2021 Consensus Top-40 Fantasy Baseball Third Base Rankings
That’s right, it’s finally Fantasy Baseball draft season! While some of us degenerates were drafting back in October and November, January is the first month where fantasy baseball drafts really kick into high gear. We here at FantraxHQ have been pumping out a ton of great content all offseason long and now are diving head-first into our 2021 Fantrax Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit. A big part of any draft kit are the rankings, and we’re continuing our staff consensus rankings for 2021 with our fantasy baseball third base rankings.
Below you’ll find the consensus rankings that eight of our MLB writers were involved in. Those being Eric Cross, Chris Clegg, Mick Ciallela, Justin Johnson, Jorge Montanez, David Mendelson, Nic Civale, and Dave Swan. Each writer provided anywhere from 40-60 third basemen so we could create our consensus top-40.
When it comes to the hot corner, this position has a ton of talent at the top. After Jose Ramirez, you have a massive second tier of six guys and you can make a case for any of them as high as 2nd or third overall. Machado was the #2 guy for most here but after that, it’s a massive cluster. Anyway, let’s get into the rankings. That’s why you came here right?
What?! Your league is not planning on using Fantrax? Inconceivable! Check out everything Fantrax has to offer and I’m sure you’ll come around to our way of thinking.
