With the top 150 fantasy baseball players all ordered and ranked on the initial 2015 Big Board, the individual position rankings are well underway. All told, there will be (count 'em) 300 players ranked.
After providing some sequencing to the third basemen last time out, next up are the starting pitchers, an impossibly deep position.
As such, rather than waste any time here going through the tiers, it's better to just get right down to it. Here, you can peruse the top 85 overall fantasy starters, as well as a few others you should watch, including potential impact rookies.
The only point to make before getting to that: Fantasy owners won't have a problem piecing together a pitching staff filled with fantasy-friendly arms, even if they grab just one in the first 10 rounds or, frankly, wait that long to take their first. Yes, the position is that deep.
These rankings consider three factors:
First, everything is based on 10- or 12-team mixed leagues with standard 5x5 rotisserie scoring (BA, R, HR, RBI, SB for hitters; W, ERA, WHIP, K, SV for pitchers).
Second, lineup construction accounts for 22 active-roster positions consisting of: one each for catcher, first base, second base, third base, shortstop, corner infield, middle infield and utility, along with five outfielders and nine pitchers.
And third, to be eligible at a particular position, players either must have played at least 20 games there in 2014 or be in line to start there in 2015.
