So, here are the top 250 fantasy players for 2008, ranked by Fantasy Value Above Replacement Player (FVARP). I've adjusted a few things here and there, so some players have moved around within their position. (Hanley Ramirez is now slightly ahead of Jose Reyes, for example.) I've also included everyone's ranking in the Yahoo fantasy game for comparison purposes. Enjoy.
Notes:
- Yes, I realize that almost every catcher looks higher than he should be. Is taking Victor Martinez 17th overall crazy? Maybe. But maybe not when you consider what you could get stuck with if you wait until the 15th round. In general, I would not take a catcher that high unless he was truly a superstar (think Mike Piazza in his prime), however, I would not think less of some who would. These rankings are based purely on my projections and how they relate to each player's value versus a replacement-level player at his position.
- I didn't give pitchers any kind of boost based on their value above a replacement-level player simply because pitchers' stats are so notoriously variable and difficult to project. If I had done that, you would see the first few rounds absolutely dominated by starting pitchers.
- There were a few players (Prior and Bonds) who weren't listed on Yahoo! yet. Bonds I understand. Prior, not so much.
