2010 Outfield Rankings Part 1
Many people think that the outfield is the deepest position and if you just look at it by the number of quality players the play it then you would be correct. However, unlike the other positions each fantasy team needs multiple guys in the outfield. Especially in leagues that require four or even five outfielders, there isn't enough talent to go around. So, while you might not need to use a first round pick on an outfielder, don't wait too long figuring that there are plenty of quality guys to go around. Below are the top 30 outfielders for fantasy baseball in 2010.
Don't Worry About Jose
By now we all are aware that Mets shortstop Jose Reyes has been diagnosed with an overactive or hyperthyroid gland. Reyes wasn't experiencing any symptoms from this condition and it was only found through routine blood tests that all players have as part of their physicals.
So what happens to Reyes and his fantasy value now? He is expected to miss anywhere from 3-8 weeks while he rests and takes medicine to get his levels in check. This condition along with his recovery from major hamstring surgery last year is giving fantasy players second thoughts about making Reyes their starting shortstop this season. In the past 3 days we've been seeing his average draft position already falling from 19th to 25th overall and it seems like more and more people are jumping off board by the minute. Don't do it.
Austin Jackson -- OF -- Detroit Tigers
2009 Minor League Stats: .300/.354/.405, 4 HR, 65 RBI, 67 runs, 24 steals
Scouting Report: Jackson is an athlete learning to play baseball. While he has an athletic build and is fleet afoot, he doesn't exactly offer big upside in either homers or steals. Many scouts believe that Jackson's power will come but he isn't getting any help moving to Detroit's less HR friendly confines. He has a mechanincally sound swing which has allowed him to hit for a high average in nearly all his minor league stops. Jackson is projected as a quality leadoff hitting prospect and that is exactly what he'll do in Detroit. If he can continue to develop a patient approach at the plate and draw walks to get on base he can be a steady contributor in runs scored, batting average and OBP.
