Chris Clegg's OBP Dynasty Rankings for Fantasy Baseball(Top 500)
Chris Clegg ranks his top 500 players for OBP Dynasty Fantasy Baseball leagues.
My Dynasty rankings have a focus on a three-year window. These rankings are designed to give you a good idea of how to draft a dynasty startup and provide trade value. It is not perfect when negotiating a trade because every team is built differently, but this gives you a decent idea of where values lie when discussing trades. If you want to use the trade calculator that are based on my three-year projections, you can find those here:
A couple of important notes when looking at these rankings:
With many dynasty leagues using saves+holds instead of saves, I value relievers that way for this list. In saves+holds, I would much rather wait on relievers with great ratios that will get holds since they are valued the same as saves. Therefore, you will find fewer relievers on my list than others. I try to tier the relievers based on skill level and the number of Sv/Hld they can provide.
These rankings are designed for a 5x5 league with OBP. Be sure to know that some player’s values may drastically change in an OBP format.
For league type, I assume a 15-team, one-catcher league. In a shallower format, catchers become less valuable, and high-end players are more valuable because the replacement level is higher.
These rankings factor in weekly lineup leagues. For daily, Ohtani is the clear-cut number one.
It is essential to think about team build when using a dynasty list. If you are rebuilding or built to win in year 2, push prospects and younger players up. Drop players like Verlander and Scherzer down a bit.
If you are built to win now, pieces like Verlander and Scherzer are much more valuable to you despite having less trade value.
