Aaron Judge

We’ve covered all the infield positions so far with my midseason dynasty rankings. Now we head to the outfield. Whatever you desire can be found at this position. Want a masher like Giancarlo Stanton or Aaron Judge? The outfield position has it. Maybe you have a thing for players with speed like Billy Hamilton or Starling Marte. Yep, the outfield has that too. This is also the position where the two top dogs in fantasy baseball roam on defense. From young emerging stars to aging veterans that still have something left in…

Of course, when dealing with small sample sizes, a player’s results can be fluky, but placement at or near the top of these lists could be indicative of a substantive change to a player’s…

There have been a lot of breakout players and scorching hot starts so far this season. Narrowing down a list to just 10 guys was difficult. Certain players, like Ryan Zimmerman and Corey Dickerson, are having great seasons, but I don’t consider them true “breakout” players.
