Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit

Fantasy Focus Baseball

Matthew Berry talks to Stephania Bell about which injured players you should be the most concerned about. Plus, is it time to give up on Alfonso Soriano or Julio Borbon?

POSITIONAL PREVIEWS

  • Joe Mauer

    Catchers
    If you're unable to draft Joe Mauer early, you might as well wait until the end of the draft to fill the position.

  • Albert Pujols

    First Basemen
    Once again, Albert Pujols leads the way at a very deep position that features plenty of top-notch talent.

  • Chase Utley

    Second Basemen
    Chase Utley is still the top dog here, but there are many near-elite options lurking in the next tier.

  • Alex Rodriguez

    Third Basemen
    Power is at a premium at the hot corner, which is why you need to get guys like Alex Rodriguez early on.

  • Hanley Ramirez

    Shortstops
    After Hanley Ramirez and four other elite options, the pickings at this position get very slim in a hurry.

  • Ryan Braun

    Outfielders
    There are plenty of solid options to fill the outfield spots this year, starting with Ryan Braun.

  • Tim Lincecum

    Starting Pitchers
    Tim Lincecum may be our top starter, but strategy goes a long way in building the rest of your staff.

  • Jonathan Broxton

    Relief Pitchers
    Jonathan Broxton is our best bet at a position with few sure things and lots of volatility and uncertainty.
