Best Top 300 List - Similar to FBG? (1 Viewer)

[paulpogo]

Hi all-

Relative fantasy baseball novice here as compared to baseball. Are there any similar sites to FBG for baseball around? I did a search on the forum with not much luck, and the google results seem to lack quality or timliness.

What's a good free site with a current Top 300 list to start with?

Thanks in advance.

Really depends on your league's scoring format. Roto? Points?

ESPN and Yahoo have top 300 rankings, but they are pretty vanilla.

Use the app linked in my signature. Feed in your league's settings and WA-LA.

Thanks much. Can't get to the app here at work, but I'll give it a spin at home. I assume the rankings are fairly current? That's my biggest issue with ESPN/Yahoo, they seem a bit dated.

We're a fairly standard head to head 6X5 league. We add OPS to the normal 5X5 categories.

With the app you can select a 6x5 without much trouble.It uses relatively recent projections, but if something changes, you can access the spreadsheet and tweak it. I've already adjusted for Wainwright's TJ surgery.

[Mr. Pickles]

The spreadsheet will also give you a top 200 list, but I don't really pay much attention to that. I think it's better to consider players by position and make adjustments on the fly with respect to position. Your needs will dictate how the are ranked relative to one another by position.

Shadler's opinion, not mine. SS is pretty weak.
