Havok's 2010 Top 50 Outfielder Rankings

[Havok1517]

Outfielders
1. R. Braun (Mil) – His 1st year as the top OF in the majors
2. M. Kemp (LAD) – All-around tools are impressive
3. M. Holliday (Stl) – If his Cardinals numbers translate, he’d be #1
4. G. Sizemore (Cle) – May start slowly as he recovers but will bounce-back
5. J. Upton (Ari) – This could be his true breakout year
6. C. Crawford (TB) - Playing for a contract as he’s a FA in 2011
7. J. Ellsbury (Bos) – A lot of speed atop Boston order, tad uptick in power
8. N. Markakis (Bal) – Might be the most underrated player in baseball
9. C. Quentin (ChW) – If healthy he could lead the league in HR and RBIs
10. B. Upton (TB) – Tons of potential but power hasn’t blossomed quite yet
11. J. Hamilton (Tex) – If he plays he’s worthy of Top 10 placement
12. C. Lee (Hou) – Consistent and still in a great park
13. J. Bay (NYM) – Move to NL will help, could do well if Beltran and Reyes do
14. I. Suzuki (Sea) – Speed sliding but Mariners look to be much improved
15. M. Ramirez (LAD) – Amazingly underrated as he missed 50 games last year
16. C. Granderson (NYY) – We’ll see how he does in NY limelight
17. J. Bruce (Cin) – He’ll hit over 30 HR and raise his average to round .285
18. A. Lind (Tor) – Really helps a lot of fantasy teams during playoffs
19. J. Werth (Phi) – Finally full healthy year and reaped the benefits
20. A. Either (LAD) – He’ll do well to repeat his 2009 numbers
21. A. Dunn (Was) – The guy is only 30 and is usually a lock for 40HR 100RBI
22. T. Hunter (LAA) – Had a fine year in just 119 games, still capable
23. Ad. Jones (Bal) – Really wore down in 2nd half but has the goods
24. C. Gonzalez (Col) – He seems to be everyone’s breakout star
25. S. Victorino (Phi) – Continuing to slow down and power lessening
26. L. Milledge (Pit) – Wow, he was stellar during his time in Pittsburgh
27. H. Pence (Hou) – He’s at that magic age of 27 if you believe in that
28. S. Choo (Cle) – This could be his last season if he has to join Korean army
29. A. McCutchen (Pit) – Produced in limited action, entire season will tell a lot
30. J. Pierre (ChW) – Last time he started he had 60+ steals
31. A. Soriano (ChC) – He’s aging, but will out produce spot if he plays more
32. N. Cruz (Tex) – If I were Texas I’d sell high on him, trade candidate
33. B. Abreu (LAA) – 30 SB saved his season, at 36 what can we expect?
34. C. Hart (Mil) – After two 20/20 seasons he laid an egg, change of scenery?
35. C. Beltran (NYM) – Will miss a month, but I think he’ll be underrated
36. J. Borbon (Tex) – Pure speed atop order, much better in fantasy than reality
37. M. Bourn (Hou) – Maybe the fastest guy in baseball
38. A. Rios (ChW) – White Sox are hoping he’ll bounce back in a big way
39. C. Young (Ari) – Maybe he’ll be able to put together a complete set of stats
40. B. Hawpe (Col) – A big-time trade candidate with power
41. V. Wells (Tor) – Ran some more but just hasn’t lived up to contract
42. N. Morgan (Was) – Would the real Nyjer Morgan please stand up
43. R. Davis (Oak) – I don’t think he’s that good, but speed
44. R. Ibanez (Phi) – Defied the odds and was likely 1st half MVP, repeat doubtful
45. J. Rivera (LAA) – Finally had a productive season, trade rumors?
46. J. Kubel (Min) – Slotted to be Twins DH, produced nicely
47. J. Drew (Bos) – Bay exit likely means he moves up in the order
48. C. Gomez (Mil) – I think he’ll fly on the Milwaukee base paths
49. N. McLouth (Atl) – Not as good as ’08 but still not too bad
50. J. Damon (FA) – Hopefully he signs soon as he’s still valuable

Prospects
1. J. Heyward (Atl) – There are rumblings that he could be starting RF
2. M. Stanton (Fla) – I like his old name Giancarlo Cruz, STUD!
3. D. Jennings (TB) – He’ll likely make the Crawford/Upton duo a trio
4. M. Taylor (Oak) – With the way came to Oakland, they must of liked him
5. R. Westmoreland (Bos) – Has all the tools just needs to put in the time
6. F. Martinez (NYM) – Great power but not polished enough, injuries too
7. D. Ackley (Sea) – Might move to 2B or 1B but he limited ceiling
8. D. Brown (Phi) – Tools galore but not sure he puts it together
9. A. Hicks (Min) – Starting to move up prospects lists very quickly
10. M. Saunders (Sea) – I really think he’s a lot better than people think

Not a Nelson Cruz fan?

[Padsin05]

heres a top 50 OF that is being overlooked

Kyle Blanks- in 148 AB's last year as a 22 yr old posted a .868 ops, with 10 hrs and 22 rbis

should have plenty of Rbi opportunities and can run a bit

2010 Adam Lind alert, .280 33 hr 90 rbi

I just don't think Quentin will be healthy.

[RedSoxNation04]

Milledge seems really, really high here....

I just don't think Quentin will be healthy.

Apparently he is healthy

Won't he get the bulk of the DH AB's?

Wells is too high.
Morgan is too low.

doubt it unless Andruw Jones plays the outfield

I understand you're high on Bruce but i'm not sure if he's a top 20 outfielder yet

Andruw Jones is going to be a everyday player for the ChiSox?
