the way i see it, matsui is going to be the "safer" pick, projecting out to around where he was this year, but andruw has a much larger upside; i don't think 40 homers and a .280 BA is unreasonable for next year, with better periferrals than this year due to a better (read: more mature) lineup around him, along with a full year of chipper.
so i've got them about the same, with andruw in front it you want the riskier pick with higher upside.
but the 25-30 bags sizemore's gonna steal next year put him in front of the lot.

I love how low Brad Wilkerson has dropped on everybody's list. He is going to be a huge sleeper for me. He had an injured shoulder that bothered him all year. I project him to bounce back to .260-100-25-70-15 this year. Making him a late round steal. How he can be ranked as the last CF is beyond me.
In the points league that I'm in, there's +1 for walks, -1 for Ks, etc. But maybe in your league Ks don't matter, in which case someone like Adam Dunn must be pretty valuable.

The players in the last section are not ranked....no one has recommend he be moved up...

That's a very good OF, and an even more valuable CF. If you look up the stats, there actually aren't as many 100-30-100-.300 OFers as one may think, so having that solid production from CF is excellent. Sizemore's steals are valuable, but I'd probably take Matsui's bashing over Sizemore's steals.
Sizemore hit just one less HR last year than Matsui in less plate appearances.
