As we’ve suggested before, you should look at multiple sets of rankings before settling on your draft strategy, and of course we feel our rankings should be part of the mix. With that in mind, we present the top of our rankings for every position (i.e. who we think should be “starting” in 12-team leagues), with links to the rest of each position if you’re looking for some sleepers.
A few things to keep in mind as you scan these lists: Position eligibility is based on Yahoo’s default settings, and each position is ranked as if a player is only eligible at that position. So, someone like Trea Turner will be drafted above Ryan Braun because of his 2B and (eventually) SS eligibility, but we’d like Braun ahead of him if both were only OF-eligible.
