Free MLB Draft Kit 2013 – Top 100 fantasy baseball Outfielder rankings and projections FAQ
Who should be the first pick in fantasy baseball 2013?
This seems to be the first question on everyone’s lips this preseason. We have Mike Trout as the top overall fantasy scoring option this year, but there are so many good outfielders that will be picked in the first round that we have left Miguel Cabrera in the top spot, followed by Trout and Braun. We certainly won’t fault you for picking Trout or Braun #1 overall, but Miguel Cabrera is so much better than the next best 3B that he is a huge piece to any championship roster
Will these rankings be updated?
As we progress through the preseason, names will be added to the list, and the rankings will change considerably thanks to injuries, promotions, and other baseball related activities. Be sure to print out our most recent rankings the day of your draft, these numbers will be modified on a daily basis.
How are our projections calculated?
We use an algorithm that weights each category separately, giving each player a fantasy value score. We then rank the players based on their score, and the most balanced hitters that provide fantasy scoring across the board offensively (R, HR, RBI, SB, BA..) will have the highest score, so while a player that hits 40 HR with 0 SB might be considered a 2nd round pick by many fantasy “experts” more often than not our rankings will favor the more balanced attack with players who can hit 28 HR’s with 35 SB’s, which ultimately will help our readers build a well balanced team.
How do we determine a player’s position eligibility?
Our position eligibility is based on 10 games played the previous season. If you play in a format that requires a different number of games played the previous year (i.e. 15 or 20), you can click on the player’s name, we have their games played by position listed on the player page.

I am in a keeper league. it’s CBS Sportsline… pretty much standard scoring except stolen bases are 3 points.
We have 25 rounds, our positions included CI, MI, 5OFs, U, 5SP, 2RP.
I am thinking about keeping M Cabrera (1st Round), F Hernandez (5th Round), Goldschmidt (24th Round) and McCutcheon (25th Round).
I get to keep 5 keepers. There are three guys I am debating at the final keeper:
Aoki (23rd Round) … projected 453 pts… 15th for OF
Aaron Hill (13th Round)… projected 411 pts… 8th for 2B
Altuve (20th Round)… projected 443 pts… 5th for 2B
Of course, ‘expert’ rankings have these a bit differently so considering the round I get the keeper, the projection, and the strength of each position, who would you recommend keeping? Also, if you think one of my top 4 should not be a keeper I’d be interested to hear the logic to that as well.
THANK YOU!

Altuve.
He should steal 30+ SB’s easily this season, and those 3 points per are a big deal, plus you only have to give up a 20th round pick leaving you the 13th round pick. Aoki was 2nd in my book, as he also possesses top notch speed, but you can find that in abundance in the OF.
I think you have all your keepers right this season, good luck
