The tier rankings are based on projected
statistics for the 2008 season. The tier rankings were determined for a typical
12 team, 5 X 5 rotisserie league by using batting average, runs, runs batted in,
home runs and stolen bases for hitters and by using wins, saves, ERA, WHIP and
strikeouts for pitchers. Note that these rankings may not coincide with our
positional player rankings as position scarcity (C), category
specialties (SB & Saves) and multiple position eligibility (players who have
played in more than 20 games at more than one position last season) may have
players in tiers higher then their actual fantasy points generated rankings.
