By Fantasy Baseball Analysts Matthew Rosser and Curtis Bailey
Over the season we will be providing you with our insights and opinions on how this season will play out from a Fantasy Baseball Perspective. You can expect to see our baseball articles on the site Sunday evenings from here on out, through the entire baseball season. To start things off we have our Preseason Top 300 Rankings. We are approaching this from a 12 team, head-to-head points perspective. The goal with these rankings is to rank the players in the order that they will finish in on the final season point standings. Our positional eligibilities are pulled from Yahoo Fantasy Sports and our ADP’s are pulled from the NFBC.
