Hamilton and CarGo are 1 and 2 outfielders.

Wright and A-Rod were ahead of Youkilis, overall, in your last rankings. Now the order has shifted completely with Youkilis being 1st, Wright now 3rd and A-Rod moving ahead of him. Why?

Swisher didn't play enough at 1st base to be eligible.

Huff is getting too much credit. He'll be serviceable but played over his head last season.

Back up Abreu and Young and move Choo and Cruz to 9 and 10. Maybe more with their ability to steal some bags.

Holliday is ranked WAAAAY too high.

Catchers?

Individual Pitchers?

You forgot Ian Kinsler, Brian Roberts and Gordon Beckham at 2nd base.

You forgot Elvis Andrus, Stephen Drew, Alexei Ramirez and Rafael Furcal at shortstop.

To add to your OF list...Grady Sizemore, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jason Bay, Ichiro, Nick Markakis and Andre Ethier.

Based off last season...Ethier should be ahead of Kemp with ease.

And Longoria was your 3rd OVERALL raited player in your initial rankings...now he's SIXTH in your 3RD BASE CATEGORY?

Thank You for the response Spark

Background on me:

Watched 2008 rays playoffs WS

Watched Every Rays Game until mid June 2009

Watched Every Rays Game until All-Star Break 2010

I'm New to Baseball


Wright and A-Rod were ahead of Youkilis, overall, in your last rankings. Now the order has shifted completely with Youkilis being 1st, Wright now 3rd and A-Rod moving ahead of him. Why?


The list is not defenitive - its subject change, and probably will many times. 
 
After looking again at career stats, Wright looked like he had a serious off year 2009.
While A-Rodiguez issue was At-Bats and I was looking at all those 50 HR seasons. Youk was on fire last year until the finger issue.

Catchers? I care less who I get - pick them last, its a wash at 10 fantasy points per week

As for Longo, I put him there strictly as a Rays fan. But RBI's or Runs or both could be affected by Crawford not being there.

quick look, huff is way overrated and wont be on one of my teams, good value again with votto who carried me to one of my championships with a deep 1b field.  Not a big fan of Hamilton just because of his injury history, if you guaranteed me 150 games, i am all in.

werth i will stray from without the protection and lofty expectations off the contract.  he is a weird dude to begin with.  cargo also carried all of my teams and is deserving of top 5 OF, easily.  guys like bautista and guerrero wont sniff my team.  i buy low and sell high in baseball drafts, no two seasons are much alike unless your a mega star like utley, pujols, etc.  draft bautista over longoria and you are asking for trouble.

A.Dunn is not the #3 overall Outfielder... He strikes out way to much and his Avg is to low plus he doesnt steal bags..  he's a 2 trick pony (hr/rbi's)   

Matt Holliday ranked to high, Cargo ranked to low
