2019 Third Base Rankings
by Paul Sporer
February 28, 2019
Third base is in a very healthy state checking in as the second deepest position on the diamond heading into the season (or at least the infield… judging IF v. OF is difficult given the need to roster 3-5 OF depending on league type). There’s even upside for many. Is Rafael Devers ready for a breakout season? Can Jake Lamb’s shoulder stay together and push him back to the 30 HR level? Will Maikel Franco have another Spring Training HR explosion and trick me into drafting him again? Will Kyle Seager rebound? Is Ian Happ capable of trimming his K% to foster a breakout?
- What’s your strategy at 3B in shallower mixed leagues (10-12 teams)?
- What about 15-team NFBC-type leagues?
- Who’s your favorite gamble outside of my top 20?

Great work on these lists so far Paul. Outside the top 20, Seager and Sano are guys that were high picks in the past that looked real bad last year. I will def be checking in to see if they can be rosterable again. Candelario and Dozier are both younger and should get plenty of ABs, it’ll be interesting to see how they progress.
