Top 500 Prospects for 2018 Fantasy Baseball

I’m really looking forward to sleeping tonight, because I haven’t done much of that the past 2-3 weeks. Instead I’ve been working on my deepest ranking ever. Agonizing over each rank, guessing which players you’ll yell at me for over-ranking, and which I under-ranked. At the end of the day, anything after like 250-270 is a crap-shoot, and it all comes down to preference. I prefer not to draft pitching prospects until late, and the rankings reflect that. I would look at pitchers more in relation to each other, than in relation to hitters. I know after my Top 100 dropped there were many questions regarding my avoidance of pitching. That’s not to say I stayed away entirely, but based on my experience, were we to draft a new dynasty team today, the pitching prospects would go off the board way later than the mainstream lists are ranking them. Even in my points league where pitching is paramount, managers have smartened up, targeted high end hitting prospects, and started to add pitchers when they’re a little closer to the majors, when much of the risk has evaporated. My roto leagues have long operated this way, and its proven to be a winning strategy. My hope is to start some dialogue, aid you in your dynasty leagues, and maybe get a few players into your radar, Hell, perhaps I overlook a few players and you get them onto my radar. I refrained from ranking any of the 2018 July 2nd class. We’re still a year away from many of their stateside debuts and not everyone has signed. You can use last week’s FYPD rankings to figure how they would slot on this list. Thanks to Rudy’s efforts, the rankings are searchable by name, position, level, and ETA. Enough with the long-winded intro, you got ranks to read! It’s the Top 500 Prospects for Keeper leagues and Dynasty.
