2010 composite fantasy baseball first base rankings

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 [...]

Ranking the top 20 first basemen in fantasy baseball for 2010

If you don’t end up with 20 homers out of your first baseman, you’re not trying hard enough or you are very, very unlucky.

Again, this project reviewed three different and highly respected sets of fantasy projections — CHONE, Marcel and FanGraphs fan consenusus — to pinpoint [...]

15 RBI kings to build around in 2010

Fantasy baseball projectionists are, uh, projecting far fewer 100-RBI hitters than you might expect for 2010.
Only seven players drove in 100 in all three sets of projections reviewed for this article. The number is  surprising considering 32 players drove in 99 or more in 2009.
So, these top six guys, consider them a lock to reach [...]
