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

Andrew Vaughn - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

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.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball draft tools and resources:

 

Tier 7

Player Current Projections
Name Rank ADP PA R HR RBI SB AVG
Dylan Carlson 41 167 625 79 20 72 5 .256
Jorge Soler 42 189 565 75 30 80 1 .240
Myles Straw 43 135 567 74 4 43 30 .262
Michael Conforto 44 186 580 76 24 76 3 .256
Adolis Garcia 45 159 578 72 26 78 13 .230
Avisail Garcia 46 173 562 70 23 78 8 .265
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. 47 140 544 67 23 76 3 .269
Austin Hays 48 222 558 75 23 70 6 .257
Andrew Vaughn 49 220 533 63 21 65 2 .252
Max Kepler 50 281 555 78 25 68 8 .233
Chris Taylor 51 133 552 77 19 69 10 .254
Alex Kirilloff 52 171 495 59 19 66 4 .271
AJ Pollock 53 227 453 62 22 69 8 .270
Adam Duvall 54 219 520 68 33 83 3 .231
Eddie Rosario 55 158 494 61 22 72 9 .262
Ramon Laureano 56 225 501 68 20 60 13 .253

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

Player Current Projections
Name Rank ADP PA R HR RBI SB AVG
Marcell Ozuna 57 201 495 66 25 74 1 .264
Mike Yastrzemski 58 271 535 76 23 68 4 .243
Robbie Grossman 59 185 574 75 16 58 16 .241
Jo Adell 60 238 513 62 20 67 8 .242
Kyle Lewis 61 306 529 62 21 62 6 .244
Charlie Blackmon 62 236 548 72 16 71 3 .278
Anthony Santander 63 251 548 69 27 75 2 .251
Ian Happ 64 190 546 68 25 70 8 .241
Jesus Sanchez 65 234 486 57 20 66 3 .256
Tommy Pham 66 268 520 70 16 56 14 .255
Enrique Hernandez 67 208 577 77 22 68 2 .248
Josh Rojas 68 225 522 64 10 49 10 .248

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

Player Current Projections
Name Rank ADP PA R HR RBI SB AVG
Raimel Tapia 69 273 495 65 6 44 17 .280
Michael Brantley 70 242 499 65 11 55 2 .291
Harrison Bader 71 229 5414 65 18 59 12 .245
Mark Canha 72 261 560 75 17 62 9 .238
Wil Myers 73 284 526 64 20 66 8 .243
Brandon Nimmo 74 291 526 73 14 50 7 .263

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!
