Jon Anderson's Outfield Tiered Rankings and Projections, Part 2

I'm back to finish out my outfield ranks and tiers, which will be the final post in this series. You can read part one here.

We only have three tiers left to cover, but there are 34 names in these tiers. Plenty of different profiles, upsides, and downsides to deal with.

Let's finish this baby out.

Tier 7

I am certain that there will be a few guys in this tier that really smash their value this year and take their fantasy team a long way towards success. Some of my favorites:

• Myles Straw: there is a real 80 run, 50 steal upside here with a decent batting average - that's pretty huge, but the downside is enormous.
• Michael Conforto: If he's healthy, he'll absolutely destroy this draft cost, he's still quite a good hitter.
• Andrew Vaughn: Showed a lot of good signs last year but also struggled at times, but still has huge power and batting average upside with his raw ability.
• Alex Kirilloff: Hit the ball very hard early on last year, the raw power is huge.

I would be perfectly happy starting many of these guys on a fantasy team, it's a really strong tier late in the draft.

Tier 8

There's a pretty big step down in terms of upside here. The upside names would be Ozuna, Adell, Sanchez, and Rojas. You could really end up with a bunch of steals in the case of Rojas, and Adell posted one of the highest sprint speeds in the league last year despite not stealing many bases.

The "safe" names would be Yastrzemski and Hernandez, as they should be locked into playing time and have shown pretty solid consistency over the last few years.

Tier 9

To finish it out, we have some guys with questionable abilities and playing time as well. It feels weird to put Brantley this far down here, but he just gives you so little in homers and steals that it's tough to draft him even with the good batting average. Maybe Bader should be higher up with his steals ability, but I just don't get excited about him and think he'll spend most of the year in the eight spot in the batting order.

Canha and Nimmo would definitely leap up a tier or two if we knew they'd play every day, but at this point, we don't know that, so we have to tread carefully.

And there you have it, my top-74 outfielders! Hope you enjoyed this, happy drafting RotoBallers!
