Fantasy Baseball Projections: Infield

Submitted by TotalAccess on Mon, 03/09/2009 - 09:00

In anticipation of the draft for The Hazean’s 2009 fantasy baseball challenge, I decided to dabble in some preseason projections.

The problem with that thought, though, is that I really do not spend as much time working on my fantasy baseball knowledge as I do football. So I brought in some fantasy baseball muscle to compile these projections.

Aaron McCoy, fantasy baseball connoisseur and a co-worker of mine, offered his fantasy baseball expertise for these rankings. I have to say, they are pretty impressive and I might even use them to draft my team this weekend.

I will be positing his projections, rankings, and Big Board throughout the week, so make sure to come by and check them out. Feel free to offer your opinion on his rankings via the comments, and thank him for doing a great job with these.

Hit the jump for today’s rankings.
