Please rank fantasy baseball position from deepest to shallowest?

Question

My draft is this saturday, woohoo! Thanks!

Answer 1

Man, don't be so hard on the guy. From deepest to shallowest:

1. Starting pitchers. There are tons of them out there, not to mention that you pretty much always get some guys that rise from the lower rounds or even free agency to become studs (like Liriano or Hamels from last year).

2. Outfield. Every team's got three, and often these represent the pure hitters on a team (defense being less important). Less deep than pitching because you get fewer surprises coming from nowhere, but they are still there.

3. 1B. Absolutely TONS of depth here. Pujols and Howard are great, but you can sit here and still get a Swisher later.

4. 3B. Again, tons of depth. And lots of up-and-comers. If you sit on this position, keep an eye on Teahen or Alex Gonzalez from KC.

5. SS. This used to be the most shallow position, but with the emergence of guys like Lugo, this has become a deceptively deep spot.

6. Relievers. There's a set number of closers out there, and people tend to scramble for them. The plus side is you get lots of turnover, so if you watch the waiver wires, you can benefit. My advice: grab one stud and then sit and grab leftovers, then play the waiver game to get your saves.

7. Catcher. There is a HUGE dropoff after the first 3 (Mauer, McCann, and V. Martinez). From there, it's a bunch of guys that aren't all that different, and not all that good either. If you don't get one of the big 3, I say wait around and grab a sleeper possibility like Chris Iannetta from Colorado.

8. 2B. The fantasy wasteland. There is Utley and then there is...nothing. Sure, Cano gets you average, there's some SB guys there, but after Utley, it's all a crapshoot. So Utley picks up some big points, but don't reach to get a 2B if you don't get Chase. The production difference is not that big for everyone else.

Answer 2

Not to be rude man, but please do some of your own research before asking questions like this. No one is going to sit around and rank every position when you can look it up yourself. I will however give you some links to use. Any good sports site will give you some information, and than use your own sports knowledge to make an opinion.
