Yes, Albert Pujols dominates the position. He dominates fantasy baseball as a whole
But if you aren’t lucky enough to draft in the top slot of your fantasy league, all is not lost.
As shown by the following composite rankings (compiled from projections provided by ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo, FoxSports and CBS Sportsline), there is a variety of worthwhile statistical talent atop the position for your picking enjoyment.
Don’t miss similar composite rankings at catcher, shortstop and closer. Continue reading ‘2010 composite fantasy baseball first base rankings’

When putting together a composite rankings list such as the one below, it is easy at times to see certain statistical trends.
For example, looking at overall composite scores, the top overall shortstop is a no-brainer. There is a similar drop between the No. 5 shortstop and the rest of the list.
Check it out yourself. The following composite shortstop rankings incorporates rankings from Sports Illustrated, Fanball, Sporting News, ESPN and Yahoo (which is a composite of their four fantasy writers).

And no, that doesn’t mean you should run around with your neighbor’s wife.
Have you ever watched Tiger Woods play golf? Studied his swing, his follow-through, his reaction to a shot?

When the first running back comes off the board on April 22, the name called will be Clemson senior CJ Spiller.
Spiller, who will turn 23 in August, is a 5-11, 195-pound highlight reel of a running back.
The consensus of draft experts have him going to the Seahawks with the 14th overall pick. That’s high for a running back who couldn’t get out from under James Davis‘ shadow at Clemson.
However, Spiller’s all-purpose ability has scouts salivating. Continue reading ‘2010 NFL Draft target dossier: Clemson RB CJ Spiller’

Think sliced bread, indoor plumbing and Chia Pets are special?
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
We’re on the verge of experiencing something truly amazing in 2010 and beyond. There’s a new stable of able running backs in the NFL, and you can thank an opportunistic bunch of rookie 2009 backs for giving us what will be quite a good show in the coming months and years … and for giving us something to debate right now.
So, which of the the following young backs will be the next elite fantasy force? Let the debating begin … Continue reading ‘Dynasty Debate: The next elite crop of fantasy RBs’
