Outfielder Rankings: RotoGraphs Consensus Ranks
Consensus Ranks: OF, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and RP and SP.
Tiered Ranks: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, NL OF, AL SP, NL SP, Holds.
Introducing our revamped ranking process! In the interest of getting our rankings to you, our beloved readers, we will be pumping out the main consensus rankings as close to daily as possible for the next week and a half.
First up are the outfielders. Of particular note might be the rankings of Jason Heyward, Giancarlo Cruz Mike Stanton (and Jay Bruce!), Alex Gordon, Kendrys Morales and Marlon Byrd — for the divergence in our appraisals — as well as the rankings of Brennan Boesch, Logan Morrison, and Carl Crawford — for the convergence in our thinking.
Expect our positional correspondents to highlight players with unique ranks over the coming week. And then each of those positional experts will also be included in the next generation of our rankings. We’ll continue to update these rankings over the course of the season, as we always have.
Thanks to FantasyPros, you will be able to see our individual ranks as well as our consensus. Good luck this season.
This year, we’ll combine outfielders and pitchers — but our commentary will remain split between leagues. So these are our combined outfielder rankings for the 2012 fantasy baseball season. These are for 5×5 roto, but our correspondents will point out values in other systems, as well as push the player pool deeper for those of you in 30-team AL-only leagues.

With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
This year will you please list players everywhere they’re eligible? Seeing Raburn at the end of that list up there gives me hope.
