Baseball America's Top 100 Dynasty Outfielders

[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).  They ranked the top 75 shortstops. 

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. 

Outfielders:  
#1: Ronald Acuna, Braves 
#2: Julio Rodriguez, Mariners 
#12: Luis Robert, White Sox 
#17: Mike Trout, Angels (son of former Twins prospect Jeff) 
#18: Riley Greene, Tigers 
#34: Eloy Jimenez, White Sox 
#38: Walker Jenkins, Twins 
#43: Steven Kwan, Guardians 
#45: Spencer Steer, Reds 
#46: Max Clark, Tigers 
#51: Matt Wallner, Twins 
#55: Kerry Carpenter, Tigers 
#57: Chase DeLauter, Guardians
#69: Emmanuel Rodriguez, Twins 
#70: Byron Buxton, Twins 
#72: Max Kepler, Twins 
#80: MJ Melendez, Royals 
#83: Alex Kirilloff, Twins 
#84: Brent Rooker, A's 
#89: Parker Meadows, Tigers 
#91: Drew Gilbert, Mets (Stillwater, MN, native) 
#95: Nelson Velazquez, Royals 
#96: Whit Merrifield, Royals 

Again, no real surprises here as it is a Dynasty League. Obviously if you are drafting for just a 2024 season, Walker Jenkins won't even get drafted, but considering his ceiling and what many hope he can be for a dozen or more years to come.
