Today, is the day in history known as, “Aw, sookie sookie, don’t need the nookie, Grey’s giving me a fantasy baseball cookie.” Or, more succinctly, the top 500 for 2017 fantasy baseball. A few years ago, the top 500 was only a top 300 for fantasy baseball. Before that, it was 16 AD and I was rolling with Jesus to this deli that had great matzoh ball soup. In a few years from now, this is going to be a top 10,000 and I’m going to be ranking Mike Trout Jr. Jr. Jr. the 15th. Today, in this year, seventeen after twenty, comes the top 500 for 2017 fantasy baseball. Or as I like to call it, from Mike Trout A to chimpanzee. Actually, I don’t call it that. So, this post isn’t meant to send shockwaves through your system. The pipe cleaner that the doctor uses to get the clogged wax from your ears is meant for that. This is simply to give you an idea of where guys are ranked in relation to other positions. I.e., you know I like Francisco Lindor better than Corey Seager, according to the top 20 shortstops, but do I like Lindor better than Joey Votto? Okay, it’s not that simply. You’ll notice after the top 200, positions start to get clumped together. I might be the only fantasy baseball ‘pert to tell you this, but it doesn’t matter where, say, Eric Thames is ranked vs. Daniel Norris. If you need a pitcher, Thames isn’t going to help you. He can be ranked 75 spots in front of Norris and it doesn’t matter. That’s why I have the 2017 fantasy baseball rankings broken down by positions. If you need a 1st baseman, where Justin Bour vs. Greg Bird matters, but where Bour vs. Brian McCann is really doesn’t matter. Also, there’s no comments about players, which you really should know prior to drafting. In other words, Jose Bautista might be in the early 100s overall, but am I drafting him? Well, you’d know if you read the top 40 outfielders. There’s also a top 100 for 2017 fantasy baseball to help you. Along shortly will be a Fantasy Baseball War Room and a pitchers pairing tool. Anyway, here’s the top 500 for 2017 fantasy baseball:
