LG RANK TIER RANK PLAYER MLB LINK TEAM POS AGE FP 2010 BA 2010 R 2010 HR 2010 RBI 2010 SB 2010 W 2010 S 2010 K 2010 ERA 2010 WHIP COMMENTS
151 5 Delmon Young MLB MIN OF 24.6 77.94 .291 65 14 72 10           Came into Spring Training 25 pounds lighter. But, with signing of Thome, Kubel may play some OF and take away AB.
152 5 A.J. Burnett MLB NYY SP 33.3 77.85           14 0 183 4.20 1.35  
153 5 Rickie Weeks MLB MIL 2B 27.6 77.49 .256 93 16 53 18           Was off to a very good start to the 2009 season but he tore a tendon in his wrist and missed the final 4 1/2 months of the season.
154 5 Rafael Furcal MLB LAD SS 31.6 77.10 .280 89 9 49 16            
155 5 David Ortiz MLB BOS DH 34.3 77.09 .257 83 28 94 1           Primary DH for BOS, another once feared DH that has seen his best years him by. Draft based on his current value, not past reputation.
156 5 Ryan Dempster MLB CHC SP 32.9 77.07           12 0 156 3.78 1.31  
157 4 Carlos Marmol MLB CHC RP 27.5 77.04           3 34 81 3.42 1.31 Has electric stuff, but must battle control problems to be a top 12 fantasy closer. 
158 5 Hideki Matsui MLB ANA DH 35.8 76.91 .285 71 21 85 1           Now with Vlad in TEX, will be the primary DH for ANA. World Series proved he still has it, but he is an injury risk.
159 5 Cody Ross MLB FLA OF 29.3 76.47 .267 72 24 85 5            
160 5 Brad Hawpe MLB COL OF 30.8 76.26 .278 73 22 85 1            
161 5 Martin Prado MLB ATL 1B/2B/3B 26.4 75.95 .300 80 12 62 4           Can play all over the field, but will start at 2B this season in ATL.
162 5 Corey Hart MLB MIL OF 28.0 75.91 .263 68 16 68 18           Has had an awful spring. May start the season sharing time with J.Edmunds in the OF.
163 4 Billy Wagner MLB ATL RP 38.7 75.62           3 30 75 3.02 1.08 Back to being a closer, after a few years away from that role. He was very good prior to injuries and now seems healthy again and is thus deserving of a top 12 closer ranking.
164 5 Nolan Reimold MLB BAL OF 26.5 75.49 .269 68 22 68 9           Had achilles problem most of the year, in September '09 had surgery. Is still having achilles issues during spring training, thus we have tempered our projections.
165 4 Rafael Soriano MLB TB RP 30.3 75.48           4 33 61 3.44 1.13 Appears willing and able to take over the TB closer job. Will have plenty of bullpen help to be successful, the problem is if he falters, the TB is deep and talented.
166 5 Chipper Jones MLB ATL 3B 37.9 75.31 .289 75 18 70 3            
167 5 Lastings Milledge MLB PIT OF 25.0 75.23 .274 63 12 57 20            
168 4 Chad Qualls MLB ARI RP 31.6 75.18           3 35 55 3.51 1.20 Suffered a dislocated kneecap and torn ligament in August 2009. Looks to be ready for the start of season.
169 5 Gavin Floyd MLB CHW SP 27.2 75.05           12 0 152 4.12 1.31  
170 5 Phil Hughes MLB NYY SP 23.8 74.70           10 0 145 3.51 1.20 Was disappointing as a starter, but emerged as a quality setup man in 2009. Beat out Chamberlain for the 5th starter position in 2010.
171 5 Kevin Slowey MLB MIN SP 25.9 74.70           12 0 121 3.83 1.21 Had wrist surgery in August 2009, which ended his season early. Expected to be fully recovered for the 2010 season.
172 5 Marlon Byrd MLB CHC OF 32.6 74.58 .281 71 14 77 8            
173 5 Conor Jackson MLB ARI OF 27.9 74.34 .287 67 14 69 9           Missed much of 2009 season with Valley Fever. Has had a good spring and is looking like the player of past years.
174 5 David DeJesus MLB KC OF 30.3 74.12 .284 81 11 69 7            
175 5 Kelly Johnson MLB ARI 2B 28.1 73.97 .279 81 14 65 9            
176 4 Brian Wilson MLB SF RP 28.1 73.92           3 36 63 3.52 1.29  
177 4 Francisco Cordero MLB CIN RP 34.9 73.87           3 35 65 3.46 1.31  
178 5 Placido Polanco MLB PHI 2B 34.4 73.79 .294 86 8 60 6           Will start at 3B and gain 3B eligibility early into the season.
179 5 Marco Scutaro MLB BOS SS 34.4 73.69 .285 85 9 63 9            
180 5 Rich Harden MLB TEX SP 28.4 73.56           10 0 160 3.74 1.27  
181 6 Magglio Ordonez MLB DET OF 36.2 73.55 .300 64 16 74 1            
182 4 Matt Wieters MLB BAL C 23.9 73.43 .285 67 20 80 1           One of the best young catchers in the game, watch him continue his maturity into a special hitter.
183 6 Kevin Kouzmanoff MLB OAK 3B 28.7 73.20 .273 68 21 91 1           Projected to bat cleanup in OAK lineup.
184 6 J.J. Hardy MLB MIN SS 27.6 72.77 .270 79 23 78 1            
185 6 Mike Cameron MLB BOS OF 37.2 72.39 .253 77 22 75 10            
186 6 Todd Helton MLB COL 1B 36.6 72.34 .299 72 13 72 0            
187 6 John Danks MLB CHW SP 25.0 72.30           12 0 150 4.10 1.33  
188 6 Johnny Cueto MLB CIN SP 24.1 72.29           12 0 156 4.18 1.31  
189 6 Coco Crisp MLB OAK OF 30.4 72.14 .263 71 9 48 24           Had surgery on both shoulders, missed over 100 games in 2009. Broke his pinkie at the end of Spring Training, will begin the season on the DL.
190 5 Bobby Jenks MLB CHW RP 29.1 71.95           4 33 50 3.42 1.21 Had a calf injury towards the end of the year, which opened the door for Thornton. Is the opening day closer, but he won't have much room for error. 
191 6 Ian Stewart MLB COL 2B/3B 25.0 71.89 .247 77 25 83 7           Primary 3B this season in COL.
192 6 Jeff Francoeur MLB NYM OF 26.2 71.80 .277 71 16 81 4           Had surgery for torn thumb ligament in November 2009. He is expected to be ready by Opening Day.
193 6 Clay Buchholz MLB BOS SP 25.6 71.51           12 0 145 3.87 1.32  
194 6 Ted Lilly MLB CHC SP 34.3 71.49           11 0 129 3.84 1.23 Had a very good 2009 season, had shoulder surgery in November 2009. Because of surgery will likely miss the first month of the season.
195 5 David Aardsma MLB SEA RP 28.3 71.37           4 35 67 3.96 1.36  
196 6 Chris B. Young MLB ARI OF 26.6 71.00 .243 77 22 67 15            
197 6 Chris Davis MLB TEX 1B 24.1 70.90 .264 67 26 78 2           Puts up very good power numbers when he gets his AB. Problem is he does not put the ball in play enough. If he hits .260 or more you will get a bargain, we are skeptical.
198 6 Paul Konerko MLB CHW 1B 34.0 70.86 .262 71 26 83 1            
199 6 J.D. Drew MLB BOS OF 34.4 70.41 .270 83 20 70 3            
200 6 Brett Gardner MLB NYY OF 26.6 70.11 .264 65 4 35 38           Won job as everyday LF. Will still give up some AB to Winn and Thames, but should see majority of playing time and rack up 35+ SB's.
201 5 Trevor Hoffman MLB MIL RP 42.5 69.82           3 35 41 3.53 1.16 Back for another year as the MIL closer.
202 6 Aaron Harang MLB CIN SP 31.9 69.66           10 0 154 4.23 1.30  
203 6 Jhonny Peralta MLB CLE SS/3B 27.9 69.63 .267 81 18 84 2           Primary 3B this season in CLE.
204 6 Austin Jackson MLB DET OF 23.2 69.57 .277 61 5 56 20           Good prospect that will start in the DET OF.
205 6 Dexter Fowler MLB COL OF 24.0 69.50 .273 67 6 40 24           Would rank higher if we didn't think S.Smith will take away a lot of AB from him.
206 6 Colby Rasmus MLB STL OF 23.7 69.45 .255 81 19 62 12            
207 6 Cameron Maybin MLB FLA OF 23.0 69.30 .266 76 11 50 17            
208 6 Scott Podsednik MLB KC OF 34.0 69.26 .276 64 4 40 24            
209 6 Nick Swisher MLB NYY 1B/OF 29.3 68.92 .249 84 27 79 1            
210 6 Mark Buehrle MLB CHW SP 31.0 68.86           13 0 110 4.10 1.31  
211 6 Mark DeRosa MLB SF 3B/OF 35.1 68.49 .269 77 18 76 3           Can play a variety of positions, but will primarily be used as a starting OF in SF.
