The Best Baseball Players By Position
by Darren Bell

As the 2013 season in your fantasy baseball league prepares to get underway shortly, it’s important to not only figure out who the very best players are at every position, but also the players who are a couple rows back in the discussion. Not mediocre players in a fantasy baseball leagues, great players, just not ones who are at the very top of the list.

For example, there are three pitchers who are all vying to be the first one taken in you fantasy baseball league draft in a month or so. The top three legitimate potential number one pitchers are Detroit’s Justin Verlander, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez (who just received the most expensive deal ever given to a pitcher at seven years and $175 million by the Mariners) and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw. There can be a decent case made for any of those three to be the first pitcher taken. But there will come a point when all of them are gone. If you need a pitcher in you fantasy baseball league draft and when the time comes, the choice is between Philadelphia’s Cliff Lee and Washington’s Stephen Strasburg, who is the wiser selection?

Lee has shown some signs of age, but it still stands to reason that he is one of the elite pitchers in the game. Moreover, Lee is known as a streaky kind of pitcher. When Lee is on top of his game and he hits his stride, he can easily rival Verlander, Hernandez or Kershaw in terms of production, but as was the case last season, it took him a while to hit that stride and he didn’t even get his first win of the season until the 4th of July. Still, a risk on Lee is one that could pay huge dividends if he rebounds strong in 2013.



Drafting, especially when it comes to pitchers, can be extremely difficult to pull off for the most part. People are not always sure which player should be taken at what pick. When it is all said and done, people for the most part just want to make sure that they get the right type of talent on their team to make a run. The important thing to remember is to not simply swing and miss on that first pitcher. It always pays to take a player with a track record who can provide a lot of value for a long time.
