Top-500 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings: September 2020
FantraxHQ is the official content sponsor of Fantrax.com, the hottest Fantasy Site of 2018 and 2019.
This 2020 season has been a whirlwind, hasn’t it? With a shortened 60-game season, we’ve had the difficult task of trying to gauge player value when stars are struggling and fantasy nobodies prior to 2020 are surging. Values are changing every single day, some more drastically than others. While we can’t overreact too much in a season like this, keeping these rankings as up to date as possible is my goal and adjusting players to where I believe their current values are. Whether you’re contending and looking to make trades or rebuilding for the future, hopefully, these Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings will assist you in making your team better for the long haul.
The below rankings take many factors into consideration. Age, current performance, projected future performance, health/durability, ceiling, floor, proximity to the Majors (for prospects), credit score, etc, are all factored in. Okay, maybe not the last one, but you get my point.
And lastly, a reminder. Every league is different. There are my base rankings to go off of and should be adjusted accordingly to gel with your league rules and your team strategy. Some leagues value prospects more heavily than others or have OBP as a category instead of AVG. The list goes on and on. Whatever your league format/style is, take these rankings, adjust accordingly, and go from there.

Why so low on woodruff? Obviously, it has been a relatively small sample, but feel like he should be up in front of Paxton/Bum type guys. Also, you have Daniel Murphy as “David” Murphy. I realize he’s been a big disappointment but you didnt have to do him like that! Love the content as always though.
Re Murphy: Whoops!
For Woodruff, I like the gains he’s made this season. A lot of the arms in his range are very close IMO and I have no issues putting Woddy ahead of them.
very good well done thank you
How far away is Plesac from cracking this list and what type long term value do you foresee? Mid-rotation guy? Also, should I be buying in dynasty?
Thank you
Plesac is a back-end SP moving forward in my eyes. Decent pitcher, but lacks a high upside. I wouldn’t be investing too heavily in dynasty.
In our Fantrax dynasty league, a trade was made for Plesac, R. Puason, and N. Mozara for Jacob Degrom!
Should the Degrom trader be banished from all fantasy sports for the remainder of time??
Haha, I wouldn’t go that far, but that’d not a good deal.
Hunter Dozier seems very low
I’m not a believer in him longterm.
Why is Meadows ranked higher than Kepler and Muncy? Trying to decide which one is my last keeper.
Other then speed whats makes Tatis Jr or Soto better than Vlad in Dynasty league since the start of last year i feel what i have heard Vlad has the best bat and he will compete for Batting titles in years to comes.
They’re all very close. Soto and Tatis also have very special bats and Soto can be close to or maybe an even better all-around bat than Vlad and provides a little speed.
More upside – Kelenic or Luciano?
Thanks!
That’s really close. Pure upside, I’ll give the slight edge to Luciano.
Hi Eric, thanks for the list. Surely will help me to define my keepers for next year. I have a doubt, who would you keep (2 openings) between Joe Adell , Nate Lowe, Ryu and Brendan McKay. Thanks for your help.
Thank you Jorge. I’d keep Adell and McKay there.
Raimel Tapia only 25 and hitting .290 in the middle of the Rockies lineup doesn’t make the top 400?
He barely missed. I’m not certain how he fits in the Rockies plans moving forward. Very easily could be a 4th OF for them. If I felt more confident that he will get regular PT in 2020, he’d be in the 250-300 range.
What are your thoughts on Ketel Marte? Is what he’s doing this year sustainable for the future? I traded Gary Sanchez for Ketel Marte in my dynasty league. Love Gary but I feel like Ketel has longer upside because of the demanding position catcher has on a body.
I mostly buy into Ketel, but not at a top-25 level. Mainly, because I don’t expect this level of power to sustain longterm. Still a top-50 guy overall though moving forward.
Would Danny Santana still be outside the top 100 at this point?
Yes, he’s not near the top-100 for me.
Hi Eric – could you please give an opinion on a trade? I play in a 14 team dynasty league on Fantrax, we often use your rankings to evaluate trades. Our league policy is to “reverse any trade that cannot be reasonably argued as legitimate…with clear understanding that in dynasty (versus redraft) there’s enormous leeway with ‘legitimate’ based on short- & long-term needs of the participating clubs”. Recently, a contending team traded Isan Diaz (you ranked as #249) and Orelvis Martinez (unranked) to a rebuilding team for Miguel Sano (#164). Some people in the league consider this trade one-sided and worthy of a veto. Do you think this trade should be vetoed or allowed through? Thanks.
Apologies for the delay. That should be allowed through in my opinion. It’s not too bad.
Plus, Orelvis was ranked at 282, not unranked.
Hi Eric,
Thanks so much for this valuable resource. It’s been a boon to my Dynasty leagues! Currently asking about my 5×5 AL-Only 10-team Dynasty league.
I have the ability to claim Jake Fraley (#275) or Kyle Lewis (unranked, formerly a top-100/top-50 prospect) as an IR replacement for Mike Tauchman (#389).
First instinct is to go with Fraley, but why has Lewis fallen so low? Is there a chance he becomes better than Fraley in the bigs? Or am I complicating things too much and I should just trust the list?
Thanks again!
K.
Hey Karim,
Thank you for reading and happy to help! I would go Fraley there. The problem with Lewis is consistency with the hit tool for me. I like the raw power and believe he could be a 25-homer guy at peak, but the average isn’t likely going to be overly great, likely capped in the .260 range or so.
Thanks for checking back Eric. I appreciate it. I’ll go get Fraley.
Any time Karim! Thanks for the question.
thoughts on Jon Means. he had a monster first half and has since struggled a little. The last 5 starts look more like the first half (regressed for the mean since he was an ace in the first half).
you do not have him ranked- is this on purpose or just the last update occuring before the last 30 days where he has retrurned to fantasy relavent. I am working my roster for the offseason- we lock rosters after the end of the regular season, but do not choose keepers until spring training- we keep 25; but with NA/DL slots we end up with 30 on our roster and have to trim 5 at the start of the year. i am pretty set and just trying to figure out who will jump the most in the offseason since it is doubtful i keep him either way. So i am looking for guys who may be undervalued now, that will jump when people re-evaluate how their season went in the offseason.
Means looks like a good example- we have a good first half- 1.5 months of dumpster fire- then looks like he is starting to finish strong. that normally has people discounting the dumpster fire and he shoots into the top 150 range. The other guys i have are Stroman, Carlos Martinez, Frankie Montas. The hope is that 1 of them gains enough value to be worth keeping as either a 3rd closer (behind kenly and vazquez) or a 10th SP (7/8/9 would be paxton, price and ray at this point)
Hey Eric. Thanks or the list. I found two edits for you
Both Will Smith’s are RPs I’m Atlanta. I assume one of them I suspect the higher ranked on is a catcher for the Dodgers.
I don’t think you intended to rank Julio Rodriguez, the catcher from Detroit at 73.
Thanks, yeah there was a slight glitch with the data I converted over. Should be all fixed now. Thanks for reading!
I have multiple people trying to acquire Franco from me in the from of picks. Would you trade him at all?? How many first rounders would it take? I have Lindor in my SS an we speak so I have the flexibility to move Franco. Thanks
I would want players for Franco, and even then, I’d ask for the moon. I’ve NEVER ranked a guy below Double-A this highly.
Just starting to draft for my first ever Dynasty League. How early would you look to draft Franco?
I’d definitely look at him in the first three rounds. He isn’t making it past pick 30-35 or so in most dynasty start ups.
What are your thoughts on Sam Hilliard in dynasty format? Also, do you prefer Kolten Wong’s upside over Odor’s in a 7×7 categories (OPS, Average, TB) dynasty league?
I’m a fan of Hilliard. Nice power/speed mix. AVG won’t be too high, but the power/speed mix in Coors will play. Between Wong and Odor, I have them only three spots apart. Upside I’d say is similar, but Wong probably has the higher floor.
How about Spencer Howard unless I missed him he was left off your 500 the Phillies are high on him and many project him to debut in 2020
crazyhorse
He’s at #180. I’m very high on him as well.
Duplantier? Honeywell? Even heyward. Ouch
What about them? That they didn’t make the list? Duplantier is a Sp3/4 in my eyes, nothing too special. Honeywell would’ve made the list but is incredibly risky at this point. Heyward, sure, he could make the list, but only in the back-end.
Garrett Hampson at 100 lol
He’s legit. I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face. Plus hit tool and speed, sound plate approach, and enough power to get into the 13-18 HR range. All he needs is a chance to start regularly. His September production hints at
I saw Hampson’s BP in consecutive days at Coors last year and I came away convinced he does not have 13-18 HR power. He’s still a “buy” imo because speed is so scarce, but I wouldn’t expect more than 10.
Agree to disagree on the power. Not saying he’s a 20-homer guy, but I definitely think teens are possible at Coors.
What do you think about his 82mph exit velo?
I am curious your thoughts on Dominic Smith and Domingo Santana. Domingo was looking great until a major slump after his injury this year. Dominic seems to just need a starting opportunity. If both had a guaranteed starting opportunity, would they rank higher?
They would, especially Santana. While Smith has shown improvement, I’m still not overly high on him.
How close is Soto to passing Trout?
They’re not far apart.
Why so low on glasnow?
Three things…
1) Command issues
2) Durability
3) CH stinks
I like him, just not going gaga over him like others.
Opinions on a couple of the Korean transfers:
Josh Lindblom
Kwang-hyun Kim
?
Honestly, I’m never high on foreign arms right away, unless it’s an Ohtani type player. I’m not putting much stock in either guy for 2020.
Trying to rebuild pithing depth in my minors. Deep Fantasy (20 team) lots of guys on rosters outside of this list. Pache and Hays in CF pipeline.
Pitchers of note: B. McKay, Teheran, Rodriguez, M. Wacha, T. Mahle, M. Keller, and B. Keller. I’m still out a few years (at least) from contention. Wonder how you feel about selling out for pitching prospects? Gap between J. Polanco and T. Turner is sizable when Turner plays a full season. What are your thoughts about further development from J. Polanco and the trade overall? I feel like I’m giving up too much, but with such shallow pitching I’m curious if you would make this play…
TRADE
T. Turner SS
L. Taveras CF
M. Moniak CF
A. Alzolay SP
J. Loaisiga RP
RECEIVE
J. Polanco SS
S. Reid-Foley SP
M. Libertore SP
A. Medina SP
E. Hankins SP
It’s not terrible, but I agree, you’re giving up too much.
just a heads up, you’ve got tsutsugo in there twice. 340 & 351
i wish there WERE two of him then i’d have a better shot to get him in my draft
THat was already updated. Try clearing your cache.
I’m still seeing them both there
I’m going to be doing an update soon anyway which will overwrite everything.
Hi Eric,
Im in a 6×6 Total bases and Holds
Dynasty type league keep 35, draft 15 rounds, with a limit of 10 adds in the year. Having a bit of trouble with the last 5 keepers. 5 of these Evan White, Roughed Odor, Justin Upton, Luis Urias, Heliot Ramos,
Andrew Heaney, Mike Foltynewitz, Marcus Stroman, Im good in hitting, but mid pack in pitching, which is why im thinking maybe I should keep more pitching. What do you think?
Thanks,
Wayne
Hey Wayne. I would personally keep White, Heany, Stroman, Folty, and Upton.
Thought maybe I should let you know, if I declared today, I was dropping Ramos, Urias, and Upton, so basically im asking if im over valueing the pitchers because of my situation.
Thanks
Wayne
Hey Eric,
I’m going to use the site today instead of Twitter for this question……
What are your thoughts on the long term upside and potential fantasy value for:
Terrin Vavra
Jeremiah Jackson
George Valera
Valera has the highest upside overall with the potential to be a top-20 prospect in 2021. Vavra has solid contact skills and modest power/speed, but not sure how he fits in Colorado longterm. Jackson has nice power, but I question the AVG.
Who is the most mlb ready of these: Lodolo, Rutledge, Espino, Manoah?
who has the most upside?
Most MLB-ready is Lodolo. He’s the most polished arm out of these four and likely makes it to the Majors first.
Eric,
Thanks for putting this list together, as well as all of your other ones.
That said, no Hudson Head? As high as you have been in him in other places, and where you have him ranked there compared to guys that show up on this list, that surprises me.
How come?
Head didn’t miss by much, but his proximity to the Majors factored in here. Longterm, I’m high on his skillset.
Gotcha, thanks!
Hey Eric,
I’ve recently gone through a huge rebuild period with my team. I’ve got about 19 of the top 100 prospects. I’m obviously not expecting to contend for the next couple of years. A lot of guys are approaching me about trading Corey Seager but i’m really stuck on how to value him at this point. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
I’ve soured on Seager. Still think he’s a solid asset, but he doesn’t run and doesn’t have huge power. I think what we saw initially is about as good as it’s gonna get with him. Maybe .300/25 at some point, but don’t think there’s upside for more than that. I’d be fine trading him as his name still can bring back a good return.
Is Sam Carlson SP Seattle not on the list? Unless I missed him.
I don’t have him in my top-500 overall dynasty ranks yet. Like him as a prospect, but when you factor in MLB players too, he’s not quite there for me.
Hey Eric! As always, thanks for the great work! Was offered Correa & Bart for my Muncy in a 12 team, shallow dynasty league. I’m rebuilding and stocking up on young upside/prospect, so Muncy is an obvious trade piece. Is it worth the risk to take on Correa? Thanks!
Great stuff some really good ones
How high would Ohtani be on your list if this were a daily league where he can be used as a pitcher and hitter?
Top-25 definitely. Much more value there.
Thanks for putting this together! I get to keep a player at each position, plus a UTIL, 4SP’s, 4RP’s. I noticed you don’t have Keone Kela on the list, which I had marked above Dakota Hudson. I guess it might be easier to lay out my options and list who I am keeping. Am I making any mistakes?
C – O. Narvaez
1b – H. Dozier
2b – Hiura
SS – Bichette
3b – Andujar
LF – Calhoun
CF – Haniger
RF – Mercado
U – Villar
SP – Hendricks
SP – McCullers
SP – Folty
SP – Odorizzi
RP – Woodruf
RP – Leclerc
RP – German
RP – Kela
Batters not listed for those positions are Swanson, Votto, Luis Arraez, Tauchmann, Santander, Kendrick.
Pitchers not listed are Quintana, Ross Stripling, Luis Severino, Dakota Hudson
So would you suggest I keep Arraez overHaniger and Hudson over Kela? Anything else I might be missing would also be appreciated. Thanks again!
Was hoping that Severino not being kept would go unnoticed and I could pick him up late in the draft with his low O-Rank, do you think it’s worthwhile to keep him over any of the above pitchers?
Thanks again, I really do appreciate it.
Absolutely do. Severino still has immense upside. I’d probably let go of Odorizzi or German.
Just saw this comment too. Keep Sevy over Hudson.
Hi Eric,
Mitch Haniger was a keeper from last year. Will he ever return to form?
I’m not betting on it.
So I’m in a dynasty league with a draft this weekend. It is very deep with supp. and minor drafts, and I am unsure if my catcher will be good enough. I have Robinson Chirinos, who I was hoping could hold on long enough until Miguel Amaya comes up for the Cubs, but could potentially trade up and grab Christian Vazquez in the supplemental draft. I have pick 9, and am thinking trading that and a fourth round minor league pick for the number 3 overall supplemental pick. What do you think
I’d probably stand pat. Amaya should be a solid fantasy catcher and isn’t terribly far away.
Knizner. do you not see him as the Cardinals “catcher of the future”?
It’s possible he could be, but the Cardinals also have Ivan Herrera who might be even better.
Thoughts on plesac, Muncy , keller for biggio and howard. Id be getting biggio and howard side
I’d take that. Very high on both you’d be acquiring.
Interested why the gap between Puason and Erick Pena. Pena was listed ahead in the top 250 prospects, so I’m interested in what vaulted Puason up so high.
Position factors in a little more here and have reevaluated each. I kinda went a bit overboard ranking Pena, to be honest.
I have a decision to make come 2021 season
Pick 5 keepers from this bunch standard h2h cat scoring
Trout
Harper
Bregman
Bellinger
Gleybor torres
Bo bichette
Chris paddock/bauer
I’d go Trout, Harper, Bregman, Bellinger, and Bo.
Great work, as always! May I ask why Pablo Lopez is so low (#490). I’d have him close to top 150 for Dynasty. Thanks!
Top-150 seems a bit high. I need to see more sustained success from Lopez, and in general, I don’t think he has that level of upside. Thank you for reading!
thanks for the reply! It’s leading me to dig into him a little more. Maybe I had him a bit overrated in my mind. Thanks!
Any time! Thanks for reading!
Hi Eric,
Would you trade Paddack for Muncy straight up? I have Paddack, I want to sell him before his value gets too low. Thanks so much!
Sorry for the delay in responding. No, I wouldn’t make that move. Think you could get a better hitter for him.
Great list! You have Jose Garcia of the reds listed as 35 years old though….?
Thank you Cameron. Yeah, I do a VLOOKUP from a CSV I download from our database and sometimes it grabs the wrong age for these multiple same names. I try to catch and correct them all but some do slip through. Will be correct in ext week’s update.
Thanks for sharing your info
Would you keep Plesac or Burnes for next year?
I’d go Burnes. Higher upside.
Not a fan of Dylan Moore?
I am to a degree, but not convinced he’s more than a UTIL guy moving forward.
Great work! I am currently in an 8 team (6 keeper) league. Due to a lot of trades and waiver wire pitching, I have the following players:
Juan Soto
Bregman
Luis Robert
Eloy
Hiura
Trea Turner
Jose Ramirez
Devers
Yordan
Kyle Tucker
Which 6 would you keep as well as the next 2 for consideration? Thank you.
Thank you! I’d go Soto, Bregman, Robert, Trea, Devers, Yordan followed by J-Ram and Eloy
Thanks for the reply and I apologize for not getting back quicker. Obviously, Luis is a phenomenon but do you think that he will produce enough next year (fantasy wise) to garner a keeper pick? Or will he blossom in 2-3 years? Also, when/if do you think Yordan will gain an eligibility other than DH? Thanks again.
I do think Robert is worth a keeper pick. AVG might not be great but the power/speed should be there.
Yordan will likely be a year to year case, but with his knee issues, I doubt he gets much OF time.
Love the list!! I’m in a 12 team keeper league
Tatis Jr.
Robert
Huira
Glasnow
Gore
Sale
Springer
J. Rodriguez
Luciano
Kim
Greinke
I can keep 7, who would you pick?
Thanks Jeremiah! I’d go Tatis, Robert, Hiura, Gore, Springer, J-Rod, Glasnow.
What are your thoughts on Brandon Lowe, can he repeat seasons like 2020 year after year? If you have a choice between: Tim Anderson, Brandon Lowe, Kyle Lewis, Teoscar Hernandez, Trent Grisham, who would you pick first among the list?
Thanks a lot for your great work!
I do think he can maintain this level of production. Statcast data is promising. Out of that list, I’d probably go Anderson.
Hello Eric, again, thanks for your great work!
I’m looking to upgrade my pitching staff with some future aces in my dynasty baseball league. Can you name a few good young promising arms other than Gore, Cease, and company? Thoughts on Sixto Sanchez ,Casey Mize, Matt Manning, Spencer Howard, Asa Lacy, AJ Puk? Highest potential/low risk reward? Or are there other promising pitchers you could suggest to help me?
Thanks for coming back, really appreciate!
Ben
Hey Ben,
Sorry for the delay in responding. To start, I’d take Cease out of that discussion as his FB command is really holding him back. Luckily, there’s a ton of top-end pitching talent in the minors or that debuted this season. Sixto is a legit stud with three plus pitches. May is another great target. For prospects, Gore, Pearson, and Manning are no-doubt targets. Maybe you can get Howard or Luzardo on a slight buy-low. Little further away, love the trio of Lacy/Hancock/Meyer from this 2020 draft and both Mick Abel and Nick Bitsko have ace potential but are years away.
