Here I go, here I go, here I go again (again?).  Girls, what’s my weakness? (Men who play baseball.)  Okay, then.  *insert GIF of Ariana Grande saying ‘Thank u, next’* 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 2019 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 drafting in one-person leagues because no one knew fantasy baseball or baseball.  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, nineteen after twenty, comes the top 500 for 2019 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 Jonathan Villar better than Gleyber Torres, according to the top 20 shortstops, but do I like Villar better than Domingo Santana?  Okay, it’s not that simple.  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, Tyler White is ranked vs. Blake Parker.  If you need a closer, White isn’t going to help you.  He can be ranked 50 spots in front of Parker and it doesn’t matter.  That’s why I have the 2019 fantasy baseball rankings broken down by positions.  If you need a 1st baseman, where Justin Smoak vs. Ryan Zimmerman matters, but where Smoak is ranked vs. Ketel Marte really doesn’t matter.  Also, there’s no comments about players, which you really should know prior to drafting.  In other words, Jose Altuve might be in the 20’s overall, but am I drafting him?  Well, you’d know if you read the top 20 2nd basemen.  There’s also a top 100 for 2019 fantasy baseball to help you.  Also, the Fantasy Baseball War Room and tomorrow will be a pitchers’ pairing tool, then on Monday will be our Razzball league signups.  Anyway, here’s the top 500 for 2019 fantasy baseball:

Love your top 500 list! I am in a keeper league where we only keep 4. My top 7 are JD, Acuna, Sale, Bryant, Correa, Cole, Bueller. What are your thoughts on who I should keep? I am really torn with the last two spots especially.

Benintendi in the 4th Round
Khris Davis in the 5th Round

Hey Grey,
My keepers are ALBIES, ARENADO, BREGMAN, SEAGER, TROUT, ACUNA, SOTO, SNELL. Probably keep Ozuna and Paxton with the other two. Would you deal Soto straight up for Freeman? Id love to have a stud first baseman but dont want to move soto. Do you think its worth it?

NL only with OBP over AVG, total bases added, net steals over steals, QS over wins, holds added h2h. we keep 3 at previous season’s ADP’s so it’s quite valuable to find value guys if possible that even in the next year get quite expensive that you often just throw back (damn shame i didn’t keep wheeler last year, needed the roster spot at time in finals). start 4 OF, a CI/MI, 1 util. best 3 of these:
1. IF harper signs NL. choice
harper (1)
freeman (2, but becomes a 1st if harper or machado goes to AL)
hoskins (3, but becomes a 2nd if harper/machado goes to AL)
marte party (3)
ryu (20)
gone varnish (14)
woodruff (23)
legs mcneil (25)
nimmo (25)
a.frazier (25)
sera anthony (25)
wacha (12)

2. which 3 if harper or machado go to AL, which would move freeman to 1 and hoskins to 2

@Scott Kimmel:
1. why would you need 7 OF (maybe you do, do you start 6 of them, but even then you should drop one of these).
2. markakis, jones and probably red dick don’t need to be owned in a 10 teamer, and it’s not good for cain to be your OF 1 in a 10 team either (this answers the actual question here).

@Scott Kimmel: UT meaning hitters? if you don’t start all of those OF drop for SP. if it’s a h2h league even more true. might as well just say how many hitters you are starting rather than just saying it’s a “10 teamer”. it’s possible you start so many hitters that you are really in the effective depth of like a 14-16 teamer. if that’s true then those OF are ownable.

saying “10 teamer” sets up assumptions about starting hitter amounts.

@FrankGrimes: 3 batter minimum is completely garbage. it’s like disallowing check raising in poker, just completely monkeying around with strategy. i can see literally nobody in baseball wanting this idea at all (certainly not pitchers, and REALLY not managers)
– DH isn’t any better or worse than it’s ever been. clearly players union would want it, it gives more money to more people in their union.

@Grey: not that i heard about, just the yearly “discussions” and i’d make a LARGE bet that 3 batter b.s. won’t go through. they ALREADY have a pitch clock in the rule books that they’ve never enforced if they are actually worried about game length (yes we’re looking at you BOS vs NYY on TV games that take probably an average of 4.5 hours, completely ridiculous pitchers just staring down batters b.s.). nobody needs to screw with the game and make up b.s. rules, just enforce the good rules you already have.

@Grey: i do get why they worry about fans, as i’ve yet to meet one person who actually enjoys when the (mostly AL honestly, this is actually true if you check the length of games in AL vs NL) pitchers just stare at the batter for like a full minute or more before making a pitch. it’s complete garbage and they never should’ve had to wait until they are losing TV viewers to figure out how stupid that is. they’ve for decades or more had rule for that stuff.

– i CAN think of exactly one type of person who does like that, the announcers IF they are being paid by the hour.

Grey,

Easy to nitpick a few things here. First of all, it’s incredibly misleading to make people count higher than is indicated in your title. Yesterday, you said top 100, and I learned how to count to 100, then I didn’t understand what Yasiel Puig was doing there, sneak preview? I dunno. Today, Top 500, I’m like “Ok, baby steps”, and then what do you have, like 689 or something? I CAN’T BE LEARNING ALL THESE NEW NUMBERS!!!

And then I’m used to my baby’s nanna reading your fabulous blurbs to me every morning. But today, she’s just reading statistics to me. And I had heard like the whole top 250 already (I CAN ONLY COUNT), so the blurbs weren’t funny today. But I fell asleep in her giant bosom so all’s right in the world.

Anyway, you busted your behind, we should all buy you a daiquiri or boba tea or whatever you’re into these days, and CHEERS! Great work, great rankings. You know I’m on the same wavelength with Acuña top 5, AL Central pitching bias, etc. Tut tut and with haste, send Grey a beverage!

In a 10-team, h2h categories league where each team can keep up to 6 players without penalty.

I was thinking about selling Sale to acquire Buehler. I figure that we’d probably do some swap of draft picks as well. My thinking is that I’d like to acquire Buehler before he makes the leap into the very top tier of SPs.

If the other guy is willing to go for it, is this a good move? Am I selling Sale too early or getting Buehler too soon?

Good day sir,
Seeking some keeper league assistance …
ESPN, 6 man keep forever, 5X5, 12 team, head to head, starting lineup = 1b, 2b, SS, 3b, C, 5 OF, 1 utility (any position), 5 SP’s and 4 RP’s. We don’t use corner infielder or middle infielder
Options: Betts, Acuna, Bryant, Bellinger, Benintendi, Rizzo, and Bauer
I had planned to keep the 6 bats, however I have warmed to the idea of keeping Bauer.
Who are your 6?
All opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks Grey and razzball community!

Grey, you are amazing!!

My league is a 6×5 (including ops) 10 team, h2h, Yahoo league. I’m trying to use your rankings and take the pitchers out and add them to @Rudy Gamble 6×6 OPS Yahoo rankings. But I’m not sure what size league your rankings are geared towards, 10 team or 12 team? Also, what salary cap are you using? 260? And what split are you giving the hitters to pitchers, 67/33?

I’m trying to figure out what math formula I need to use to deflate/inflate @Rudy Gamble hitters so that the $ value between his hitters and your pitchers is comparing apples to apples. Your pitchers and his 6×6 Yahoo 10 team ops hitters would be a perfect set of rankings for me.

Thanks!

@Rudy Gamble:

Thank you, Rudy!

Which option would be best for me?

1. Take Grey’s SP’s $ amount and multiply it by 0.95 and subtract 1.33, and then combine them with Yahoo 10 team 6×6 OPS

or

2. Take the hitters in Yahoo 10 team 6×6 OPS and multiply their $ amount by 0.94 and then subtract 1.4, and then combine them with Grey’s pitchers

Both options seem to be deflating the $ amount. In option 1 you’re deflating Grey’s pitchers, but in option 2 you’re deflating the hitters in Yahoo 10 team 6×6 OPS. Earlier in the week you suggested I deflate the hitters but then today I thought I’d ask once Grey’s 500 came out. I’d like to combine Grey’s pitchers with your Yahoo 6×6 OPS for 10 teamers, but not sure which $ numbers to deflate, Grey’s pitchers or your hitters? Can you please let me know which of the two options above would be best to achieve this?

Thanks!!

the 6×6 are 12-team too so combine them all and then apply that $ adjustment to all of it. if it’s just a snake draft, you can ignore the last part.

then there’s one other catch. if it is 6×5, hitters are worth a little more. it’s a judgment call though if you want to move off 67/33 hit/pitch split.

@Rudy Gamble:

What do you mean combine and apply that $ adjustment? Do you mean use both of my options above and deflate both the hitters and pitchers?

You then say ignore the last part. Do you mean since it’s a snake draft ignore deflating the hitters and just deflate Grey’s pitchers?

Yes, my league is a 6×5, including ops, Yahoo, 10 team, snake draft.

Since it’s a snake draft you’re saying just deflate Grey’s pitchers and keep the 6×6 OPS hitters $ value the same?

If that’s the case the number one hitter in 6×6 Yahoo 10 OPS is Trout. His value is 64.5. Grey’s number one pitcher is Scherzer at $28. If you then deflate Scherzer’s $ number (28 * 0.95) – 1.33 = 25.27.

Is that correct? The number one hitter is rated 64.5 and the number one pitcher is rated 25.27? That’s a crazy disparity. That’s almost 3x value or $40 between the two.

Rudy, my apologies but I think I misread your reaponse.

You are saying BOTH Grey’s pitching rankings and the Yahoo 6×6 OPS rankings are based on a 12 team league. Bc BOTH are based on a 12 team league there is no need to inflate or deflate either $ amounts on either rankings.

I should combine Grey’s pitching with the Yahoo 6×6 OPS and sort by $ to give me my desired rankings of Yahoo 6×5, 10 team, h2h rankings.

Am I correct? Sorry for the confusion. Thanks!

It’s crazy though how much of a disparity there is between Trout and Scherzer. Trout is $65 and Scherzer is $28. We’ll see where Scherzer falls in on overall rankings once I merge the two rankings. I only used Trout and Scherzer in my example bc they’re both the number one ranked player for hitters and pitchers.

yahoo is weird b/c it’s only 10 hitters. i’m conditioned for 13 or 14 hitters (1 or 2 C). it’s 8 vs 9 pitchers but you can always swap pitchers in/out. so putting 67% of $ into hitters and then only starting 10 really drives up the values of premium hitters.

@Rudy Gamble:

That makes sense. Not only is it 10 starting hitters and 8 starting pitchers (both sp and rp), but my league is 6×5 (including ops) so you’re right. Hitters are extremely more valuable, thus justifying the large gap in $ value between hitters and pitchers. Makes total sense now. Thanks for helping my light bulb go off!

cool. also worth noting that grey always undervalues the top 5 pitchers or based on his preference of never taking SPs in first two rounds (i’m said to undervalue catchers in my model though my values tend to mirror ADP more than most $ calculators). grey’s values tend to mirror the market investment in SPs after the first 5 or so.

Thinkin i can get Yelich/Acuna/Rizzo first 3 picks
At #43 i was going to go Segura but if Hoskins is there i thought about using him at 1B/3B once he is shortly eligible.
So Hoskins or Segura at #43?

Fantastic stuff, thanks Grey!

General question for you. You always have certain guys you’re way higher on than ADP for good reason. What’s your strategy during the draft for these guys? For example momdesi you have 20, let’s say his ADP is 80 (just making that up). Are you drafting him at 20 every single time or maybe waiting until 50 because you think you can wait and still get him. Same for luchessi, you have him 100 ADP is let’s say 200. You grabbing him at 100 every time or maybe splitting the difference and trying to wait until 150 to get a better value?

Hey Grey!

I’m struggling with my last couple of keepers. In a H2H 10 player Dynasty keep 15 players per year for max of 5 years at a time (if a player is dropped they start 5 years again.) Number next to a player is how many years I have them left. What do you think?

Top 11 keepers
Trout (2), Acuna (4), JD Martinez(2), Lindor (2), Mondesi(4) Verlander (2) Trevor Bauer (4) Buehler (4) Eugenio Suarez (4) Matt Olson (3) Tim Anderson (4)

Who would be your last 4?

At first glance the most out of whack ranking to me is Maikel Franco at 515, not sure what’s built into that. Perhaps the idea that the Phillies will acquire Machado, and Machado plays third. Otherwise, seems criminally low for a 26 yr. old that has hit 20 or more homers 3 straight years, and struck out in less than 15% of his abs last year.

Hey Grey – Thanks for all the work you do and free content you provide. Rarely a morning goes by where you fail to get a laugh or smile out of me. But there’s something I don’t understand. You say about The Foaming Lips tier (SP) that if they make it to around 50 overall, or under $30, then you’d happily draft one. However, the Grey dollar values for these guys start at $20 and go down from there. What am I missing?

I do use your values as a guide at my auction, and I think this issue reared its head last year for me. As a result, all the best pitchers went for significantly more than the Grey Values. The prices did not catch up until I ended up with Sonny Gray for $13. Now, due to some excellent advice, I also ended up with Corbin, Snell, Bauer and Wacha, and won my league going away. But I’m not sure that is repeatable.

I don’t like to spend too much more than the expected return on a player at auction. How do I (we) reconcile the Grey Values with the need to get a decent starter with the statement that you would spend significantly more than the Grey Value on certain players?

Sorry for the long, rambling message.
