SPORT FANATICS FANTASY BASEBALL TIER
RANKINGS - MIXED LEAGUES
(By Mike Inglett of Sport Fanatics - Developer of the
Sport Fanatics Projections)
The tier rankings are based on projected
statistics for the 2010 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. Players
designated with a (DH) beside their name are only DH eligible players, but I put
them at the position they would play of they did play a position.
