ESPN has rolled out their top 300 players for fantasy baseball, let’s see how the Mets did:
- David Wright (19)
- Murphy (122)
- Granderson (154)
- Wheeler (176)
- Parnell (188)
- Colon (231)
- Gee (253)
- Eric Young Jr (261)
- Niese (279)
If every team had near equal talent, then every team should have 10 players in the top 300, the Mets have 9, which isn’t that far off. It is curious that the second best outfielder the Mets have, in terms of fantasy points is Eric Young Jr. (probably due to stolen bases) and he isn’t guaranteed a spot to play everyday.
In ESPN’s defense, how often does a league leader in stolen bases not have a guaranteed position? (Although I have drafted Pierre for that even when I knew he wouldn’t play everyday).
