Top-500 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings: February 2021
FantraxHQ is the official content sponsor of Fantrax.com, the hottest Fantasy Site of 2019 and 2020.
Dynasty leagues are a 24/7/365 time investment. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but improvements can be made at any time of the year. Whether that’s via trade, drafts, or working the waiver wire, the goal of these Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings is to assist you in whatever move you might be looking to make. It’s never a bad time to upgrade your team.
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. A lot goes into these rankings.
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.
If you aren’t playing your dynasty leagues on Fantrax, you’re missing out on the deepest player pool and most customization around.

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
I’m curious I just was offered a dynasty trade that is tough for me – I give up Kelenic for Wander Franco? Would you do it? Im thinking Kelenic is more of a stud for fantasy purposes and Franco is great don’t get me wrong but I think more of a real life player – I appreciate you taking the time
Hey Mike, I’ve been on the fence about moving Kelenic above Wander myself and I’m finally there. I’d keep kelenic there.
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.
Without hesitation.
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!
ah ha, looks like I was on the right track with Pablo! even though I was high on him, I didn’t see him being that good last year haha
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.
Soto, Robert, Eloy, Turner
coin flip the next 2 from the pool of Devers, Bregman & JoRam, leaning JoRam if you’re dead set on competing for the championship this year (and I’d assume so if it’s an 8 team league, everyone should be a contender), or if you’re somehow working a rebuild, I’d lean Devers just for the fact he’s 4 years JoRam’s junior.
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.
How does Devin Williams NOT crack to top 500? Beyond unhittable. I’m not saying he should be top 200-300 but there are pitchers he must land in front of, Like Keona Kela for example.
This update was done very early in his breakout. Wasn’t going top rank a rookie reliever with one month of success too high. He’ll be well within my top-500 next week.
Was Jeimer Candelario an oversight? Dude slashed 297/369/503 in the heart of the Tigers lineup and at 26, is just now heading into his prime.
This update was done before he really started hitting well. He’ll be in my top-500 next week, but not overly high on him longterm.
Hi Eric,
Thank you for all that you do! I was wondering if you could look at my pitching staff and see if it looks good for next year or if I should try and target another solid tier 1-2 starter. My league is 5×5 12-team ROTO.
Sale, Paddack, Glasnow, Gallen, Gray, Hendricks, Burnes, Skubal and Pineda
Thank you so much
In my personal rankings, you have seven of my top-30 or so for SPs. You should be fine there.
Thanks Eric!! You’re the best!
You’re very welcome. Thank you for checking them out!
I’d be looking to package Sale and Paddack for someone with a little more stability (as far as SP’s can have stability, haha), in their mid-late 20’s. Paddack’s value is dropping each time he takes the ball, and Sale is past the point where he should have been dealt (yeah, yeah hindsight is 20/20, but still), but still has the name value and past results that someone may still buy into. I’d be looking at the Castillo/Woodruff/Snell/Fried group and see if you might find a match where the owner of one of those types may be a bit shallow on SP overall, yet in position to compete this year. I’d sell them on Paddack replacing the youth they’re losing, and they’re getting an ace kicker bouncing back in Sale (even though nobody knows if he’ll even be half his former self after the surgery). If they resist, I’d even kick in Skubal to try to make it a “Godfather deal.” – Just my 2 cents tho.
No Justus Sheffield? You like Dunn more than him?
I do. Very much question Sheffield’s command and control longterm. He was in the next 30-40 or so.
Awesome list but the Framber Valdez ranking is brutal. Dude was a top 25 pitcher in fantasy this year, has maybe the best curveball in baseball right now, was absolutely unhittable in more than half of his starts including mystifying the Twins in the playoffs, and he doesn’t crack the top 300? Yeesh.
Here’s why.
Got hit very hard (5th percentile or lower in HH rate and EV)
Doesn’t have a reliable 3rd pitch. CH used less than 10% and not very effective.
Sinker was also very hittable.
Yes, the CB was filthy and very effective, but that’s one pitch. If the sinker improves next year and he can establish the CH as at least a serviceable 3rd offering, he’ll move up more. I have my doubts though.
Thanks for the response! I know his hard hit rate wasn’t great, but there are numerous aces in the bottom 5th percentile of hard hit rate with him (Cole, DeGrom, Darvish, Giolito) and he was FIRST in baseball in ground ball rate. I know that can be a scary thing, but it can also be a great thing. Along with that, nearly all of his other underlying data points to him being an ace: 7th in FIP, 8th in SIERA, 4th in HR/9, 8th in BB/9, 17th in K/9. I do get what you’re saying about his repertoire, but it seemed to me like he grew a ton this year, mentally and mechanically, and I see him continuing to grow rather than regressing.
Jordan Montgomery not close to 500?
He’s not far off. In the 525-550 range right now.
Hi Eric,
I know you are high on Kyle Tucker (which is why I wanna go for him). Do you think this is a fair offer or too little?
1. Noelvi Marte
2. Either Logan Gilbert, Edward Cabrera or Josiah Gray
3. 1st round or 2nd round pick in FYPD (11th pick)
Thanks!!
I’d probably want two from #2 to deal Tucker there.
But if you can get him for just one of #2, that’d be ideal. Start there.
Thank you for your time, I’ll see if I can swing it!
You’re very welcome!
Can’t imagine a Tucker owner would be in any sort of position to sell on him just as he’s starting to realize some value at the MLB level, in exchange for a couple or few minor leaguers several years away from even finding out what they’re capable of. Someone who owns Tucker is likely a team emerging from a rebuild, or someone who’s already ridiculously stacked with an overpowered team, IMO. A deal like that w/ Noelvi as the centerpiece, and a couple of those other throw-in top 100’s would be more like what I’d expect to see netting an OF bat of 29 years of age, or older – Castellanos, Ozuna, Whit, S. Marte, Myers… someone more of that ilk, being moved from a team that is entering a rebuild and looking to move those “middle aged” type guys for upside prospects before they start losing value (or losing more value in the cases of Whit & Marte as they age and become 1-dimensional lacking speed).
Any chance Rockies give Hampson and Hilliard 500 – 550 ab’s ?
Hangin onto both one more year but running out of time and roster space
Both? Slim. I do think Hampson gets close to that in 2021 though.
Eric – this is great. How often will you compile this list during the spring? When do you anticipate the last dynasty list before opening day? I want to use this list for draft day. Thank you
I’m actually going to do another small update following the world series and again in spring training.
Hi Eric,
Thank you again for everything you do. I don’t know if you’ll be able to answer this, but I wanted to know your opinion on if I need to upgrade my hitting. I asked in an earlier post about going for Kyle Tucker, I think that would help me tremendously. I am in win-now mode with my team. Any other guys I should look into? I have Noelvi Marte as trade bait along with Gilbert, Skubal and E. Cabrera. Thanks so much!
C – Garver
C – Huff
1B – Goldschmidt
2B – LeMahieu
3B – Urshela
SS – Bogaerts
CI – Christian Walker
MI – B. Lowe
OF – Hampson, McNeil, Carlson, Gurriel Jr., Pollock
UT – Nelson Cruz
Reserve – Belt, Encarnacion, N. Lowe, Jared Walsh, Canha, Grossman, Haniger
I think focusing on outfield would be good. Maybe try and package Marte and one of the arms for a top-75 player or so.
Thank you again Eric for all your time and advice!
You’re very welcome Zack. Thanks for the support!
Seeing this super late, but that lineup is severely lacking power if/when Cruz/Goldy are hurt or slump, so hopefully you worked a deal for a power OF bat.
Hi Eric!
I’m interested in where you think Ha-Seong Kim should go in a 12 team dynasty. Thank you!
He’ll probably slot in around 250ish initially for me. Like the all-around offensive profile.
Okay, thank you!
Hey Eric,
I’m in a very deep Dynasty (30 teams, 40-man, 60 specs/team). Salary Cap at $159m/year. I inquired about a trade for Kole Calhoun, who locks in at $9.25m thru 2023 (player option for that in 2023). Other team requested Jackson Rutledge straight up. I’m in a somewhat competitive position for playoffs this year, and could use the every day OF. Would you do ths though?
I think I might’ve answered this on Twitter, but I’d probably do that even though I’m not crazy about that Calhoun price.
Hi Eric,
Great work as always! I’m looking for some depth with my starting pitching in my dynasty league and I wanted to get your opinion on John Means. I noticed he’s not in your top 500 list. Is there something that scares you about his profile? Other potential options are K. Freeland, C. Bassitt, J. Dunn but I just can’t get excited about this group.
Keep up the great work. I appreciate what you do!
Kory
Hey Kory, thank you! Means will be in my next update (likely next week or week after). Been digging into him more and like what I see. I’d take him out of that group.
How do I get these friggin’ ads off bttm of page, so I can print this
Email me at [email protected] and I can email you a spreadsheet or PDF
Eric,
What I don’t understand is how do you have guys ranked higher in the top 500 that you released on Dec 22nd then you do in the positional rankings you updated on December 18th?
As an exampled, in your positional rankings for SS on the 18th, you have Jazz Chisholm SS 8 spots higher than Jeter Downs SS. Yet on your top 500 rankings, Jeter Downs is 183 and Jazz Chisholm is behind him at 201?? Thanks
The positional rankings are 2021 redraft rankings and not dynasty. I see Jazz playing more in 2021 and being more valuable, but like Downs more longterm.
Hi there. great list. Just ONE player I would like to ask you about, Franchy Cordero. Not in your top 500?
Cheers, Bill
Hey Bill, thanks for the kind words! Franchy is in my next 50 players.
Hi Eric, I noticed you have Nate Pearson at 104 and Ian Anderson at 109. Looking at your rankings for 2021, you have Anderson at 29, and Pearson at 62. Do you think the long term projection is that close for them? Also, what do you think Pearson’s role will look like in 2021? Thanks for the great work and fantastic rankings.
Hey Tim. I do. For 2021, i’m worried TOR limits Pearson a little bit since he ended 2020 hurt. Longterm, I like Pearson more, but there’s not a big gap.
Hey Eric,
Phenomenal work as always! Can you tell me which 8 of the below players you’d keep? There are no salary, draft pick, or contract implications in this league, so the best players typically get kept by their owners without any penalty for a long time.
Bellinger
C. Seager
Meadows
Snell
Franmil
Adell
Sixto
Luzardo
Biggio
Carlson
Ian Anderson
Kelenic
Gore
Vaughn
Kirilloff
Thank you! I’d keep Belly, Seager, Adell, Kelenic, Biggio, Carlson, Snell, Meadows.
If you want to keep a 2nd pitcher. Gore over Biggio, especially if it’s AVG and not OBP. Sixto could be an option as that 2nd arm over Gore solely for the purpose of selling high if you think you can in your league.
I know you have Tork higher, but would you trade Lamet for Torkelson in a points league where pitchers are really valuable?
If pitchers are valued more in your league, I’d be okay making that move.
Hey Eric, longtime reader, first time commenter. 🙂
Which 2 of the following 3 would you keep in a dynasty league (no limit on how long you own a player)?
1. Lourdes Gurriel
2. Dylan Carlson
3. Devin Williams
Saves + holds is a category, so Williams has more value than usual. Right now, I’m leaning towards keeping the two OFs, but it’s tough because I already have Trout and Grisham.
Thanks!
Hey Bill. Yeah, I’d go Gurriel and Carlson. I have a hard time picking any reliever over a hitter unless it’s a glaring difference in value (Hader over David Fletcher for example). Thanks for the support!
What are your thoughts on this trade? I was not winning the pennant this year.
Trade:
Harper
deGrom
Receive:
Bichette
Gore
Kopech
I’d want another really good piece to trade those two.
12 team 5×5 roto keeper league. We keep 15 players. $320 cap at time we submit keepers, but otherwise salaries don’t matter. Players get $5 raises each year.
Will keep 15 of the 17 below, most likely dropping Laureano and Soroka.
1B – Olson $25
2B – Albies $17, Lux $10
SS – Lindor $33
3B – Moncada $30, Torkelson $5
OF – Arozarena $10, Carlson $10, Laureano $17, Teoscar $2
SP – Berrios $20, Fried $15, Valdez $10, Soroka $13, Pearson $6, Musgrove $10
RP – Karinchak $8
Was just offered up 2 trade options.
1 – $16 Bichette for $33 Lindor, $2 Teoscar, and $10 Musgrove
2 – $16 Bichette and $13 Gore for $33 Lindor, $2 Teoscar, and $20 Berrios.
If I take trade 1, Bichette Replaces Lindor, and that leaves me with 15 after trading Teoscar and Musgrove.
If I take trade 2, Bichette replaces Lindor. Gore becomes a keeper and most likely don’t keep either Laureano or Soroka.
Should I go for one of the trades and if so, which one?
Trade two looks very enticing. I’d probably go with that one.
Thanks. I was leaning no trade or #2. If I do trade #2. Who’s the drop?
Probably Soroka. The injury worries me and his lack of Ks caps his value.
What are your thoughts on Bryce Ball? I know he’s blocked by Freddie Freeman at 1B but his debut, regardless of age, seemed to be outstanding.
Also, what are your thoughts on Kyle Wright? Can he still reach his potential or is he now just a mid-rotation starter at best? I know Giolito is an outlier but maybe Wright can finally break through with a touch better command just like Giolito.
Lastly, any prospects on or off this list that could be severely undervalued and rise at least 150 or more spots by next year?
I enjoy reading your content, keep it up!
JoRam should plummet on this list after the Lindor trade and Santana leaving. He might accrue 200 walks this year, but kiss the power, avg/obp and speed goodbye. The team won’t be letting him run since he’s their next major marketable asset they’ll be moving, and teams won’t be pitching to him because there’s literally nothing else in that lineup that could do any damage whatsoever, so they’ll be putting him on 1B every time it’s remotely reasonable to.
A good hitter is a good hitter, regardless of lineup position or so-called “protection”.
Two part question if anyone would like to offer any thoughts:
1. Advice on keepers? I’m in a standard 10 team keeper league, head to head categories, really competitive. 6 keepers each team.
My squad: Juan Soto, Shane Bieber, Wander Franco, Pete Alonso are locked in. For my last two keeper spots I’m debating between Austin Meadows, Jose Abreu, Gavin Lux, and Yu Darvish.
Leaning towards Darvish as he’s competitive for the short term, and Meadows as the best combo from those three hitters for upside and major league production. Any changes you would make?
Part 2. I have a trade offer from the league champ who needs to dump a player to finalize his 6 keepers. He’s asking for Shane Bieber in return for my choice of 2 of the following:
1 of Lindor, Jose Ramirez, Kyle Tucker, Luis Robert
1 of Walter Beuhler, Jack Flaherty, Lucas Giolito
His team was stacked and it seems like a no brainer to make a deal from that offer but I’m also a big Bieber fan as he hits his prime. Thoughts?
I’d go Meadows and Darvish as well.
If you can get JoRam and Buehler, that’d be phenomenal.
Hey Eric, trying to clean up my roster and curious if there is any reason I should continue to hold Reynaldo Lopez? Not sure who I’d be looking to pick in lieu of hi, but Coby Mayo is top of the list right now. For context, my rotation is pretty stacked ahead of Lopez.
If your rotation is set, I’d cut Lopez for Mayo. I don’t see any value from Lopez any time soon.
Hello Eric,
I could use an upgrade at OF and SB. I have an offer to acquire Teoscar, is this good?
I get: Teoscar Hernandez + 3.28 FYPD 2020
He gets: Josiah Gray, Sam Huff, 1.11 FYPD 2020
Thanks
Hey James. Yeah, I’d take that. Huff is replaceable and I’m not super high on Gray.
Just wanted to make sure, love your work. Thanks Eric!
Thank you James!
Just wondering how many starting hitters/pitchers you are assuming in a league for this ranking list
Because I’m assuming boom or bust players get a bump in shallower leagues
I assume the usual 60/40ish split.
Great List Eric! I’m in a deep keeper league (12 team, 5 x 5, QS instead of W). Keep 15, rookie eligible player do not count towards the 15. I’ve been 3rd the pass 2 years. Here are my “locked in” keepers/RE:
Christian Yelich
Gerrit Cole
Corey Seager
Jarred Kelenic
Jack Flaherty
Julio Rodriguez
Randy Arozarena
Max Fried
Luke Voit
Andrew Vaughn
Sonny Gray
Max Muncy
CJ Abrams
Ian Happ
Lance Lynn
Liam Hendriks
Ryan Mountcastle
Kenley Jansen

I have two more spots. Having a tough time choosing between the following: Josh Donaldson, Gary Sanchez, Jake Cronenworth, Dylan Moore, John Means, or Trevor Rosenthal. Thoughts?
Tough calls, but I’d go Moore and Means.
If you had to expand another 10-20 players which would you include? (501-520)
Michael Chavis
Taylor Rogers
Adam Duvall
Manuel Beltre
Madison Bumgarner
Gabriel Arias
Alex Colome
Sherten Apostel
Jake Fraley
Mike Minor
Josh James
Austin Slater
Shed Long Jr.
Adrian Houser
Jared Oliva
Kris Bubic
Adrian Morejon
Jonathan India
Miguel Hiraldo
Tyler Stephenson
I have to keep 8 guys in a dynasty league with a roster of 30 players and a budget of $300. 4 OF, 3 MI, 2 of every other Position player and a DH. 8 Starting Pitchers.
Which of these 8 do I keep? Number in parentheses is what it would cost me to keep the player…
LeMaheiu ($6)
Alcantara ($6)
Luis Castillo ($12)
Maeda ($6)
Hader ($6)
Will Smith ($6)
Jose Abreu ($21)
Albies ($12)
Devers ($14)
Machado ($28)
Kepler ($6)
Civale ($6)
Snell ($12)
Sorry for the delay. I’d keep DJ, Castillo, Maeda, Albies, Devers, Machado, Snell, Smith (assuming it’s LA catcher).
Incredible tool! Appreciate the hard work that went into this, used it for my first dynasty draft this year.
*One small fix, Cristian Hernandez SS on the Cubs is listed as 20 on this list, however he is only 17*
Thank you for your takes!
Dynasty keeper league, 16 teams 27 keepers, im on the clock. Who is safest pick? Burns, arozarena or even karnataka because closers hard to come by
Sorry, didn’t see this but I would’ve went Burnes
Hello Mr. Cross. Great work! Im in a keeper(KEEP 9) league(12teams), 28 men roster
Batting cats are Runs (R), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Strikeouts (K), Batting Average (AVG), On-base Percentage (OBP), Extra Base Hits (XBH) If you have the depth to target anyone who would be the best batter to get in a trade? Soto, Trout, Tatis, Acuna or someone else?! Thanks in advance.
Will your 2021 dynasty rankings be updated again in March before the season starts?
Yes, likely late next week.
Awesome! Any big movers to know before my draft this Friday (3/26)? Thanks!
thank you.
Hey Eric, as always I appreciate all you do for the fantasy baseball community! 12 team dynasty league and I’m in full rebuild. Shallow rosters of around 25 players. Got an offer for my Jose Ramirez of CJ Abrams, Bohm, Grisham. Is that enough in return or should I be looking for more? Thanks!
Hey Eric, keep up the great work! I’m in a 12 team 5×5 dynasty, full rebuild. If I were to trade Jose Ramirez, is a return of CJ Abrams, Bohm and Grisham/Cease enough?
if the 3rd player is Grisham, yes it is.
Thank you sir!
Probably way off topic, but i am in a 16 keeper dynasty league, here are my 28 keepers this year. i draft 8th, looking for who you think fits the team.
