Fantasy outfield values you need to remember in 2010

Ryan Braun was pretty awesome last season, smacking more than 30 homers and setting a career high with 20 steals.

You’re a fantasy owner with a lot on your plate. Time is growing short. Lineups need to be finalized. Last-minute waiver pickups need to be made.
So, out of respect for your time (and because I don’t feel all that well at the moment), I’ll cut straight to the chase this week.
The following are my Week [...]
