2015 End of Season Fantasy Rankings: Outfielders
The 2015 fantasy baseball season has come to a close, so it is time to look back at the season past and determine which players were the most valuable at each position. After moving our way through the infield, we roll around in the green grass of the outfield.
The players were ranked based on their 2015 production, using the evaluation system explained and updated on this site some time ago. The valuations are built for $260 budgets and standard 5×5 roto fantasy leagues, where only one catcher is started. Players are listed only at their primary positions from 2015.
One important thing to note is the premium (or lack thereof) placed on the position a player occupies in your lineup. For example, while a first baseman may be able to accumulate superior overall numbers, the availability of such production lower in the rankings severely dampers the amount the player was worth. These rankings are meant to reflect a player’s value should he have occupied this spot in your lineup for the entire year. A player who missed time due to injury but put up great numbers during his time on the field would be worth less.
With all that in mind, here are your rankings:

On average,sans injuries, how should these rankings be used for preparation for 2016?
This system leads to Stanton being ranked in the 40’s, so I would say that it’s very important to ignore this rankings system completely if you’re making a decision for next year.
Even with the missed time due to injury, Stanton still outproduced a lot of the guys ahead of him… what a strange list. I mean, Ben Revere is ranked 21 spots ahead of Stanton. I’m not sure how this is supposed to be useful or relevant. Stanton provided waaaay more value to my team than Revere could have… and justifying it by saying these guys were valued on the assumption that you’d leave an injured player on your roster all season regardless of whether or not he’s hurt makes zero sense because no one would do that.
I think you’re confused on how rankings work? It’s not an opinion. This is the value that each player delivered to your team. Stanton was the 43rd OF. If you owned Ben Rever and Giancarlo Stanton in 2015, then Ben Revere was your better player. It’s not a hard concept.
As far as the future is concerned, you shouldn’t really care about last season’s end rankings unless you’re using it as a way to compare the accuracy of projection models or something.
Lol. You do not even know the categories for my league. Way to jump to massive conclusions.
Anyways, the guy was specifically asking about using these rankings for next season, so I think you’re the one who is very confused.
Where did I talk about anything to do with your league? I was discussing the rankings literally printed on this page.
Also, I’m not confused. I was answering his question: You don’t.
What you said:
“This is the value that each player delivered to your team… If you owned Ben Rever and Giancarlo Stanton in 2015, then Ben Revere was your better player.”
You very specifically cited players and compared their value in the context of my team.
The question asked:
“how should these rankings be used for preparation for 2016?”
I’m not sure what question you read, but this one was pretty clearly about about using the rankings in order to look ahead and prepare for the 2016 season… meaning it was in reference to projecting what these players are going to do in the future. It was very simple and very straightforward. Despite your confusion, it seems you still agree with me that using the rankings in that way is a bad idea.
