Looking solely at 2015 fantasy baseball rankings is not best way to prepare for your draft, but it helps us process the idea of how valuable each MLB player has in fantasy. The smell of fresh cut grass in parts of Arizona and Florida signal the start of spring training and what is the greatest season in all of sports. As evidenced by the Kansas City Royals last year, any team can make a run at a championship if they can endure the triumphs and disasters over the next seven or so months.
This year’s fantasy baseball rankings are headlined by the usual suspects with the likes of Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen and Clayton Kershaw. Looking deeper you see a guy like Cuban defective, Jose Abreu, creeping into the top 10 after last year’s coming out party. There may not be another player of Abreu’s caliber lurking in the later rounds, but rest assured that great value can be had at an optimum price or round.
Generally speaking and depending on your league’s settings, pitchers are thinner in talent than hitters with top-tier hurlers being even harder to come by. Investing an at least one ace and another ‘lights out’ bullpen arm as a foundation for your pitching staff.
Top producers at certain positions are traditionally harder to come by like catchers, second basemen and shortstops. The stolen base is becoming a lost art while power numbers remain steady and spread out amongst players.
