Ranking the Top 20 outfielders in fantasy baseball for 2010

Outfielders will be reviewed 20 at a time in an effort to keep this list from getting too lengthy. These are the Top 20 and they are among the elite of the elite in fantasy baseball.
As with every other one of these rankings, the comments verify or deny the ADP base. Tiers are included where [...]

Player rankings: The Top 10 in Fantasy Baseball for 2010

If there’s one player in the top-10 in fantasy baseball in 2010 that I don’t want, it’s Evan Longoria. And that’s only because he’s in the Top -10.

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 isĀ  surprising considering 32 players drove in 99 or more in 2009.
So, these top six guys, consider them a lock to reach [...]
