Fantasy Baseball: 2010 Top 25 Outfielder Rankings
Here’s an early look at Outfielder Rankings.
1. Ryan Braun – Power, Average, Speed. He’s got it all.
2. Matt Holliday – I love that he re-signed with St. Louis where he hit .353 with 42 runs, 13 HRs, and 55 RBIs in 63 games.
3. Matt Kemp – Has a legitimate chance at a 30-30 season.
4. Grady Sizemore – Now that he’s healthy, Sizemore should be one of the best dual threats again. Another 30-30 candidate.
5. Justin Upton – Really blossomed last year. He should continue to grow into an elite outfielder.
6. Jacoby Ellsbury – His SBs put you in the driver seat of the SB category.
7. Andre Ethier – He’s been raking for a year and a half. At 28 he should be just getting started.
8. Carl Crawford – Another guy who can give you a leg up in the SB category.
12. Curtis Granderson – Playing in Yankee Stadium a 30-30 season should be within reach.
16. Bobby Abreu – He’s easy to overlook, but he’s virtually a lock for a .290, 100 Run, 15 HR, 100 RBI, 20 SB season.
17. Carlos Lee – Another .300, 25 HR, 100 RBI season is very likely.
19. Nelson Cruz – Displayed both power and speed. Needs to get his average up.
20. Josh Hamilton – He has a lot of question marks, but if he can rebound to anywhere near his 2008 form, he’ll be a steal.
21. Carlos Quentin – Ditto.
22. Shane Victorino – He should score a bunch of runs and steal a bunch of bases.
23. B.J. Upton – One of the most disappointing players last year, but still managed to swipe 42 bags. Has the talent to climb into the top 10 or 15.
24. Raul Ibanez – Injuries caught up with him, but he was playing at an MVP level for the bulk of the first half.
25. Adam Jones – Injuries caught up with Jones as well. Has the potential to blow up in 2010.

Where is Vernon Wells on this list?
He is probably going to be near the top in HR, RBI

He’s not. I didn’t expect him to get off to such a fine start. I still don’t think he’ll finish as a top 25 OF come season end.
