Fantasy Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Players to Look Out For

Baseball season is close and I’m sure everyone wants to read about the fantasy rankings of these baseball players. Reading up on fantasy rankings is an important aspect of playing fantasy baseball. Because when you know the fantasy rankings, you know which players to get. If you know which players to get, you can form a good team or have a good fantasy draft. Having a winning fantasy draft can be an exciting thing for players, and it can make you win in your fantasy baseball league.

Now, let us review the fantasy ranking of the following players.

First, let us take a look at Alex Rios (CHW RF). Alex Rios showed solid performance in the first year that he played for the Chicago baseball team. His number of hits reached .284 - 334 - 457. Alex Rios also has a 20-home run and a 30-SB season. Now, the big question that is running through everyone’s head is, can Alex Rios be able to replicate the outstanding performance he has shown us in 2011? Our take is it is possible to do so. The only caveat is he has to remain healthy and injury free. Rios is the man who can hit a solid line up. Get him in your draft.

The second player in focus is a TEX RF named Nelson Cruz. We are thinking, how many home runs Nelson Cruz can possible make if he remains injury-free and healthy for 600 at bats? The numbers that Cruz has been crunching are a hit of .318 - .374 - .576 with 22 home runs, 78 RBI and 17 saved bases. And that is just as low as 400 bats for last year. What we like about Cruz is he is able to hit a lot of flyballs and he gets a 45 percent FB number. The thing is, we mentioned that Nelson Cruz can perform well if he remains healthy. The problem is he already has an injury risk. To all fantasy sports people out there, you know you really have to read up on those injury lists.

Another player to look at is Chris Young (AR CF). Mr. Young has .257 - .341 - .452 with 27 HRs. Chris Young also has 27 HR, 91 RBI, 94 runs and 28 SB in 2010. So, what will his future be in 2011? Well, Young is actually 27, and he is in the peak of his career in 2011. He also has a newly hired manager in the person of Kirk Gibson and he is telling everyone that Young will become more aggressive on the base paths this year.
