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 2021 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, Blackjack after Twenty, comes the top 500 for 2021 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 Brandon Lowe, 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, Raimel Tapia is ranked vs. Hector Neris. If you need saves, Tapia isn’t going to help you. He can be ranked 50 spots in front of Neris and it doesn’t matter. That’s why I have the 2021 fantasy baseball rankings broken down by positions. If you need a 1st baseman, where Bobby Dalbec vs. Ty France matters, but where Dalbec is ranked vs. Nate Pearson really doesn’t matter. Also, there’s no comments about players, which you really should know prior to drafting. In other words, Shane Bieber might be in the 20’s overall, but am I drafting him? Well, you’d know if you read my top 20 for 2021 fantasy baseball.  There’s also a top 100 for 2021 fantasy baseball to help you. Also, there’s Rudy’s War Room, which is downloadable, and it comes free with Razzball Subscriptions. Anyway, here’s the top 500 for 2021 fantasy baseball:

Team looks solid! I think your pitching is great, would be nice to see a little better closers, but that’s minor issue…Hitting looks great, but you look low on AVG

Hey Grey, looking for some advice on a trade that was proposed to me in my 10 team, head-to-head points dynasty league: Betts for Buehler and Flaherty.

I’m just about finished with my rebuild and should be pretty competitive for the next few seasons, however my pitching staff is lacking in top-end talent (Berrios, Wheeler, McCullers, Lamet, Corbin, Pearson). I feel that my outfield depth is solid (Soto, Betts, Eloy, Castellanos, Robles, with Kiriloff & Julio Rodriguez on my minor roster), as is my infield depth (Tatis Jr, Vlad Jr, Rendon, Gleyber, Baez, Bohm, Voit, with Wander on my minor roster).

I love the idea of adding two potential aces to my roster, but obviously recognize the risk of trading away possibly the top points league position player. It has always been my plan to build up a strong position group to use as trade bait for starting pitching once I was ready to compete, but I’m having a hard time evaluating the risk/reward of this offer. The risk is really what’s keeping me up at night thinking about this trade, would love to hear your thoughts.

I think you keep Bregman(age) and unless you’re building probably hold Dalbec. Gorman probably won’t be up until 2022.

I’d be getting Bregman…. His age was a factor that had me leaning his way.

I can hold Gorman in a minor spot… just thought Dalbec May have sleeper potential in the Red Sox line up.

Head to head, 5×5, Dynasty

Offered Acuna, Bummer, LeClerq for Bieber, Castillo, Snell, and Laureano

I’m leaning no. But its Acuna. What do you think?

I still have Carrasco, Lopez, and Kershaw to build around.

I’ve had a deal like that before that backfired in my face. Yes, the best player is by far Acuna but all that pitching is hard to replace. It’s basically the #1 pick for the #15, #40, #45 on avg. If you’re in a 5×5 where pitching is just as important (like my league) you really can’t afford to lose all those guys.

I agree with Mike, but another aspect of that is age. You do the deal and you’re left with two pitchers in Carrasco who are older, have injury history, and Kershaw just said in an interview this week he doesn’t know if he will be playing after 2021. I’d counter with Bieber, carrasco and Kershaw for Acuña, but I wouldn’t do it as offered.

On a sidenote, please tell me that youve watched the Patriot. A friend turned me onto this show and I cant get over how good it is. Havent laughed this hard in a long time. Cant for the life of me understand why it would be cancelled after only two seasons.

My kids talked me into doing a team this year. I didn’t follow the season last year at all. We opened a second grocery store in April and well…the whole thing is a gauzy blur. I read all your rankings this weekend. Man , you are a machine. Between the write ups and the comment responses, is there anybody in the world who has published more words than you in the last 10 years?

On a different topic, I got a television this year. So I was watching The Love Boat the other day on something called Pluto TV. As a sidebar, watching TV changed A LOT since I last had one. Anyhoo, I was watching Love Boat and Donny Most was on and if I closed my eyes I could swear it was your voice. Big Ralph Malph energy, Albright.

The Love Boat is an evergreen. You gonna give me Joe Namath and Phil Harris in one episode? Spelling you magnificent bastard.

I have no idea how to approach this season. When the kids and I played in 2019, we had the worst pitching I think I’ve ever had on any team I drafted. Innings were so hard to come by. The waiver wire was a wasteland.

I see you standing firm on no early pitching. There is a big assumption in there that all pitchers are going to see reduced innings across the board. The NFBC ADP data seems to suggest that folks are thinking that there will be a top tier who continue to top 200 innings.

The bottom tier of starters seem almost totally useless with both poor rates and sub 150 IPs. How are middle relievers going to be used, if at all, in an NFBC season long?

The Love Boat is the Nelson Cruzes of TV shows

Early ADP is especially goofy this year — even Rudy thinks early pitching this year is not a good way to go…Last year’s Player Rater shows how crazy pitching was last year…And tho I think it might be slightly *less* crazy, it’s going to be a wild ride — with a lot less sheer volume and a lot more streaming — with a ton of guys going ~70-100 IP

10-team H2H keeper trade offer.

A. Jose Abreu, Luis Castillo, Nolan Jones, 6th round pick.
B. Anthony Rizzo, Chris Paddack, Tristan McKenzie, Spencer Torkelson

Which side do you prefer? Rizzo’s lack of strikeouts makes him rate highly in this league, (averaging more ppg than Abreu over the last few seasons except for 2020) making this a tough decision for me. I like Castillo and Abreu, but two young SP’s and Torkelson are tough to move.

Thoughts? Thanks.

Hey Grey,

As usual, thanks for your rankings, and I look forward to your updates as well!

I need your expertise on keepers in a 12 team, auction re-draft. I can keep up to $180 cap. So far my keepers are:
Cavan Biggio-$9, Jose Ramirez-$9, Lindor-$21, Rendon-$3, Betts-$9, Harper-$41, Bauer-$16,
Darvish-$14, Castillo-$21, Berrios-$4, Bundy-$1 and Liam Hendriks-$2..total of$150.

Your thoughts with an extra $30, I could go:
Max Scherzer-$30 or Matt Olson-$30. Or a combo of Sal Perez-$19 & Eddie Rosario-$9 or Sal Perez$19 & Kyle Lewis-$9 or Sal Perez-$19 & Sixto-$9 or Sal Perez and Dylan Moore-$9

Thanks,

Trying really hard to find some stuff to argue about with the rankings since I know you love that.

Would you realllllly draft Santander if you saw Stanton at the top of the best available bats when your pick came up?

Would you really draft the Gregorius D I D if Correa was available? At 24 years old and penciled in to the 4th spot in that lineup between Brantly and Yordan….you gotta go Correa!

Yo Grey — happy 2021 — finally back and ready for another baseball season.

Need some help picking some keepers in a 10 team H2H league. It’s 8×8 categories, with AVG, OPS, NSB & WHIP, K/BB & QS to give some reference.

I can keep 4 pitchers and 4 hitters. I feel like I have the dreamboat of pitchers and the worst of the hitters based on all of your writings… If you could provide your infinite wisdom and select 4 pitchers and hitters, I would forever be in your debt (please don’t ask for money, I lost last year)

Pitchers — Darvish (6th Rd), Woodruff (22nd Rd), Gallen (25th Rd), PLopez (25th Rd), Wheeler (20th Rd), Devin Williams (25th Rd)

Hitters — KLewis (25th Rd), Verdugo (15th Rd), Baez (4th Rd), Swanson (11th Rd), Biggio (7th Rd), Carlson (13th Rd), Abreu (1st Rd), Rendon (2nd Rd), Judge (10th Rd)

Appreciate your help as always!

Yep definitely stuck on the hitters. I am high on Baez again, I think he could bounce back in a huge way and would hate to lose him at a 4th round value. Only reason I wouldn’t keep Abreu is so I could keep Baez and hope to re-draft him.

If I was able to secure Ketel Marte for a 25th round pick via trade, would you keep him over any of your previous selections above?

this could be realllly good. early depth charts (which mean likely little in less than 2 months) say he’s lefty only guy, fuentes starting all the time. the righty side guys being mcmahon (3B) and hilliard (righty)/desmond (lefty, i’ll believe this CF one when i see it, and hope it’s real). so i guess it’s cron at 1B, fuentes at 3B against lefties or something like that. i doubt cron plays 3B as well as fuentes might.

in our Bobby’s world draft, started out with Bellinger and Bichette. Used your ranks to think I came up with nice combo of power, speed and other hitting categories.

Guess this is part you tell me that maybe pitching takes more of priority??

Thank you for these rankings! Who do you like better over the next couple years, Tim Anderson or Javier Baez? I am a big Baez fan and I agree with you that Baez 2020 should be thrown out. He and Anderson are basically the same player with power and speed stats inverted. I also feel like Anderson is locked into leadoff on what should be an team entering contender status, whereas Baez could float around the batting order on a team that is slowly worsening (thanks Rizzo’s cranky back and Bryant’s injuries) but still pretty good.

Hey Grey!

Excited to be back for another year. I’ve got a bit of a keeper dilemma in an ongoing league, although too many good keepers to choose from isnt always the worst thing. It’s keep 5 at particular rounds here are my options:

Potential:

Arenado – RD1
Turner – RD2
Bauer – RD3
Urias – RD9
Soler RD20
Lemahieu: RD21
Bellinger RD14
Albies RD15

FA:
Mountcastle RD22
Edman RD22/23

Bubble:
Mackenzie Gore RD 18

Pick prob too high:
Sonny Gray – RD 4
Dinelson Lamet – RD5
Mondesi – RD6
Maeda – RD7

Right now I’m thinking:

Bauer – RD3
Turner – RD2
Lemahieu: RD21
Bellinger RD14
Albies RD15

But I’d love some confirmation bias. Thanks again for all your rankings and preseason info – excited for a full season of baseball to start!

Hi Grey,

Dynasty question. I play in a 3 OF format H2H categories (16 teams). Will be keeping a $19 Castellanos ($300 budget) and also have the option to keep a $4 Mark Canha and $2 Hunter Renfroe. Should I keep all 3 or would I be sacrificing SBs too much to do this?

So Mr. Grey,

In a in 12 team 5×5 weekly roto leagues.

Regarding starting pitching, believe you have advised not to take starters until like pick 50-60 (round 5) or when like 10-12 starters have come off board.

With your rankings, that would maybe leave me with sp1 of something like Castillo, woodruff, Gallen or Ryu. Would you see issues that was the case. Likely would mean that my 1st 4 picks would hopefully be 4 good hitters.

Thanks

The Betts deal fell apart. He offered me his Betts ($47) and minor league prospect Bryant Packard. In return he asked for (get this) Javier Baez ($21), Franmil Reyes ($14), Deivi Garcia ($7) and minor league prospect Julio Rodriguez. I turned that down flat.

These 3-4 for 1 trades are funny in a keeper/dynasty situation. You get Betts and free up those extra keeper slots. The question is can you find equal value, for the ones you traded away, in draft/off-waivers? If you can even get close to equal value, wouldn’t it be like getting Mookie free?

Does that make sense?

Hi All – I’m entering year 4 of a 10 team h2h league. 6×6 with TB and OBP and QS. We keep 12. I have won this league twice by getting lucky/smart with pitching. I’ve traded DeGrom in season last year and just traded Bauer for Trea. Re-inventing my team as an offensive juggernaut. My team is below. I know Grey love Kyle Lewis so I think I need to keep him over Rizzo. Would also consider Corbin if his velo is back in Spring.

C – open
1B – open
2B – Hiura
3B – Rendon
IF – Bregman
OF – Trout
OF – Springer
OF – Arozarena
OF – Kyle Lewis?
UTil – open
P – Cole
P – Bieber
P – Sixto
P – Gore
Other options: Rizzo, Austin Meadows, Patrick Corbin, Sal Perez
