2008 Cheat Sheet and Player Rankings American League

The rankings are based on projected statistics for the 2008 season. The player rankings were determined for a typical 5 X 5 rotisserie league by using batting average, runs, runs batted in, home runs and stolen bases for hitters and wins, saves, ERA, WHIP and strikeouts for pitchers. Please note the overall rankings are based on projected fantasy points, which is a guide for how well a player is projected to produce in typical 5X5 rotisserie leagues. This is only a guide as you should also consider position scarcity, your league position requirements and your league rules when drafting players for your team.

POS - Position(s) players are eligible for if they played in 20 or more games at the position in 2007. If a player played in less than 20 games at a position, than the most frequent position played was used to determine position eligibility. For pitchers either starting pitcher (SP) or relief pitcher (RP).

(FP) Fantasy Points - Formula derived by Sport Fanatics using the 5 scoring categories to determine player rankings. Also a good tool to use to compare value to other positions and determine tiers when there is a drop off in fantasy production for each position.
