Finally, we come to the end of the 2009 fantasy baseball rankings. (Can we start games already?) Okay, you know that I like Rickie Weeks better than Howie Kendrick in the top twenty 2nd basemen for 2009. You know I like Conor Jackson better than James Loney as seen at the top twenty 1st basemen for 2009. But you don’t know how I feel about where these guys fall in the bigger picture. Is Rickie Weeks above Conor Jackson? Nope. So to show you where I think players fall in relation to each other in 2009 fantasy baseball drafts, I’m putting together a 2009 fantasy baseball top 300. This still needs to be taken with a grain of salt because of how your team might be filling out. For instance, if you have a shortstop already and Derek Jeter is still on the board in the 12th round, you don’t draft him if you see Zimmerman and you don’t have a 3rd baseman, even though Zimmerman may be below Jeter on this list. Because of the length of the top 300, there’s no pithy comments with each name, but you kinda do need to know what I’m thinking for each name, so I advise you go over each position in the 2009 fantasy baseball rankings. Also, I already went over a Top 100 for 2009 Fantasy Baseball, so I’m not going to cover them again. This top 300 will go from 101 to 300. Finally, see our 2009 fantasy baseball player rater for 10 team leagues or for 12 team leagues. That goes up to 600 players. Or a list of all players with multiple position eligibility. Anyway, here’s the 2009 fantasy baseball top 300:

After the 2009 fantasy baseball top 300, there’s a lot of names, but these two stand out:
David Murphy/Marlon Byrd – Together they can go 100/20/100/.285/10. Platoon them in daily leagues. Grey out.
