POS RANK TIER RANK PLAYER MLB LINK LG TEAM POS AGE FP 2010 BA 2010 R 2010 HR 2010 RBI 2010 SB COMMENTS
101 8 Nate Schierholtz MLB NL SF OF 26.1 46.69 .281 43 9 44 6 Battling Bowker for starting RF job.
102 8 Daniel Murphy MLB NL NYM 1B/OF 25.0 46.68 .274 45 11 50 4 Looks to be a three-headed competition at 1B in NY this year between Murphy, Tatis and Jacobs. We think Murphy will get majority of at bats once he is off of the DL. Expected to miss the first month of the season.
103 9 Jose Guillen MLB AL KC OF 33.8 45.76 .256 53 14 64 1 Missed about half of the 2009 season with knee and hamstring problems. Will be primary DH this season.
104 9 Tony Gwynn Jr. MLB NL SD OF 27.5 45.44 .253 61 3 27 18  
105 9 Jack Cust MLB AL OAK OF 31.2 42.80 .237 53 19 52 1 Was designated for assignment at the end of spring training and will probably be signed by another team.
106 9 Scott Hairston MLB NL SD OF 29.8 42.37 .249 46 15 48 5 Will rotate between different OF spots. Although he is not starting, will see plenty of AB 
107 9 Ben Francisco MLB NL PHI OF 28.5 42.24 .268 39 10 37 7  
108 9 Will Venable MLB NL SD OF 27.4 40.97 .245 50 12 47 8  
109 9 Jose Bautista MLB AL TOR 3B/OF 29.4 39.10 .243 52 14 47 4  
110 9 Gerardo Parra MLB NL ARI OF 22.9 39.06 .273 39 5 36 8  
111 9 Felix Pie MLB AL BAL OF 25.2 39.04 .266 41 8 35 7  
112 9 Eugenio Velez MLB NL SF 2B/OF 27.9 38.67 .267 32 4 26 14  
113 9 Jeremy Hermida MLB AL BOS OF 26.2 38.60 .270 39 10 39 4  
114 9 Willy Taveras MLB NL WAS OF 28.2 38.23 .257 39 1 14 20 With all of the roster shuffling in WAS, has moved into the 4th OF spot.
115 9 Ryan Church MLB NL PIT OF 31.4 37.78 .278 37 9 39 3 Looks to be the 4th OF in PIT this season.
116 9 Angel Pagan MLB NL NYM OF 28.8 36.25 .271 37 5 27 9 Will be primary starter until Beltran returns from injury.
117 9 Xavier Nady MLB NL CHC OF 31.3 35.43 .270 34 11 40 1 In July 2009, had Tommy John surgery and missed the rest of the 2009 season. The injury will cause him to miss the first few months of the 2010 season. 
118 9 John Bowker MLB NL SF OF 26.8 35.42 .267 35 10 38 3 Battling Schieroltz for starting RF job.
119 9 Matt Joyce MLB AL TB OF 25.7 35.32 .245 43 12 43 4 Expected to platoon with Kapler in RF. With S. Rodriguez great spring, his playing time will likely diminish by the all-star break, if not sooner as Zobrist could move from 2B to RF.
120 9 Tyler Colvin MLB NL CHC OF 24.6 35.18 .276 33 10 33 3 Has had an impressive Spring Training and is expected to play up to 2 times a week.

123 10 Jim Edmonds MLB NL MIL OF 39.8 30.89 .248 36 12 40 1 Has played well this spring and is in the MIL OF situation.
124 10 Jerry Hairston Jr. MLB NL SD SS/3B/OF 33.9 30.45 .246 42 5 30 8 Super-sub that can play a variety of positions and will see plenty of playing time.
125 10 Mark Kotsay MLB AL CHW 1B/OF 34.3 30.26 .264 35 5 41 3 Will be primary DH, but also see time at 1B and OF as needed.
126 10 Jake Fox MLB AL OAK 3B/OF 27.7 29.34 .250 29 11 38 2 Now that Cust will no longer be with OAK, Fox will see some time with Chavez at DH and get some playing time at 3B or in the OF.

POS RANK: Sport Fanatics rank for the position you are viewing.

LG RANK: The ranking given to a particular player for the entire group of players that have projected 2010 statistics (1150 players). Please note the overall rank is strictly based on projected fantasy points, it does not consider position scarcity like the ADP or our Tier Rankings do. This is why with catchers and relief pitchers in particular, the overall rank may look significantly different than the ADP or suggested Tier Rankings.

TIER RANK: 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 (Catchers, Closers), 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.

Tier 1 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in round 1.

Tier 2 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 2-3.

Tier 3 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 4-6.

Tier 4 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 7-10.

Tier 5 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 11-15.

Tier 6 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 16-20.

Tier 7 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 21-25.

Tier 8 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 25-30.

Tier 9 - Players that produce at and/or are typically drafted in rounds 30+.

Tier 10 - Players that produce at and/or are typically not drafted in any draft format.

MLB LINK: Is a hyperlink to the player's web page on MLB.com.

LG: AL=American League, NL=National League. "Z" means they are still an unsigned free agent.

POS: Lists positions that they are eligible to play at the start of the 2010 season. Either played in 20 games or more games at that position last season or if they played under 20 games at any one position the most frequently position played in the 2009 season was used.  

AGE: Is the age of the player as of April 1, 2010.

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.

COMMENTS: Available for top players at each position, injury comments and playing time comments.
