FDH Top 30 players in MLB



By Rick Morris

NOTE: These players are ranked based not merely on how they have produced this year, but also the past year or two.  These are not fantasy rankings, but are based on overall play.  Numbers in parentheses indicate where the players ranked on our 2013 rankings, with the ones who fell out of those rankings listed at the bottom.  Also, Jose Fernandez was slotted at #5 prior to his injury and Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Wacha would likely have been on as well.  Thanks much to FDH Director of Research Nate Noy for his help in refining the list.
