Welcome to your monthly, free 2009 fantasy baseball rankings for hitters. Ratings are a reflection of a player's trade value in keeper league fantasy baseball pools. They reflect a players predicted performance taking upside, injury risk and consistency into account. These predictions also include a statistical evaluation taking historical and current numbers, age, positional scarcity and positional flexibility into account. Basically, if you are in a keeper league, this is a combination of analysis and educated opinion based on my statistical model of a player's 'trade value'. Naturally, individual trades would depend on the direction you are currently taking your team.
