Notes:
- I care for Hill a great deal. He could have a breakout season.
- I may have mentioned I have a fantasy baseball man-crush on Utley. He's dreamy. In a gets-good-stats sort of way.
- One (or more) of Cano, Kinsler, Weeks, or Kendrick is going to have a season that will push them up into second round territory for 2009. My rankings reflect the likelihood of each.
- This position is getting deeper. You can wait a while and still get a pretty decent player.
