I see Cruz as a top 15 OF, possibly top 10 if he can build on last season. The guy can crush the ball. The SB's are nice too, even if he only steals 10- 12. I see him hitting 35-40 hrs this year. I think Manny is way to high on this list. He's getting old and lets not forget he's not on the juice anymore, not a good combo for fantasy baseball numbers. I see his numbers taking a huge dive this year, He may make a good 3rd OF, but his days of being a solid #1OF are done. Almost every OF ranking list is completely different. It is nice to take an average of the different lists and get some pros and cons on where guys are getting ranked.
Lists are fun... but I'm fairly certain Lastings Milledge isn't where he should be, considering I would rather have every single guy that's listed after him.

I realize most of 08 was in AAA, but I think the fact that it successfully translated into the majors last year should make him a pretty solid pick around the 6th round. Especially when people are drafting Werth in the late 3rd/early 4th. I won't own Werth on one team this year if I know I can get Cruz 2 rounds later.....33 HR in 128 games??
Agreed on all accounts, but do you rank Cruz as one of the Elite Power OFers now? I certainly don't
Bumpity bump. I do.
0-3 to 4-3. Worst choke in the history of baseball. Enough said.
What a man beast! I have him in three leagues and he is bananas!

here's the deal with this list. it stinks. My fantasy team's outfield consists of 2 of the top 10 adn 3 of the top 15 players on this list. and my outfield stinks. so there is something wrong here.

look here you two. I have found that the only way to motivate my players is to berate and talk down to them (see: Borbon, Julio) I don't need the two of you giving them any comfort of confidence. If they get in a slump, its on you.
