Top 60 Outfielders for 2015 Fantasy Baseball

January 23, 2015 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings | 414 Comments

Yesterday was the top 40 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball. In that post, I dazzled your retinas and made your brain say, “This guy is some kind of beautiful. Damn, I wish I were gay like that guy I used to share a bed with in college. Platonically.” Within these twenty outfielders, there’s some guys I’m excited about and some guys I don’t like at all. It’s important to read the whole post, even if you’re not reading this sentence. I think that’s irony, but I’m not sure; you need to ask a British person to be sure. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are there. As always, where my tiers start and stop and my projections are included. Anyway, here’s the top 60 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball:

2015 Disgraces and Delights: First Basemen

January 22, 2015 | Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell | 55 Comments

by: LT Murray IV

Greetings! Welcome back, friends. As I noted last week, I will be hitting every position group over the next couple months of both players I believe will let us down and those who shall lead us to glory, with this week's post focusing on First Basemen. It's nice to be back in a rhythm after I took a two-week sabbatical, living in the Batu Caves of Malaysia along with my chicken Beatrice. Malaysia was spectacular, but my real passion is my hobby: Fantasy Baseball! I could have lived out the rest of my days in those caves, roasting white-handed gibbons wrapped in King Cobra slices over the fire, while treating female tourists I've just bedded to stories about my dangerous and scandalous past on how I went from a male thong model to a fantasy sports writer for the greatest website every made…buuuuuut, I felt I had more to give this world before I disappear for good, so I come to you now, ready and willing to do my utmost to entertain you and maybe even help you with your fantasy baseball team. I am Tehol Beddict, and this is Disgrace/Delight! Take Heed!

Today, we go over the top 40 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball. Yesterday, we went over the top 20 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball. It will be a date which will live in…Well, it won’t live in infamy, so what’s the opposite of that? Famy? It will live in unfamy? That’s just ridiculous. What are you, the 7-Up guy? By the time you get to these outfielders, I’m sure you’ve drafted at least one outfielder. If you haven’t, wake from your slumber, Rip Van Schmucko, your draft is slipping away from you. There’s a lot of interesting names in this top 40. Jason Heyward is an interesting name. It was even more interesting when it was Jason “Future Superstar” Heyward. All of the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are there. If you right click that and open it in a new tab, your car will get a free oil change (it won’t). Without further delay (there really wasn’t much delay, I mean, that was a short intro compared to most)… Anyway, here’s the top 40 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball:

Apparently they weren't finished though, recently signing Cuban right-hander Yoan Lopez. This system has five legitimate pitching prospects, three of which are close to contributing at the major league level. Despite the hitter-friendly home park, these arms have solid fantasy upside thanks to their strikeout potential. Recently graduated prospect Chris Owings will now man shortstop on an everyday basis. His combination of power and speed make him an interesting late round target in 2015 drafts. And while we're here...don't forget about Randall Delgado, who is currently slated for long relief but could run with another opportunity in a rotation.

I’m gonna turn the top 20 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball to 100, because I love you as much as someone who has never met someone else can love someone. I did get mad when you did that thing that I don’t know about because I don’t know you. It wasn’t cool. But forgive and forget, as my Grandpa Joe says, even if he never forgave our neighbor for stealing his street cleaning parking spot twenty years ago, so there’s that. Now, it’s only fair I turn the outfielders up to 100, since I’ve turned the top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball to 31; the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball to 51; the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball to 41; the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball to 38 and the top 20 3rd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball to 41. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are there. As always, my tiers and projections are included. Anyway, here’s the top 20 outfielders for 2015 fantasy baseball:

Top 20 3rd Basemen for 2015 Fantasy Baseball

January 20, 2015 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings | 272 Comments

Today we (hint: it’s in the title) go over the top 20 3rd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. Now that we’re knee deep in the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings we can get a better idea of how deep certain positions are. Lawrie was 20th for the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball and here he's 23rd. On the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball, Frazier was 10th overall, and here he's 8th, and Chisenhall is 40th here, but 44th for 1st basemen. Bogaerts was 7th at the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball and here he's 15th. Finally, in the top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball, Santana is first and here he's 12th. In summation, catchers are the worst, then shortstops, 2nd basemen, 3rd basemen and 1st basemen. No real surprises there, but shortstops, 2nd basemen and 3rd basemen are pretty close to a toss up in depth (or derp). To summate my summation, lowercase yay. As always, my projections and tiers are noted. Anyway, here’s the top 20 3rd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball:

Offseason Stock Report: Breakout Hitters

January 19, 2015 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball | 101 Comments

by: Big Magoo

In the first article of this series, I looked at some of the most disappointing fantasy performers from this past season and attempted to project what should be expected from those players in 2015. If you missed it, you can check out that post here. This time around, I'm going to break down a few players who unexpectedly produced some of the best overall numbers in fantasy baseball during the 2014 season. None of these guys were thought of as core players for fantasy owners to build around prior to the season, but all of them found their way onto many championship teams due to their elite production. Are these breakout performances sustainable going forward? Should significant regression be expected? Let's investigate further...

Top 20 Shortstops for 2015 Fantasy Baseball

I've already gone over the top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball, the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball and the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. Last year, I thought the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball looked a whole lot better than the 2nd basemen. I said that's not usually the norm, but you gotta be malleable in this fantasy baseball game. Then going on to say I'd give a free car to a brother and sister who were named Norm and Malleable. No one won the car and I was pretty off with where I thought shortstops had depth. They showed up last preseason in a librarian's outfit with red-rimmed glasses and seemed interesting. Then they turned around and it was Sally Jessy Raphael and we should've ran the other way. As with the other top 20 rankings, I point out where tiers start and stop and my projections. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings can be found under that thing that says 2015 fantasy baseball rankings. Unsuccinct! Anyway, here’s the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball:

Prospect Roundup: NL East

January 18, 2015 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects | 60 Comments

by: Mike

A number of players have been signed or traded since our organizational minor league previews started posting. Things can get crazy in the offseason and Jimmy Rollins is now a Dodger. I'm going to need a minute with that one [sniff]. Talk amongst yourselves...I'll give you a topic...does Mookie Betts have a job?...discuss. Okay, I'm all good now. Some prospects who were signed or moved in the trades are impact players that are worthy of a spot on their new team's top ten list. By the timing of the previews, they end up in a sort of top ten list "limbo". Consider these posts a division by division catch-all for such players. It's also an opportunity to discuss a few of the names that were borderline top ten but didn't quite make the cut for their organization's list. In other words, some of the notable "#11s". Here are the prospects that fell through the cracks in the NL East...

Deep League Thoughts: Wilmer Flores

January 16, 2015 | Uncategorized | 30 Comments

by: Sky

Something tells me this post might never see the light of day. Yet on the flip side, this post also felt like an inevitable eventuality. That's what happens when a guy has a major league ready bat but gets placed at a sub-optimal fielding position for his talents. And thus begins the deep league story of our hero of this piece, Wilmer Flores. We're bordering on a Greek tragedy over here, really. Not of the Oedipus level, though...because gross. Of course that doesn't mean he hasn't slept with someone's mom at this stage because every tweet about Wilmer Flores is a sideways glance at who are the Mets going to get to play short to replace him. Heck, they might find a defensive replacement before the season starts. As we see, there's nothing safe about drafting Flores this year but the appeal is still there. Why? Trudge on. Here's my take on why Flores is a great SS get for deep leagues for the 2015 Fantasy Baseball season...

Top 20 2nd Basemen for 2015 Fantasy Baseball

Hello, friends that I've never met in person. I'm glad to see you again, metaphorically. I've already hit you with my top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball and the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. This, here, is the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. This, here, is a mess. There's seriously about seven 2nd basemen I'm excited about, and two of them are Brett Lawrie and Jedd Gyorko, so we know how that's gonna play out. I don't know what happened to the latest crop of 2nd basemen, but I have a theory. Twelve years ago, when these 2nd basemen were learning the position, their role model was Bret Boone. Boone used to frost his hair, so all the kids learning 2nd base at that time, frosted their hair too. Then their friends beat the crap out of them, and that was the end of all future 2nd basemen. Here’s the position eligibility chart for 2015 fantasy baseball. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are under that linkie-ma-whosie. As always, my projections and tiers are included for the low, low price of zero dollars. Anyway, here’s the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball:
