Baseball America's Top 50 Dynasty Third Basemen

[Seth Stohs]

I enjoy lists like this, especially for those who play fantasy baseball. I am in one keeper league with a 29-man roster and a 30-man minor league roster. Definitely interesting. Dynasty is a keeper league in which once you have a player on your roster, you have that player until you make the decision to let them go. You could draft Justin Verlander and have him for 1 or 2 years, or you could draft Jackson Chourio and have him on your roster for the next 20 years. 

With that background, Baseball America is in the middle of a series in which they have been ranking the top 50 players by position in terms of their value in a dynasty league today... (please click on the link for much more... but discuss here). 

Here are Twins, AL Central players, and whoever is #1... I'll split these up by position so that we can get into more depth on the individuals. 

Third Base:  
#1: Gunnar Henderson, Orioles 
#4: Jose Ramirez, Guardians 
#6: Royce Lewis, Twins 
#14: Colt Keith, Tigers 
#26: Maikel Garcia, Royals
#27: Bryan Ramos, White Sox 
#28: Michael Busch, Dodgers (Minnesotan)
#30: Justyn Henry-Malloy, Tigers 
#41: Nick Loftin, Royals 
#43: Yoan Moncada, White Sox 
#44: Deyvison De Los Santos, Guardians 
#45: Mac Horvath, Orioles (Minnesotan) 

Good to see Royce Lewis up so high on the list. Yeah, I do think he could be a little higher, but this is a good spot, just ahead of Manny Machado. Fun seeing a couple of Minnesotans on the list too. 

Share your thoughts.

Royce is an interesting case with key factors all over the place. Premium draft choice (1-1) but an already long injury history and position move. While he has barely exhausted his rookie status, he'll be a Super-2 after the '24 season. His minor league stats are not exceptional, but he's been terrific on the field for the Twins.
