Fantasy 40/40: Top 10 Fantasy Third Baseman (3B)

Top 10 Fantasy Third Baseman (3B) – As of July 12th

Jose Bautista TOR – .334-31-65-73-5. You could argue that “Joey Bats” was the first half MVP, putting up gaudy numbers and proving last year was no fluke.  You could also argue that he’s the best hitter in baseball right now.  Does he reach 50?  He’s [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 Third Basemen (3B)

I know it’s late in the game, but I’m just getting around to finishing these.  Better late than never as they say, although most of you probably had your drafts this past weekend.

Evan Longoria TB – 2011 Projections: .285-36-118-105-10. With Longo coming off a down year, I see a huge campaign for this Tampa Bay [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 Shortstops (SS)

If you don’t get to draft either Hanley Ramirez or Troy Tulowitzki, you can probably wait. There’s Reyes, Rollins and Jeter.  Injuries, question marks and aging surround those three. There’s Andrus, Furcal and Ramirez.  Not bad options.  Desmond, Brignac and Bartlett.  Like I said, if you miss out on the two studs, there’s no problem [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 Second Basemen (2B)

With question marks surrounding Chase Utley, Robinson Cano slides into the top spot.  He’s 28, entering his prime, plays in a solid ballpark for lefties, in a lineup that would be competitive at an All-Star game.  Don’t get me wrong, I like Utley and thought he was capable of 28/18.  But his lingering health concerns [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 First Basemen (1B)

A lot of the fantasy sites this season are claiming that first base is super deep and you can wait for a slugger in the later rounds.  This is true.  If you don’t mind having Billy Butler, Paul Konerko or Gaby Sanchez as your main guy.  Personally, I won’t wait that long and will grab [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 30 Catchers

Here are my top 30 catchers for fantasy baseball 2011.  I’d like to repeat my catcher strategy when it comes to drafting.  I usually pass.  I’ve never used a pick before round 15 in snake drafts or $5 in auctions.  Catchers are pretty much interchangeable after the elites, so if you miss out on McCann [...]

Fantasy 40/40: The Miguel Cabrera Situation

So he likes to drink.  I have plenty of friends like that.  What’s the big deal?
The big deal is he’s lucky he didn’t kill anyone, first and foremost (I never understand why million dollar athletes just don’t hire a “driver/security guard/off-duty police officer/Denzel Washington in “Man On Fire” type of body guard to just chauffeur [...]

Albert Pujols 1B STL
Hanley Ramirez SS FLA
Miguel Cabrera 1B DET – Thirsty fella?
Evan Longoria 3B TB
Ryan Braun OF MIL
Troy Tulowitzki SS COL
Carl Crawford OF BOS – I want to move him higher.  Could see a .320/22/100/110/45.  No joke.
David Wright 3B NYM – People question.  He answers.  Every year.
Joey Votto 1B
Adrian Gonzalez 1B BOS – Wouldn’t [...]

Fantasy 40/40: 2011 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft Results II

Here’s my second mock draft that I completed.  If you read the first mock draft I posted yesterday (scroll down to read), you’ll see some similarities in my drafting style and overall team feel.
Once again, it was on CBS.  It was a 10-team, AL/NL, 5×5 Roto.  1 C, 1B, 2B, 3B,SS, 5 OF, 2 U, [...]
