Top 500 for 2020 Fantasy Baseball

Four score and seventeen-hundred rankings posts ago, my Fordfathers said, “Stop calling us Fordfathers, you idiot, it’s forefathers.” In order to form a more perfect fantasy baseball ranking system, we stopped ranking for fantasy baseball and simply said, “Eff it, let’s just let Grey rank 500 or so Mr. So-and-So’s.” Or, more succinctly, the top 500 for 2020 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 Ronald Acuña Jr. Jr. Jr. Today, in this year, twenty after twenty, comes the top 500 for 2020 fantasy baseball. Or as I like to call it, “Did he really rank Mr. So-and-So before Mr. So-and-So Jr.?” If Mr. So-and-So Jr. would stop chasing pitches in the dirt, I might’ve ranked him in front of Mr. So-and-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 Ketel Marte better than Keston Hiura, according to the top 20 2nd basemen, but do I like Ketel Marte better than Starling Marte or anyone else in the Marte family? Okay, it’s not that simple. You should read the blurbs for all players, but this top 500 should give you an idea. 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, Jurickson Profar is ranked vs. Sean Doolittle. If you need saves, Profar isn’t going to help you. He can be ranked 50 spots in front of Doolittle and it doesn’t matter. That’s why I have the 2020 fantasy baseball rankings broken down by positions. If you need a 1st baseman, where Evan White vs. Garrett Cooper matters, but where Evan White is ranked vs. Kevin Kiermaier really doesn’t matter. Also, there’s no comments about players, which you really should know prior to drafting. In other words, Alex Bregman might be in the 20’s overall, but am I drafting him? Well, you’d know if you read my top 20 for 2020 fantasy baseball.  There’s also a top 100 for 2020 fantasy baseball to help you. Also, there’s Rudy’s War Room, which is downloadable, and it comes with Razzball Subscriptions. Anyway, here’s the top 500 for 2020 fantasy baseball:

Looking for a little keeper advice.
10 team Roto, other keeper’s are:
Hitters-Freeman (7th rd), Hiura (17th rd) Eloy (14th rd), Moustakas (11th rd), Bichette (15th rd)
Pitchers – Giolito (16th rd), Fried (13th rd), Gallen (12th rd)

Given Paxton’s injury and the unreliability of Glasnow.
Who would you keep?
I’d have to give up another pitcher and Glasnow (21st rd) to keep Paxton (8th rd).
Feel like there are so many pitching options available trying to make the best choice.

Thanks!

Grey!

Salutations. First post of the year. It’s about that time again.

Hope all is well.

2 leagues, one is in its 4th year, keeper, this year keep 5.

I made some dumb choices and some dumb draft choices and mixed with bad luck I took 1st in 2017, 2nd in 2018, and essentially last in 2019.

I kept Hoskins over Bellinger along with Stanton, Benintendi, and Juan Soto (I traded Kris Bryant for Soto and Bellinger at the deadline the year before).

My keeper backfired.

This is what I got and I’m not thrilled what so ever as I don’t really know who to keep. I will name the guys that are keepable lol.

Keep 5

Obvious
-Juan Soto*

The rest
-Yordan Alvarez*
-Ozzie Albies*
-Jack Flahtery*
-Shane Bieber*
-Luis Castillo
-Victor Robles
-Rhys Hoskins
-Giancarlo Stanton
-Tim Anderson
-Marcus Semien

* is who I plan to keep. I don’t want to keep 2 pitchers but I think Soto, Albies, Alvarez which is OF, OF, 2B going into the draft and 2 SP I can really focus on bats in the first half of the draft.

It’s a shit show. I have one top 15 guy. I’m
Overblowing it because I know my guys are solid and I’ll draft well this year, but some of the choices I made and not keeping Bellinger came back to bite me now that we’re keeping more than 3 players.

Thanks Grey!

Grey,
Great to have baseball around again. Excellent work yet again with the rankings.

So, to get right to it, I have a Keeper question. It is a 12 Team Yahoo H2H League with OPS and Holds, and we can keep up to 2 players. I have the following potentials:

Rendon in the 3rd
Bellinger in the 4th
Bieber in the 9th
Giolito in the 12th

I think that’s it. I was initially thinking Rendon and Bellinger, but now I may be leaning Bellinger and Bieber. Bellinger is a must, but the other? Thoughts?

Thanks much Grey.

You could probably cut your work in half on this post each year by making a top 250 followed by “SAGNOF+catchers+fill lineup holes” for picks 251+. Just trying to give you some more mustache grooming time.

Some position players are jumping out at me when looking at recent ADP. Escobar is around 120 overall, is 2B/3B eligible, and is coming off of a 94/35/118/.269 season. Even with some regression, that feels like an overcorrection. Segura is outside of the top 200 now. .280/15/15 isn’t unreasonable to expect there. Andujar is around 260. Is anyone confident that Urshela will hold down the 3B job all season? Travis Shaw is outside of the top 300. Should get plenty of playing time. Good home park. Could be a 30 HR guy practically for free.

You had me up until Travis Shaw, then I swooned hard…Travis Shaw is amazing, thank you! Kidding, he’s terrible, but he will win the MVP this year

At 250 is where must people’s leagues stop…But if I were to do that, I’d have so many comments, like, “You forgot to rank Isan Diaz.” When I didn’t forget, I just stopped at 250

Doesn’t Shaw make everyone swoon? He’s swooning his way onto the waiver wire in a lot of early drafts. Tinkered with his swing after two good years for some strange reason, and then his season was lost by the time he tried to fix it. Says he’s back to his old ways. Worth a flier.

I’m not sure how many people outside of deep/dynasty leagues know who Isan Diaz is. Now you’re just making things up.

I’m just referring to casual fantasy players, as I alluded to above. I’d be surprised if many of them even heard of Diaz.

Did you own Shaw last year? I always find it interesting how player evaluation differs based on personal experience. A bust like Shaw might be removed completely from his previous owners’ draft boards, while guys who performed well down the stretch and maybe helped win you a championship (like an Olson) get moved way up. See it every year.

Shaw was a mess last year, but I think it was due to his ill-advised swing change. Don’t think it takes 2+ years for the league to develop a scouting report on you, and he was solid in ’17 and ’18. Going back to what worked for him. It doesn’t hurt that he won’t have to face a couple of divisional lefties (Price and Paxton, for a good chunk of time anyway) either.

Actually thought he was in the 31-32 year old range, but he’ll still be 29 on opening day. Isn’t that crazy? Feels like he’s been around longer.

Keep 6, no term limits. 12 team points league.
Keeping – Acuna, Bregman, Alonso, Giolito, Scherzer

Now, every team typically keeps 2 SP to 4 bats, so there’s plenty of pitching to be had. But I hate to throw back my third strong SP option, Nola. I’m actually debating keeping Nola over Scherzer. My next best bat keeper is Hoskins or maybe Lux? I liked Hoskins coming in, but you seem to have soured on him.

So you like Nola as the last keeper or Hoskins? I’ll probably keep Hoskins for the upside, plus the abundance of pitching available, regardless of what you say. Man, you are such a good listener! Thanks!

The top 500! Shit’s getting real. I’m getting (more than) the vibe that you need to get out of the first round or two with some speed.

Obviously you’re talking in terms of standard roto.

Would you say that this is a *little* less relevant to H2H? I know you never want to punt a category altogether, but I’ve generally found that speed is a little less important there. Might lead me to pass over someone like Treat Urner in the first round for example.

That said, there are some pretty need power/speed combo guys in the first round…

Yeah but I’m thinking there’s not quite the same imperative to come out of the first couple of rounds with some speed in H2H.

I mean if I follow your rankings (and I will) it would be hard not to, but it might make me less likely to draft Treat and Mondesi, for example.

My H2H is QS instead of W, so it makes sense to look a little earlier than I might otherwise for a #1. Based on putting your rankings and Rudy’s QS projections into a bag and shaking them up, the guy who falls out and who is not one of the top, top guys is Corbin.

Sound about right as a target?

Or could I afford to wait until where Bauer and company are ranked?

Offer Moncada and see what he does. I’d try to keep Arenado and Devers.

DeGrom has had some injury issues. He had Tommy John surgery in 2010 and missed all of 2011. They say the lifespan on that surgery is usually 7-8 years, and DeGrom had some issues early last season if you recall. My bet is DeGrom’s elbow gives out in the next two years or at least he starts to slow down.

Trade Julio Rodriguez and Luis Patino for Jose Ramirez? I need 3B but not sure I need it that bad.

It’s like my birthday when Grey’s Top 500 comes out. I now have meaning and purpose to my days.

Pick 4 of the following choices (I have to give up the round value in parentheses), and I have the last pick in the first round, snake draft:

deGrom (1)
Yelich (2)
Lindor(3)
Juan Soto (12)
Ozzie Albies (4)
Eloy Jimenez (13)
Luis Castillo (10)
Bo Bichette (24)

What’s up, Grey!

I get to keep three guys this year. $280 budget, 12 team mixed league.
Hitting: R, HR, RBI, AVG, OPS, SB, K
Pitching: QS, W, ERA, WHIP, Saves, K, K/9

Which three would you go with:

Villar $17
Rendon $34
Moustakas $28
Rizzo $42
Acuna $27
Betts $58
Springer $31
Tatis $11
Gibson $10
Pineda $9
Will Smith (RP) $14
Iglesia $16
Corbin $17
Clevinger $30
Boyd $8
Soler $8
Duffy $8

I’m leaning toward Acuna and Tatis. The third spot I’m thinking its either Soler or Corbin.

Thanks!

1st pick question. Playing in a H2H league where there are 10 hitting categories. We get to keep one hitter from last year and I’ve got Mookie. I have the #1 overall pick-Is trout a clear pick over Bellinger or would you take a chance that Cody could repeat.
Thanks

Video of Anime Grey yelling out the window about his problems was great, LOL.

There’s a crazy man in my apt building, or near my building (hard to tell, but he’s somewhere below me), who has these psychotic outbursts yelling out the window, chanting things such as, “U-S-A!, U-S-A!, U-S-A!”

Or some crazier ones dropping incoherent F-bombs that I can’t recall at this time, since waking up to that at 9am on a Saturday morning is something you try to forget.

hahaha, maybe my favorite thing you’ve ever bestowed upon me. I member

Sooooo… I just entered my first ever NFBC draft! $150 DC, 1-hour clock, bought a 3-pack to save those precious $25.

Of course, guy with the first pick isn’t online! Started at 5:25 EST, so he’s got 40mins left… can’t imagine those 4-hour waits.

KDS style — got my first pick, which was 7th overall. I’ve always liked the middle in fantasy, and figured I’m almost guaranteed to get a 5-category guy here. Thinking it’ll likely be Story or Lindor.

But really, I got the 3-pack so I could do one draft now before spring training (hoping to capitalize on some values), and get familiar w/ everything on the site (kind of confusing tbh!). One draft before the season starts (injuries). And I might try one of those 55 secs per round drafts, depending how this goes, since that seems like a war of attrition (as they say), and think that suits me well.

Let me know if you got any random tips!

Then I’ll probably do one regular non-draft and hold league on here. Maybe an RCL too?!?

PS, checkout my dumb story I wrote for you here: https://razzball.com/top-100-for-2020-fantasy-baseball/#comment-2938497

You should do a Razzball NFBC DC, we’ll put it together in about 2-3 weeks — and of course an RCL

If it’s DC you’re in, I’d scooch up my SPs, and make sure you draft a ton of them at the end…RPs lose some value too

Down for all things Razzball! I’ll keep my eyes and ears peeled for more info :)

Thanks for the advice. Makes sense since pitchers are so fragile — and getting “talented setup men” is how you get a tent to rise among fantasy baseballers!

PS, having gone through this, (probably not an original thought), DCs are likely what sort of mess up certain ADPs like setup men going earlier than they should.

Catcha later. I’m tired and not feelin’ to hot! Took way too long to write that haha

Grey – As always, thank you for all the work, posts and rankings. I rely on them year-in and year-out, and have been VERY successful. I do have a question, however…

In your “Fill my holes with dry rice to reduce moistness” Tier for SPs, you say that “If they make it to around 50 overall, or under $30, then I’d happily draft one to reduce my moistness, and remove the dry rice from my holes.” However, you have zero SPs priced at $30 or above (yes, I know, never draft a top SP), and the guys in this Tier are all either $18 or $19. But realistically, none will go for so little. And you seem willing to go considerably higher for them.

So what is my question? I’m not really sure. I guess, why the low auction value if you are willing to go to nearly $30 for these guys?

Thanks.

I pay $24 for a SP all the time, but depends on the league…Not in a 12-teamer prolly, but there’s exceptions all the time…If Cole fell for $24-27 then sure (but he won’t)

hmmm… you might be right now that i think about it. rankings range where there’s a mix of known value and decent chance for upside to “take the next step”. top 100 is usually known value with a handful of hype trains. After the money range is usually total speculation or low ceiling “high” floor types.

Not sure if my first post went through or not. Keeper trade in h2h league. Players you can keep as long as you want no pick or value attached. Would you trade Clevinger for Matt Olson? Reason I ask is Clevinger has the higher ranking but I tend to value hitters a little more.

Grey, thanks for all the help last year, it lead to winning the title for the 2nd time. I have a keeper question for this year. 12 team league, 6×6 (OBP), $300 auction budget with 10 keepers and $5 add to their cost every year,

7 “I think” no doubters,

2B Huira – $6
3B Rendon – $44
OF Acuna – $15
OF Soto – $10
OF Meadows – $6

SP deGrom – $32
SP Giolitio – $5

Who would you keep out of the rest for your final 3 keepers

Grandal $14
Freeman $57
Soroka $5
Wheeler $11
Keiboom $6
Taylor Rogers $5
Machado $40

fyi, we are in the middle of voting to change a pitchng category from L’s to K/9 so that would hurt Soroka even more.

Grey! I’m so sad that the ranks are almost over. Thanks for all your work.

Question on Paxton …225 feels pretty low since he can be stashed on DL/IL/IR/PUP/WTF. There’s obviously risk with more setbacks, but the chance he gives 120 elite innings seems higher than guys like Luzardo or Heaney that you have 50 spots ahead of him. Are you just concerned that he has a setback and returns in September?

From Amazin Avenue

“Davis’s defense never improved, even in left field. FanGraphs had him at -4.7 UZR and -11 DRS. It’s hard to accurately judge defense, even with the defensive metrics in place, but the eye test backed it up. He misjudged fly balls and could not quite get to others that perhaps natural outfielders would’ve caught.”
