I'll keep this short and sweet. I have no respect for your feelings, so when you see Mike Trout is not my No. 1 Outfielder (oh my god!), go ahead and talk trash; see if I care. It's like the time I became the Internet's Most Hated Man when I said Eric Hosmer is a pussy. The truth can crush a heart. And I'm no player, but I crush a lot. Make the jump and see Mike Trout get Big Pun'd:
The rankings are grouped into chunks of fifteen. I did not include any prospects; just starting OF listed at MLBDepthCharts.com.

There are players with OF eligibility who were not included. If you're playing Ben Zobrist at OF, rather than SS, you are stupid and I don't want you visiting Sons of Roto anymore. Get out of here! There are also a group of 1B that could have been included, but I don't rank players at multiple positions. It's easier on the eyes when drafting (plus I get to include more players here).
You can downgrade Darin Mastroianni if you wish. There is a chance he could lose his job to Aaron Hicks.

Question, is Carlos Gomez going to be at the top of the Brewers lineup or the bottom and where do you draw whichever conclusion you come to from?
MLBDepthCharts.com: Gomez is hitting 6th between Lucroy and the temp. First Baseman. I'm guessing Weeks would have to go down (Injury) for Gomez to move up the lineup.
