2009 Fantasy Baseball Rankings - Third Base

Third base rankings. As always, subject to change. Here's an explanation of FV. Enjoy.




Notes:

  • I was in love with Longoria last year, but the hype has become too much. He's a great player with huge upside, but the batting average will be a drag on his value.
  • Guys with upside: Davis, Encarnacion, Gordon, Kouzmanoff.
  • McPherson might hit 40 homers. Probably not, but it's possible. He also might hit below .200. If you're in a deep league, he's definitely worth a late-round flyer, though.
  • Conspicuously absent: Casey Blake. He ranks 32nd. I think he sucks. There, I said it.
  • Remember the last time Beltre was in a contract year? He probably won't hit 48 homers this year, but don't be surprised if he steps up his performance a little. Plus, he's been very consistent the past three years. I fully endorse drafting Beltre in the middle rounds and penciling in 25 homers, 90 RBI and 10 steals. Not bad.
  • I'm still bullish on Gordon. Am I crazy?
