Last updated: May 8

These are our rankings for the 2008 Fantasy Baseball season. These rankings are based off of seasonal (not keeper) Rotisserie play, for the most part, but can still be quite useful for Head-to-Head owners as well.

Position eligibility is determined by 20 games played last season. You'll notice that there aren't as many dual-eligible Fantasy studs as in previous years, which makes players like Carlos Guillen and B.J. Upton a little more valuable this year. That's mainly because they are big hitters with middle-infield eligibility. Players are ranked at all positions they are eligible at.
