Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet and Player Rankings

by Jan Levine

The following cheat sheet is a general fantasy baseball ranking of players by position. It leans more towards 5x5 leagues. Players are listed at positions where they played 20+ games last year. These cheat sheets and rankings are updated each week during the regular season. Injured players who are scheduled to miss four weeks or more have been moved to the bottom of the sheets. Team owners in keeper leagues should evaluate these players differently compared to those teams in non-keeper leagues.

For feedback, e-mail Jan Levine.

Please Note: The cheat sheets are currently in the process of being completely updated for the 2010 season. If you have any roster-related questions (trade ideas, keeper-related issues, etc.), please submit them to our baseball editors through the Ask an Expert area.
