2. Grady Sizemore

 

[shadyridr]

I honestly dont understand why people are so low on Vlad this year I still have him ranked 2nd

 

[Eephus]

Not a great era for OF

 

[shadyridr]

Just a gut feeling but IMO Swisher is WAY too low

 

[shadyridr]

Cuddyer too low as well. Hes a solid 20HR, 90-100RBI guy

I'm OK with Grady at #2, he is a 5 tool guy on a great O. I'm a little higher on Markakis another 5 tool guy and not quite as high on Upton though his position eligibility is a major plus. After the top dozen or so, you almost feel like your splitting hairs.

2. Grady Sizemore

i buy sizemore as the #2 guy.i have him ranked slightly ahead of soriano, too.the guy will go 30-30, make a push for .300 and could lead the league in runs.depending on how you value SB's, i could see crawford at #2.

I don't think Sizemore will ever be a .300 hitter. Not with his K rate. I do like that he's running more and will likely hit 20-something homers, but I'd take Crawford, Soriano and Guerrero before him.

 

[Cool in the pocket]

Just a gut feeling but IMO Swisher is WAY too low

Agreed on low, "way" is up for debate, but now that he is out of a crappy hitter's park and into a decent one with a decent lineup...

 

[Sammy3469]

Granderson's too high too..he's a nice player, but he was also fairly lucky last year.

Too low in an OBP league for sure but he'll probably be a negative AVG factor in a traditional 5x5

I have Pence, Hart, Kemp, Hamilton, and Tavares much higher. Guys I have in my top 40 not in your top 50: Jay Bruce, Jose Guillen.

I have Pence, Hart, Kemp, Hamilton, and Tavares much higher. Guys I have in my top 40 not in your top 50: Jay Bruce, Jose Guillen.

Dusty is making every indication that he won't be starting the year in Cincy. I'd be leery of taking him in redrafts this year.

 

[Greco]

Some one explain to me why Magglio is not a top 10 OF at a minimum. Talk slow, I am not very quick on the uptake.

I'd still rather take him as my OF4 hoping for a May call-up and take a Jose Guillen/Rick Ankiel/Luke Scott type that will produce similar numbers as the Aaron Rowand's, Pat Burrell's, and Josh Willingham's taken as other teams' OF4's. Guillen/Ankiel/Scott for 6 weeks + Bruce for the rest > Rowand/Burrell/Willingham. If Bruce gets 500 ABs I could see him tallying up something close to 275/72/25/78/12.

He had a career year last year especially in the BA dept. EVERYBODY is expecting a return to normalcy for him.

His CAREER 162 game averages : .312 BA, 29 HR, 115 RBI .370 OBP, and .522 SLG. This "return to normalcy" is not top 10 OF worthy? I'll hang up and listen. TIA.
