorino and Hunter into a big, over-sized hat and pick out one for your team. They’re all relatively the same. More speed here, less average there. More pop here, less speed there. 2010 Projections: 90/18/100/.285/20
64. Bobby Abreu – How is he fast and Miguel Cabrera slow when they both have the same body type? 2010 Projections: 95/15/100/.300/20
65. Shane Victorino – Now that Crapolanco shoved him down the order, I anticipate yelling at the TV screen, “Stop bunting over Victorino!” 2010 Projections: 75/12/85/.290/30
66. Torii Hunter – He hasn’t stolen more than 20 bases in a season since 2004. Cust kayin’. cus2010 Projections: 75/23/85/.275/17
67. Carlos Lee – Could be more valuable than Lind, but where’s the excitement in that? 2010 Projections: 65/27/100/.300/5
68. Ben Zobrist – With Zobrist, Jacoby Ellsbury and Zimmerman, it’s a renaissance for players whose names sound Jewish but are not. 2010 Projections: 75/20/85/.270/12
69. Chone Figgins – If you have a team where your 2nd baseman and shortstop have pop — think Uggla and Tulo — I could see Figgins. But the dearth of power at 3rd could kill your entire team. I opt for steals in the latter rounds at MI. Think Everth Cabrera. 2010 Projections: 105/5/55/.295/40
70. Cole Hamels – He paid last year for being overworked in 2008. This year he makes up for it. 2010 Projections: 16-10/3.45/1.15/185
71. Josh Johnson – Last year, he had a sub-3 ERA until August 20th. 2010 Projections: 14-6/3.35/1.22/175
72. Cliff Lee – The Adverb is about as safe as they come, but he gets ranked here because he’s not a huge strikeout threat. 2010 Projections: 15-8/3.40/1.22/160
73. Ubaldo Jimenez – Takes nads the size of beach balls to draft a Rockies pitcher as your first pitcher off the board. Also takes nads to win a fantasy baseball championship. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself. 2010 Projections: 15-9/3.50/1.27/200
74. Derrek Lee – Lee’s not a 35 homer hitter like last year. He’s a 24 to 27 homer hitter. My apologies to Cubs fans, Derrek Lee’s family and anyone else I might have hurt with my words. 2010 Projections: 90/25/100/.295/3
75. Ricky Nolasco – Love the K/BB and badass name. 2010 Projections: 15-7/3.55/1.20/200
76. Josh Beckett – What can be said about Red State Jeter that hasn’t already been said? Sounds like a rhetorical, but really what? 2010 Projections: 16-10/3.70/1.22/195
77. Clayton Kershaw – I took down my Ron LeFlore door poster and put up Clayton Kershaw. 2010 Projections: 12-4/3.20/1.22/200
78. Denard Span – Probably the least exciting name on the top 100 (though Uggla’s a close second). Span’s numbers aren’t that far off from Victorino. Call him Feign Victorino. I might need to do a Sleeper post about Denard Dawg. That’ll draw some eyeballs. /sarcasm 2010 Projections: 100/10/70/.300/22
79. Alfonso Soriano – Free swingers don’t age well. Speedsters with leg problems don’t run much. Still 20/10 seems to be about his floor. There’s value in that. 2010 Projections: 70/25/85/.270/12
80. Alex Rios – Rios is like buying a Chia Pet. You’re excited when you buy it. Seems like a fun idea. Then you get home, never water it and it goes 8-for-75. 2010 Projections: 85/19/70/.275/22
81. Chris Carpenter – As I mentioned in the top 20 starters, I’m avoiding Carp, Yovani and Peavy. Ergo, I switched the order in this top 100. Ergo, Yovani and Peavy didn’t even make the top 100. Ergo, I have no idea if I’m using ergo correctly. 2010 Projections: 14-7/3.10/1.05/135
82. Manny Ramirez – I’m not going to be able to get Manny this late and that’s by design. 2010 Projections: 85/28/100/.300
83. Matt Wieters – Dreamy without the Brady Anderson sideburns. 2010 Projections: 70/18/85/.305
84. Gordon Beckham – I’m typing this with my toes as I do sit-ups. That’s how much I like Beckham. 2010 Projections: 85/18/63/.260/14
85. Raul Ibanez – Sorta in the same boat as Werth, but older. I.e., if Ibanez were on a different team in a different lineup, I’d have no problem lowering him. Hitting in Citizens Bank behind Rollins, Polanco, Utley, Howard and Werth is not a bad place to be. 2010 Projections: 85/27/100/.270/3
86. Carlos Beltran – I don’t feel comfortable with this ranking and could see skipping right over Beltran if I were drafting in early March. I need to know more about his condition. 2010 Projections: 70/20/80/.280/12
87. Jason Bartlett – If you haven’t seen Charlie Bartlett, I’d avoid it. And Jason Bartlett. 2010 Projections: 95/7/50/.285/27
87. Joe Nathan – UPDATE: He’s done, put a fork in him. 2010 Projections: 4-2/1.95/.95/80, 45 saves
88. Jonathan Papelbon – There’s no way I’m getting one of these closers this late in a draft. That’s all right, cause I don’t want them. But as more and more fantasy baseballers (<–my Mom’s term) become better informed, closers are starting to fall lower and lower. Continued thought in Rivera’s blurb. 2010 Projections: 2-1/2.05/1.00/75, 45 saves
89. Mariano Rivera – If this trend continues then I may have to tell people to start drafting closers because at a certain point there’s value with them. Continued thought in Broxton’s blurb. 2010 Projections: 4-1/2.15/1.00/70, 42 saves
90. Jonathan Broxton – Hmm… No, that’s about all I wanted to say about that. 2010 Projections: 5-4/2.75/1.05/100, 40 saves
91. Michael Young – Old is as Young does. 2010 Projections: 75/14/90/.315/10
92. Aramis Ramirez – Kinda wanted to drop Aramis out of the top 100, but his position saves him. 2010 Projections: 75/25/95/.290
93. Dan Uggla – According to Uggla, Hanley doesn’t give it his all. Uggla should see if he can have some of whatever it is Hanley is holding back. 2010 Projections: 90/32/100/.250/3
94. Wandy Rodriguez – I’ve said this before so skip ahead if you’ve already heard this from me… Then again you might not know what I’m going to say until I say it… Anyhoo! Weird how some people break out and no one believes it while others break out and they shoot up the rankings. Wandy was solid last year; his only concern is health. If healthy, he’s fine. 2010 Projections: 13-11/3.55/1.27/190
95. Chad Billingsley – Same boat as Hamels with less WHIP potential. 2010 Projections: 16-8/3.50/1.32/190
96. Heath Bell – First closer I could see myself owning. 2010 Projections: 2-3/2.85/1.10/75, 40 saves
97. Lance Berkman – Unlike beef, going from prime to aged isn’t great. 2010 Projections: 70/23/85/.285/3
98. Billy Butler - Upside and luscious moobs. 2010 Projections: 85/25/100/.295
99. Ian Stewart – I wanted to end the top 100 with Stewart cause I’m crushing hard. To read more about him, go directly to my Ian Stewart fantasy. If you see wavy lines like in a dream sequence, it’s completely normal. 2010 Projections: 85/29/100/.260/10

If you draft at the end of the turn and none of your league mate is a Razzballer, you could walk away with Kemp, Longoria, Grandy and Votto in the first four round. Did that in MDC couple times already. Then could possibly get a top-tier RP and someone like Lester in 5th and 6th. Not a bad start. Plus, our sleeper picks later in Andrus and Stewart would mean more if all works out fine.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:32 am
haha….CC = Prop Joe…classic – The Wire best tv show of our generation
Question – will C Grand be able to score 110 runs if he hits 5th and 6th mainly as he is expected to do?
Jeter and Nick Johnson in the 1-2 holes , although N Johnson will surely miss time
February 8th, 2010 at 5:55 am
would u be happy taking lincecum/wright back-to-back? where do u prefer to draft this year (beg, mid, end of the snake draft)?
February 8th, 2010 at 5:59 am
carlos gonzalez doesn’t make the cut? that’s doesn’t seem right.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:15 am
i guess you’re high on hamels huh grey? ranking him ahead of cliff lee and JJ? Personally i think Lee gets underrated year after year….
February 8th, 2010 at 6:22 am
@Byrone: ya i’d rather see Jay Bruce OR Cargo than Bartlett or Rios. BUT…. its the top 100, everyone can’t be on it… unless grey does one of those things where he has four #68’s and three #86’s….. lol
February 8th, 2010 at 6:41 am
How can you put up the doppelganger picture of Werth and not do a similar side-by-side of Utley (2009 World Series version) and Draco Malfoy from one of the first two Harry Potter movies? (And before you make fun of me for watching the Harry Potter movies (and rightfully so), my 7-year-old daughter is a big fan, so any snarky comments will make a cute little girl cry. You don’t want to make a cute little girl cry, do you?)
February 8th, 2010 at 7:03 am
@Quintero: I have yet to see Kemp fall beyond the middle of the first round. If I could get him late first round, I’d be ecstatic.
Also, a reminder about our mock drafts on MDC for FantasyGameday on Wednesday nights at 8 PM EST. P/W FGD2010. 5 spots left this week.
FGD Mock Draft #4
February 8th, 2010 at 7:09 am
35 homers for Tulo? Is that a typo?
February 8th, 2010 at 7:20 am
Grey I remember reading a commenter saying that he’d send you like a chart with all your razzball tiers, will that be posted here for us?
February 8th, 2010 at 7:24 am
@aj: the only typo in that projection is the AVG is too low. Love me some Tulo!
February 8th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Damn I wont take pitcher till 8th rd –guess it will be Wandy or Billingsley as my staff anchor. Was hoping for Cole or Ubaldo . Oh well might be able to get Gallardo as 2nd pitcher.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:48 am
@aj: @really the real Tom, for real: Yep grey think TULO is a real 30HR threat… and so do i.
I think taking at #13 in a draft isn’t crazy. After TULO and Hanley where do you go? Rollins? Jeter? (no) later? andrus, everth? escobar? Its slim pickens…. 30/10 and a .290 average at SS is sounding pretty good right now…
February 8th, 2010 at 7:49 am
I don’t draft pitchers until the 8th round or later and have had tremendous success with that strategy. I feel that bats are more predictable than arms. Just my opinion. Anyone else agree??
February 8th, 2010 at 7:51 am
two part question, what SP minor would you rather own? and who will play more this year… Feliz, Matusz and Daivs
February 8th, 2010 at 8:00 am
Now that Grey’s list is out, it’s time to get busy drafting!! Uhhh, is anybody open for business? Anybody?
Thanks Grey!
February 8th, 2010 at 8:10 am
@Billy: I like Feliz more than those others. Both Matusz and Wade Davis play in the AL East and will face tougher line-ups. Matusz will pitch more innings then Feliz or Davis at the MLB level. Feliz will have the best ratios and Davis will have more national hype, but Matusz will have better late round value.
That’s just my opinion. It will probably change a bit in late March, but I like Feliz. His arm is light lightening, or maybe Flash Gordon.

@Bob: Just got in a MOCK at MDC (mock draft central) @ 2:15pm today, #1025. 12 Teamer, 10 spots left….
Try and jump in, that goes for anyone else as well… (teacher, fog day today, love it)
February 8th, 2010 at 8:16 am
@Ivar G. Anderson: I agree that I haven’t seen Kemp fall that far in too many either. I can only salivate knowing that I own him for the next 3 years in my keeper league and can only wish/hope that Torre decides a 30/30/300 guy shouldn’t be hitting in the 8 spot.
@Tony: I agree that Bruce should be considered somewhere near the top…If there was an “on the bubble” i would think that he will be at the top of the list. I don’t think that 100/30/100/.275 is out of the question.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:27 am
@Tony: If I miss out on Tulo or Hanley, I’m waiting until the 10th round or later to take Stephen Drew. If I remember correctly, everyone was jerking off to this guy last year.
@Quintero: That would be a great first couple of rounds. Don’t think it’s gonna happen outside of 10 team leagues.
@Drew _Pelham: Johnson will miss time. Grandy will bounce around the lineup a little.
@matthole: I like back to back picks, so I’d take the end. Wouldn’t be happy with those first two.
@Byrone: I don’t see him as a top 100.
@Tony: They’re in the same tier:
http://razzball.com/top-20-starters-for-2010-fantasy-baseball/
@Rabbit: Ha!
@aj: He hit 32 at 25 years old last year.
@Eddy: I’ll post it this week.
@Pochucker: Cole and Ubaldo might go later. This isn’t the draft sheet for every drafter.
@Billy: Feliz
@Bob: No problem.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:40 am
@Grey: You say Utley get’s the edge over a-rod because of position. I’m starting to think the opposite… a-rod gets the edge over hanley and utley b/c of position. 3b has been the toughest pos. for me to draft later in the drafts in all of my mocks.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Votto is being taken 25th overall in mock drafts, so I don’t think you’re higher on him than most.
@Andrew: I know I’m above ESPN and CBS.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:49 am
@Jo: I shifted from Utley to Arod because Razzballers convinced me he was not a health risk. I like the Arod then Stewart at 2B combo rather than Utley and Stewart at 3B.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Well done as usual, Grey. I’m in a keeper’s league, with idiosyncratic rules–suffice it to say, we have large rosters, which allows us to carry minor leaguers (or even collegians). I’ve got Bryce Harper. Should I swap him for Jonathan Sanchez and Grant Green? I’m gunshy. Have traded superstars away before (inc. I’ll confess Albert Pujols after his rookie season); on the other hand, I was rewarded by following your Wandy advice of 2009. Yes, I need more pitching…but if he does what some predict he can do who doesn’t need a Bryce Harper?
Thank you in advance for any wisdom you might wish to share on this (for me) nail-biter.
I wish I could use code names for the players above in case my trading partner is also reading your extremely worthy blog. But that would only confuse you as well…so…
I remain, explicitly,
A Faithful Reader
February 8th, 2010 at 9:10 am
I’m going to miss Harry Kalas saying Joey Votto’s name. I can’t say his name out loud without doing a terrible impression
In other news – I am dying here. Utley at $30 or Zobrist at $3 in an OPS league. I think I protect more value with Zobrist, but I’m also protecting more uncertainty. ugh
February 8th, 2010 at 9:15 am
@Simply Fred: If I target Stewart at 3B, I feel I “have” to get him with no options after him. Seen him go as high as mid R7. Would rather not reach. If targeted at 2B, I can afford to target R10-11ish. If I get sniped, there are late round 2B options that I can live with. (Also, Arod’s projections slightly higher than Utley’s.)
February 8th, 2010 at 9:20 am
I’ve got Wandy and Billingsley in a keeper league – and only room to keep one (there’s not cost for either). I’m strongly leaning Bilingsley over Wandy. In fact, I’m trying to trade Wandy for a draft pick to I can at least get some value for him.
I know Grey’s got Wandy ranked just above Bills (though essentially the same spot).. am I wrong to value Bills as much over Wandy as I do? Or, as my jewish grandmother used to ask me, am I making a mistake?
@Fanta: When in doubt, I usually go for the guys that are actually playing in the majors, so Sanchez’s side. But I will ask this, can’t you just get Sanchez in the draft or someone similar? Is Harper the kind of piece that will attract a lot more in a trade once he starts progessing? I’d say, yes and yes. If you can hold Harper, I would.
@Critter Nagurski: Utley
@peter: Bills has a bigger upside (and backside — oofa!), so it’s fine to go that way. They are essentially the same, i.e., same tier.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:22 am
@Simply Fred: For me I NEED stewart at whatever pos. i don’t draft earlier b/c I really don’t like the other options at 2b or 3b. Who else would you target at 3b if you didn’t get stewart?
February 8th, 2010 at 9:23 am
@Jo: correction, who would you target at 2b if you don’t get stewart.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:35 am
I’m a Phillies fan, so I think I will take your suggestion
Thanks again for all of the help
February 8th, 2010 at 9:36 am
@Grey: Yeah, that’s what she said.
Thanks…
February 8th, 2010 at 9:41 am
@Jo: Orlando Hudson wouldn’t be a back second baseman hitting in front of Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, and Kubel with Span hitting in front of him.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:44 am
There’s been a lot of talk about how early you need to reach for Stewart in a snake draft, but what about in auction leagues–how high is too high to pay for Stewie, in a standard $260 salary league that has a three-year keeper rule? (Ignoring keeper inflation for the time being.) I know of course so much of it depends on the how the particular auction is playing out, in terms of who’s overpaying for what, who else has been snapped up at 2B at what price, etc., but can you give a broad-brush idea of (1) the most you would pay for Stewart; (2) what you’d expect to get him for, and (3) what range you’d consider to be a bargain for him?
February 8th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Hey Grey, I was looking at another top 100 and saw something quite funny. these people have mark ellis ranked #88, what the hell??? Is this some sort of joke?
http://www.fantasybaseballsearch.com/2009_consensus_rankings.asp
@Rabbit: Between $12 and $15 seems to be about the ceiling. I’d like to get him for between $9-12. A bargain would be less.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Why do you predict Cano to hit 27 homers? He only had a 33% FB rate last year. You really feel he will improve on 2009?
@Mark: Yeah, this year and next should be his power peak. He’s right around a 25 to 27 homer guy.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:58 am
@Grey: If ShLongoria and the other top 11 listed are taken…..whod u take back to back if u were picking at the 12 spot? seems like a tough call…..Dovid Wright could be nice but hes not that 1st rd lock/stud you hope to secure
@matthole: Wright’s fine as the 12th pick, then you go Holliday right after. That’s not a bad start for a team.
@Matt: I didn’t look at that link, but that URL says 2009.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:39 am
@Grey: Any guys that bounced around a whole lot while you were doing this? Or guys you were back and forward on?
@Steve: Trying to fit in the outfielder tiers at 46, 54 and 64.
February 8th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Hey Grey… just curious as to what you think is the most overrated stat/category for fantasy purposes with hitting. I know FIP renders ERA useless for pitching and WHIP and SO/BB rates are solid indicators to gauge pitching skills. My gut says that because batting avg. flucuates depending on plain luck sometimes that it can be misleading to a hitters abilities. Am I stoopid for not worrying about batting avg so much as other stats???
PS – I want to snag Ian Stew this year, but don’t want to feel naughty because of his mediocre to possibly horrid AVG.
@Joe B: Yeah, batting average. Have mentioned this a few times on site.
February 8th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Considering how deep 1B is, I think guys like Brando (Phillips), Granderson, and Lil Donkey are ranked a bit too low.
I’m also a big believer in not drafting pitchers early. The risk/reward ratio is rather rueful. (Not sure if that’s the correct use of the word “rueful,” but I hope it’s not.) And nabbing guys like Ubaldo Jewbetcha, The Wolfman (Randicio del Lobo? I reach, ergo sum.), or Johnny O’Sanchez off the wire happens every year.
I know “don’t take pitchers early” is said a lot, but I think talking strategy is probably more helpful than player rankings, considering how many sites have rankings these days.
February 8th, 2010 at 11:42 am
I see G Beckham (GoBe) closer to 25 HRs .280…
I agree that Bruce and CarGo have to be here over Rios and Span…
Did you really just put J Bartlett top 100???
February 8th, 2010 at 11:48 am
everything else is spot on of course…best site on the interweb
@Shmorgie S. Board: 1st basemen will fly off the shelf, so it’s deep but 10 or so of them will be gone real quick.
@Tom Reale: Beckham could do it, but that’s about the ceiling. Bartlett’s not a favorite of mine. Wanted to put him lower, but needed to get him out of the way. I do say don’t draft him.
@Tom Reale: And thanks!
February 8th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
@ Vinnie…i like to not jump the gun on SPs as well, but it seems like not taking an ace within the first 5 to 6 rounds then taking a #2 in 8 or 9 results in a horrific staff. I’ve done a bunch of drafts at MDC this year and that’s the way it’s shaking out.
Seems like the world is wise to the 8 rd SP thing though as witnessed by this draft done last night right after NO whupped up on Peyton and Co. Looks at the SPs taken with the last couple in rd 7 and in rd 8:
R7 P8 Dr Mocker Johnson, Josh SP FLA 6s
R7 P9 YANKS WIN Gallardo, Yovani SP MIL 13s
R7 P11 Bonds is an A-Hole Cain, Matt SP SF 13s
R8 P2 Bonds is an A-Hole Hanson, Tommy SP ATL 24s
R8 P3 hammie Jimenez, Ubaldo SP COL 35s
R8 P4 YANKS WIN Broxton, Jonathan RP LA 13s
R8 P5 Dr Mocker Soria, Joakim RP KC 7s
R8 P8 Fractured Testicle Hamels, Cole SP PHI 13s
R8 P10 Klesko’s Crow Hop Cordero, Francisco RP CIN Predrafted
R8 P11 Penis McGee Rodriguez, Francisco RP NYM AutoSelect
R8 P12 deadredsox Kershaw, Clayton
February 8th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Any ETA on the top 300? sometime this week or is that too optomistic?
@Johnny: Hopefully tomorrow.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
With depth at 1b and your projections, does it make sense to have Morneau ranked 7 ahead of Zimmerman?
Would you have issues with making them your 2nd and 3rd picks if you draft early in round one?
@HULK: I’m assuming you mean a keeper league…. No, that would be fine.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Zack is spelled with a K and not an H. Honest mistake, but his full name is Donald Zackary Greinke. This guy is sensitive, so let’s fix that typo.
@Spellchecker: My bad…
February 8th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
No Pence makes no sense
February 8th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Prop Joe reference and anything “The Wire” related is strong, very strong. Plus, your list is good. Nice.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Which two would you keep from the following (Ubaldo $1, Votto $17 & N. Cruz $1 already being kept) – 10 team 5×5, $260:
Zobrist $1
J-Roll $27
Youk $21
@Laurent: Thanks!
@Red Panda: Zobrist and Rollins.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Grey,
I am in a 14 team keeper league, and we get to keep 8, with standard 5 x 5 scoring.
I have to keep Arod, Prince, Sizemore, Hamilton, Reyes, and Lester. So that leaves 2 spots available with the likes of Soria, Nolasco, Wieters, and Stewart to choose from. I also have the 3rd pick in the draft thanks to Hamilton, Reyes, and Sizemore being injured last year. My thought is to keep Wieters and Stewart for there upside and hope Nolasco is available with that #3 pick. Would you agree?
@Matt: Since you have Lester already, that’s what I’d do too.
February 9th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
Do you have Youklis ranked above Votto, because you he is a more proven, boring player, or do you just not want to start up the 2010 Joey Votto Buzz Machine?
@Voidoid: Proven
February 10th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Why do you have Dunn above A Jones and Sparkakis in the OF rankings, but those guys above Dunn in the Top 100. ?
February 10th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Nevermind. Im sure these things are ever changing.
February 10th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
In a keeper league where I already have Fielder and Utley would you flip Felix and Reynolds for Braun? I’d have to give up a 2nd round pick too but since we can keep 8 guys it’s really a 10th round pick.
@Keith: It’s okay, but a bit much to give up for Braun. Depends if you have five other solid guys.
February 10th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
My other keepers would be Cliff Lee, Victorino, Bartlett, Wieters, and either Blanks, Porcello, or Wandy.
Also I’m close to a Lester and Sizemore for Lee and Victorino trade if you think that’s a good deal.
@Keith: You don’t have the depth. I wouldn’t do the Felix trade. I’d want the Lester side of the other trade.
February 10th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
You’d rather get Lee and Victorino then Lester and Sizemore?
Why?
February 10th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
The original deal was Lee, Victrorino and Bartlett for Lester, Sizemore, and Rollins but I never thought that it would pass.
@Keith: I’d want the Lester and Sizemore side of the trade. Those are the two guys I’d want.
February 14th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Would you move Fielder for Sandoval & Lind or Fielder and a 4th round pick (keeper league so really a 12th rounder) for Sandoval, Lind and Adam Jones?
@Keith: I’d do the 4th round pick one for Sandoval, Lind and Jones.
February 16th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
How often is this list updated and when was this list made?
@josh: Made about a week ago. Will get updated periodically.
February 25th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Do you like Votto over Morneau?
March 3rd, 2010 at 8:06 am
Got the 12th pick in a 12 team snake draft. Initial draft for an 8 player keeper league. I like your Wright and Holliday idea, what about Wright and Tulo though since SS is a lot thinner then OF. Also got offered the 1st overall pick (ie pujols) for my 3rd and 4th rd picks, 35, 36 overall. Do i take it? This initial draft is obviously crucial, don’t want to get off to a bad start. Pros- I get Pujols, and 12th, 13th overall picks. Cons- next picks would be 56, 57 overall and I would be a little thin. Also 1B is really deep, so Pujols might not be worth it. Though that sounds like blasphemy.
March 3rd, 2010 at 8:14 am
Also any thoughts on how much pitchers should be devalued in a keeper league considering the risk? I know thats an arbitrary question just wondering how long I should stay away from them without throwing away all 5 pitching categories. Gracias.
@gregory: Wright and Tulo is cool…I’d take Pujols there. re: Pitchers — I’d approach them the same as any 12 team draft. Take one around Wainwright, another around Wandy and so on.
EDIT: Word.
March 4th, 2010 at 11:47 am
I need to pick 4 keepers from the following:
Wright, Tulo, Kinsler, Crawford, and King Felix. Would I be mad to keep Felix over one of those bats, like Crawford ? It’s a 10-team roto. Thanks…
@prof_moriarty: Wright, Tulo, Kinsler and F-Her.
March 11th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
hey grey…im in a auction keeper leauge..keep 3.. we spend 275$
would you give halladay up to get reliever h bell for a buck?
its 35$ to keep halladay…. also already keeping [p]wandy for a buck so 2 pitchers for a dollar ranked near the top 100 im thinking? then its valverdy 6$ hunter 6$ damon 6$ helton 8$ hunter6$
im thinking hunter or damon then?
oh ya in our scoring halladay had 415 total last year and bell was 323
@chiasports: I’d want Hunter over Damon. I’d take Bell for a buck and wouldn’t want to spend $30+ for a pitcher. No matter who.
March 11th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
ya there paying alot for pitching in my leauge!
hey thanks! ya i thought that to but hunter seems fragile sometime but then so is damon..lol. you wouldnt take valverdy over those though right at 6$
ya thought it was nuts trading halladay for bell but money wise seemed like a good idea.heck bell was the 15th best pitcher in our leauge!
@chiasports: I don’t think Bell’s going to be the 15th best pitcher in your league again, but for a $1 it’s better than Halladay. No on Valverde.
March 11th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
just saw hunter tweaked his last years injured groin…think if he even matched his 451 at bats hed be better than damon? damon had 550 ab last year and 80 more points in our leauge.
hey what would you pay for valverdy in the draft…kinda like him this year if i can get him cheap again
@chiasports: Damon and Hunter are tomato-tomahto. If you want Damon, go for it. I’d pay $5-7 for Valverde. He’s not better than either of the those two outfielders.
March 11th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
heres how we all drafted last year…my first auction and also first year of doing baseball…..let me know any ideas since youll see just how these guys pay….

@chiasports: Looks like some poeple spend way too much on catchers. While others punt them. People really seem to like their bench hitters too.
