I’ve recently listed my Top 10 overall for 2012. Note: Ryan Braun has been added my Top 10, so, technically, all these guys move down one slot. So here’s my 12-21.
12. Adrian Gonzalez 1B, BOS. I don’t know if the power drop-off was due to his shoulder issues or adapting to an easy, giant, left [...]
I started listing my early overall rankings on Friday providing my TOP 10 so far. I continue it today with 11-20. These rankings will change when my official projections come out. Basically, a rough draft on a cocktail napkin, this is how they stack up so far.
I’ve been changing my 4 thru 16 picks like [...]
These are the final 2010 fantasy baseball rankings for the outfielders. Speed is the theme here. Lots of guys who stole lots of bases. Also, the overall average age is coming down a bit, with older veterans getting weeded out. Something to think about as 2011 drafts approach.
The number in the parentheses is their pre-season, [...]
Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez agreed to an extension yesterday. It’s reportedly worth $80 million over the next seven years.

Wow, a Scott Boras client actually extended before he hit free agency. Well, I guess the signing isn’t official yet, but should be done pending a [...]

50. A 50 spot. 50 Bagel. 5 small, short stacks. 50. Congratulations to Jose Bautista for hitting numero 50. The guy has played for five teams in seven seasons. No one saw this coming. His previous season high? 16. After reading up on him, it appears he and Cito Gaston found something, made a tweak [...]

Carlos Gonzalez COL – Cargo went 1 for 3 with [...]
