Every Tuesday during the season, we are releasing a list of the best batters in fantasy baseball that's designed to be similar to Nick's list of Top 100 Starting Pitchers that comes out each Monday. Our objective is to give you the most current rankings of who we see as being the top 150 hitters league-wide for the rest of the season. They take into account expectations going into the season and production to this point, as well as recurring trends and streaks, as a way of analytically extrapolating who will bring you the most fantasy dividends throughout the year. Use these rankings to help understand what to expect from batters for all of 2017 and as a tool to gauge trade value in your fantasy leagues.
Note: These rankings have been made with H2H 5×5 12-teamers in mind.
I don’t understand how Rizzo is only one spot ahead of Freeman with Freeman’s injury. Rizzo should have at least double the counting stats ROS right?
Lol yeah this makes no sense
You’re still picking up a 1B to replace Freeman. Whatever production you get out of that has to be added to Freeman’s ROS counting stats to compare to Rizzo.
I want to make sure I understand this properly. Are you actually saying you think Brad Miller and Hernan Perez have more ROS value than Cubs leadoff hitter Ben Zobrist?
Not to speak for Andrew, but Zobrist is 36, has only started 33 of 44 games (including tonight), and has just a 108 OPS+. Borderline start-worthy in a 12-teamer thus far. (Full disclosure: I have Schwarber, and Zobrist makes a lot more sense in the leadoff spot.)
piscotty or joe ross in a dynasty?
I’m interested in
why Josh Bell isn’t higher on this list?
Surely a young guy hitting in the 2/4 hole for a rebuilding team with 22/9/20/.255 is worth more than Mitch Moreland?
