Every week during the season, we have been releasing a list of the best batters in fantasy baseball that’s designed to be similar to Nick’s list of Top 100 Starting Pitchers that comes out each Monday. Our objective has been to give you the most current rankings of who we see as being the top 150 hitters league-wide. Now that the season winds down toward playoff matchups, the list is necessarily going to be a little more unforgiving to guys who haven't been producing up to high expectations; from here on out, it's all about what a player's capable of in the final month and not what we hoped his second-half value might become. Health, playing time and clutch hitting matter now more than ever. Gauging trade value can be a difficult beast to tackle, so feel free to comment with questions regarding potential transactions; the circumstances surrounding your roster may result in different advice or recommendations depending on your needs in your roto league. Also, I’m happy to explain any moves up or down should you be curious about my rationale, as some readers have voiced a desire to make sense of the fluctuations they see. Enjoy!
