Fake Teams Top 200 Rankings for 2013

Ray Guilfoyle ranks his Top 200 players for 2013, with only two starting pitchers cracking his Top 25, and 11 in his Top 50.

By Ray Guilfoyle
Rob Tringali

This was my first time putting together a Top 200 Ranking, and I have to admit, it was not easy. You see, I am not one to rank starting pitchers too early, but after looking at the available hitters, I am starting to think that waiting on starting pitchers might be THE draft strategy to use this season. I mean, waiting till rounds 8-10 before drafting a starter. I do recommend drafting an ace-level starter in rounds 3-5, but after that, I think you can wait till rounds 9-11.

Included in the rankings is my take on how each hitter and pitcher will help you in each 5 x 5 category. An "X' in a category means that the hitter will provide above average production for his position. This is something I have always wanted to do in the past, but never did, so here it is. I will update the Top 200 with auction values in the near future.

Below is my first take on ranking the Top 200 for 2013:
